Darth Vader is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He first appeared in the original Star Wars film (1977) and its novelization (1976).

After a lightsaber battle with his former mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi, Vader is severely injured and is transformed into a cyborg. He serves Palpatine for over two decades, hunting down the remaining Jedi and attempting to crush the Rebel Alliance.
