Vader deserved so much more than what the last few films have given him

When 'Star Wars' Got Darth Vader Wrong
Disney/Lucasfilm

Throughout the years, Darth Vader has creeped his way into many films in the star wars saga. These are some of the moments when filmmakers have completely misunderstood his character. A sheer evil presence, a conflicted former Jedi. Vader deserved so much more than he was given these last few Star Wars films.

1. Midi-what?In 'The Phantom Menace', Qui-Gon Jinn is takes a blood sample from young Anakin Skywalker and tests his Midi-chlorian counts, which tell how force-sensitive a person is. This completely retcons the idea that the Force is a spiritual presence that is followed in a religious sense.

2. NOOOOOOOO

The infamous scene from 'Revenge of the Sith' is Darth Vader's "first" canonical appearance in the saga. But something just doesn't fit. The suit doesn't hold true to the original 1977 design, and can we talk about how awkward that scream was?! Vader wouldn't scream "No!", he'd force-choke the emperor and set the damn place on fire.

3. .....was that a pun?Vader cameo, check. Force-choking, check. Joking? While the epic entrance for the dark lord in 'Rogue One' was a wonder to behold, hearing him make a pun about choking Orson Krennic to the ground just seems...uncharacteristic. Don't get me wrong though, that final scene was truly incredible.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
