"... you probably know that Darth Vader isn't just the iconic villain of the space-fantasy series created in the late 1970s by writer-director George Lucas, but he's also the saga's keystone character. Indeed, in the audio commentary on the DVD of Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Lucas says that he envisioned both trilogies as The Tragedy of Darth Vader."
