'''Darth Vader''', formerly known as [[Anakin Skywalker]], was a Sith Lord and leading member of the Galactic Empire. He was once a Jedi Knight and expert pilot trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi, but his emotions caused him to give in to his anger and aggression and he turned to the Dark Side of the Force. This new path caused him to become a Sith and resulted in a duel with Obi-Wan that resulted in him adopting his body armor and life-support system. Vader soon became a feared leader of the Empire. He had a secret apprentince named Galen Marek but ended up almost killing him. He had a son and a daughter, [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[Princess Leia]] respectively. However, due to complications, he did not know Luke was his son until after the first Death Star blew up, and he did not know Leia was his daughter until the day he died. Darth Vader dramatically told Luke "I am your father" in Cloud City where they dueled. During the same duel, Vader was responsible for cutting off Luke's right hand. Soon the the two met again for a final duel. Luke won the duel but [[Palpatine]] lashed out Force Lightning at him. Vader saved Luke and threw Palpitine into the Reacter Core of the Death Star II. Vader became good once again but died shortly after. This minifigure was one of the first [[Star Wars]] [[minifigure]]s. There are several versions of Darth Vader, but the most common version is the one that LEGO's first version (before the 2009 redesigned torso).

== Chrome ==
Alongside LEGO® Star Wars' 10th anniversary, LEGO produced Chrome Darth Vader minifigures to promote the event, and [[4547551 Chrome Darth Vader|polybags]] of the Chrome Vader were given out in various promotions. The Chrome Vader was the same design as the 2009 version of Vader with the new torso, but shiny paint was used instead of the standard black.

A red version of Darth Vader's helmet produced and sold by Lego, however it was not included in any sets. This version was available via BrickLink but has since been removed from their item listings.
