Darth Vader

Darth Vader (41 BBY–4 ABY) is a fictional character in the Star Wars Universe. He is widely considered to be one of the most iconic movie villains of all time.

Appearance

Anakin is a human of normal appearance. As an adult, he stands 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 metres) in height. His hair goes from straight and blond as a child to wavy and light brown as an adult. After Count Dooku severs his dominant right arm below the elbow, he is fitted with a cybernetic prosthetic replacement that is later enhanced and covered with a black leather glove. During the Clone Wars, he acquires a vertical scar near his right eye, as a result of a duel that pitted him against some large crab droids. Anakin dresses in traditional Jedi garb, though he ominously wears darker colors than most Jedi (dark brown and black), with a tunic made partially of synthetic leather.

As the Dark Lord of the Sith, Anakin's irises turn fiery yellow when he intensely experiences the dark side; however, in his redemption, the colouration returns to normal. After turning to the dark side, he continues to dress as a Jedi to hide his new identity.

After he is revived as a cyborg following his disfigurement on Mustafar, Vader must wear his armour at all times when he is not meditating or healing in his pressurized containment-chamber. A towering figure, the suited Darth Vader is nearly 6 feet 8 inches (2.02 metres) tall. Ahead of his portentous footfalls, the cold, raspy breathing issuing from his breathing respirator sends chills down the spine as it heralds his villainous presence. He wears a chestplate with lights and switches, presumably to manage his cybernetic components. Upon closer examination, the chestplate has Hebrew lettering which has been translated as, "His deeds will not be forgiven, until he merits." http://www.theforce.net/swtc/chestplate.html
