Darth Vader
Darth Vader is the masked villain of the original Star Wars trilogy, a former hero who turned to evil and serves as enforcer for a galactic empire.
The character's black armor, mechanical breathing, and bass voice have made him an icon of cinematic villainy.
Used figuratively for intimidating authority figures or people who've gone over to the dark side: My boss has gone full Darth Vader on the new policy.
