I'm working on some #scifi book ideas, and somethi I'm working on some #scifi book ideas, and something I like to know fairly early on for my story is what the villain wants. In thinking over some of my favorite stories, I decided to dig into why I love Vader and why I hate Anakin Skywalker. ⁣ ⁣ In the original trilogy, Darth Vader was the epitome of evil and power. To be honest, I don't know what he really wanted, at least not from just the very first movie. He wants power, and apparently will blow apart planets to get it. But why? I dunno, evil? And still I love it. He has clearly chosen to chase power and was swallowed by it.⁣ ⁣ Then the prequels happened. They tried to convince me that Anakin joined the dark side to save Padme or get revenge for his mother's enslavement. But then his response is to slaughter a bunch of children Jedi? I mean, I can understand him blaming Obi Wan for some stuff, but all the Jedi? He just comes across as weak and whiny. Besides, if that's what he was after, then Darth Vader would still have Padme frozen in carbonite somewhere, waiting to reviver her, like Mr. Freeze from Batman. Or he would have killed all the Huts when he signed up with the empire. ⁣ ⁣ So I guess my conclusion is that a villain's motivation doesn't have to be crazy specific, but it does need to be believable. It needs to make their actions and choices believable.
