Darth Vader is one of the most iconic villains known to Star Wars fans. Those who follow Star Wars lore may know, but for those uninitiated, Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker. Unlike other villains known in the history of cinema, his character possesses depth and complexity.

His character arc is nuanced and has an interesting backstory. (Rumor has it that a mid-life crisis made him a villain). This character, created by George Lucas, has cemented its place in the pop culture realm.

When it comes to characters this iconic, passions run high in the hearts of those who follow the lore closely. When new directors attempt their hands at established characters, stories, or adaptations, reactions of all sorts flood the internet. That is exactly what happened with this one, as well.

Some netizens thought that the legacy of such an iconic villain like Darth Vader should be kept untouched, while others expressed different opinions.

As mentioned before, sentiments are a vital factor determining success or flop for not just Star Wars but every other movie ever made. But this time, some netizens expressed a feeling of exhaustion with the Skywalker saga.

Milking the Skywalker saga time and again is what netizens have taken funny digs at. They have also expressed how, given that the power of AI is here, they can now create their own movies. Ambitious, isn't it?
