Case File 02 / Psychological Report
Once Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader is the fallen Jedi whose fear of loss becomes imperial violence. He is power as prosthesis: a wounded self sealed inside armor, obedience, and terror.
Darth Vader's psychology is grief mechanized into control. The armor is not only life support; it is emotional architecture, keeping pain functional and visible humanity hidden.
His relationships with Obi-Wan, Palpatine, Padme, and Luke reveal the central contradiction: he seeks power to prevent loss, but power costs him everything he wanted to save. His redemption becomes possible only when love returns without asking his permission.
