The Villians of Star Wars make the best movie villians.

Well,i know this is an odd subject but i do reckon the Villians of Star Wars are the best movie villians i.e the Dark lord of the sith himself etc. just wondering what are your views?

Darth Vader is number three of all-time villains, which is still pretty badass. But Norma Bates and Hannibal Lector beat him out. But really, Lector, in particular, has such an insanely deep and complex character that he makes Vader look two-dimensional by comparison.

Beating Lector is hard... Vader is great though, i mean come on just look at that guy...

I think the best part is he's imposing and you can't see his face. He could be sneering or ugly behind that mask and no one would ever know.

We did at the end of ROTJ... he didn't look like a nice guy, great Halloween custom though

lol

i don't know why Vader isn't the best i mean the fact that he kills he own soldiers is bad enough pretty vicious if you ask me.

In fact Vader choking failures in the empire was a great idea it really shows that he was questioning himself when he let piett survive in ESB and Piett's return made ROTJ have a hidden realness in it i mean when we saw piett on the star destroyer we all thought dead man walking.

As for SW spawning the best baddies absolutely true i mean it spawned Nute Gunray the best character of them all

True about Lector. But most people are two-dimentional and simple. He is the archetypal villain.

Do you guys think there is anyone more evil in Star Wars than Vader? and i agree about the Lector comment.

Also may i say really the thread asks if the villians of star wars are the best MOVIE villians not real life villians as the hannibal series is based on the real life person Hannibal Lector,so.....yeah

Sidious is much more evil than Vader. Vader wasn't even truly evil; he was able to be redeemed. Sidious is so spiteful and hateful he would have whacked his own son and gone on to chunk some peaceful planet afterwards.

But he doesn't look as cool as Vader does... You don't make a good bad guy when you don't do some serious killing and look like that when there is a big tough guy in a black suit standing next to you

Palpatine is my favorite villain of all times. Vader is third, after Voldemort. A couple of EU villains are third and fourth.

Sidious was that evil, because he had never been in touch with the light side, from his earliest force using days he was a dark side user, vader began as a jedi and then fell, therefore the chances of vader redeeming himself is much easier because he understands that side, while sidious being bred in nothing but darkness gives him a harder ability to do so

Sidious doesn't look evil? Geeze, he scares me, the first time I saw him, I had nightmares!

he looks darn creepy....

Thanks for reviving this 9-year dead thread.

lol, yeah W2G

I love the aliens in SW, not just the villains.....as soon as an alien comes onscreen, it becomes as iconic as Vader, even if its onscreen for 2 seconds. Seriously, ROTJ: Blue elephant playing drums? It works!

Ithorians pwn.
