How is Vader cool? I'm asking this as someone who knows nothing about Star Wars I just thought he was supposed to be space Hitler.
Vader gave me slave vibes. He couldn't best the Emperor his own so he was Broken man with nothing left until he found out he had a son. Then offered team up of millennia. Emperor was space Hitler.
Cool is not good or nice. He just was badass. Still evil, but very competent and could wear a black cape like few man can.
He's aesthetically cool. Deep imposing voice, sick armor, nonchalantly wields his lightsaber one handed (which screams "I'm better at this than you"), strong enough with the Force to pull down an AT-AT.
People really do forget just how evil Anakin was, just bc they think he looks cool and was extremely powerful.
