Darth Vader in The Star Wars Saga (1977-Present)
This terrifically detailed fan video puts Darth Vader’s kill count at 55, but includes The Emperor, who, we learned in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, did not actually die when Vader threw him down a Death Star shaft in Return of the Jedi. If, like us, you like to pretend Rise of Skywalker never happened, Vader’s count still stands at 55.
But! We’re putting Darth Vader above Brian Mills because we think he deserves at least some of the blame for Grand Moff Tarkin’s destruction of Alderaan in A New Hope.
He just stands there — and even holds back his daughter, Princess Leia — as her home planet is vaporized. We know he could have prevented it if he wanted to, given his often-demonstrated powers to choke people with his mind.
