Welcome to the 30 day challenge of May, which sees a return to two of the most iconic things in pop culture, to say nothing of Science Fiction, namely Star Trek and Star Wars. Throughout this month some prompts will be general and apply to both franchises, while others will be Trek/Wars specific, as indicated.

To start us off we’re doing a Star Wars specific day and talking about one the most iconic characters of all time, one Anakin Skywalker AKA Darth Vader. What makes him work -or not- to you? Did his descent into villainy work for you? Which project used him most effectively? Sound off below.

Bonus prompt: How powerful should Darth Vader be?

Extra Bonus prompt: Is he overexposed, or are you always down for more?

Bonus prompt Legends: Any facets of Vader from ancillary material you’d like to see re-canonized, or which were too ridiculous?
