3 . D A R T H V A D E R

Darth Vader is one of the most recognizable and feared

villains in the history of cinema. Everything f rom his

iconical raspy breathing to his sinister and quasi-

robotic / quasi-samurai character design lends to his air

of menace and evil. Born f rom the sheer force of the

m id i chlorians as Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader's

power over the Force is just astounding, even to the

renowned Master Yoda. After this, he falls prey to the

Dark Side, only to protect his then unborn twins,

Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker; and his beloved

Padme. From this, starts his horrendous and

unforgettable role as Darth Vader. He ult imately

escapes the dark side and redeems himself by

sacrificing his life to save his son, Luke Skywalker, and

kill the Emperor in Return of the Jedi proving that

every evil person has something redeemable in them ,

and that hate is just love gone wrong .

cars, and gadgets has made

fans crazy for Bond movies .

The stereotype of a spy,

depic ted as an impeccable

Senior Operational Officer

exceedingly cunning and

diabolically independent .

He is also extremely

sensible, calm , mature and

sly. From his exceptional

manipulat ive skills, unique

analytical abilities, to be ing

a phenomenal marksman ,

James Bond is one of the

mos t admi red spies in the

era of spy fiction. As an

agent of MI6, Bond holds

code number "007". The

'double-O ' prefix indicates

his discretionary l icence to

kill in the per formance of

his duties.
