Anakin Skywalker, also known as Darth Vader, is the central antagonist of the Star Wars original trilogy and the protagonist of the prequel trilogy. He is a legendary Force-user who served as a Jedi Knight, until he fell to the dark side and became the Sith Lord known as Darth Vader. As a child, Anakin was a slave on the desert planet of Tatooine until he was found by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, who theorized that Anakin was the Chosen One destined to bring balance to the Force. Joining the Jedi Order, Anakin trained as a Padawan under Obi-Wan Kenobi, serving as a Jedi Knight of the Galactic Republic and later trained his own apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. Despite the Jedi prohibiting attachments, Anakin secretly marries Padmé Amidala. By the end of the Clone Wars, Anakin falls to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader after being manipulated by Palpatine, who was secretly the Dark Lord of the Sith. Due to being severely injured in his duel against Obi-Wan, he is rebuilt as an armored cyborg and then, for over two decades, serves Palpatine as one of the leaders of the Galactic Empire, hunting down the remaining Jedi and attempting to crush the Rebel Alliance. After killing Obi-Wan aboard the Death Star and the Battle of Yavin, he discovers the existence of his son, Luke Skywalker, and becomes determined to turn him to the dark side. But Anakin eventually redeems himself to save his son from his Sith master, fulfilling the prophecy as the Chosen One.

I'd suggest watching WickedBinge to have a better understanding of this casting page. For example, sometimes villains are considered Bad Apples, because while what they do is harmful, they do it for the good of something else, or they do bad things due to something that makes it out of their control. Bad Apples can also be considered villains whose intentions are evil, but not evil enough to affect too much of the world around them. Bad Apples can also be mean children who were raised that way by their parents. They can also be irresponsible in their jobs or roles as parents. Neutral characters can be characters who were evil at first, before happily joining the side of good, either being evil from manipulation, or being good after they've been betrayed. (But it all depends on how evil the deeds were before they turned good, as well as how understandable their backstory and reason for doing bad things is, or how good their deeds are to fix things up and make them right again.) Evil Villain is a character that does more harm in their bad things, usually affecting the world around them, but has their rare, VERY rare moments of either good deeds, or feelings and sympathy for something or someone. An Evil Villain can be a character that can be hard to take seriously, but has no goodwill in them either. Evil Villains can also be characters who aren't considered real villains technically, but have done so many bad deeds, with bad intentions that affect the people around them. Even characters with negative thoughts can be considered evil! Devil Incarnate is a character who almost NEVER cares about the evil deeds they do, and they greatly affect the world or lives around them without even caring at all. They'll have either no real reason for being so vicious, or no backstory sympathetic enough that is reasonable for why they are evil in the first place, combined with the heartless deeds they have done that affect others around them greatly. They will not hesitate to do something so harmful and hurtful, even if it's for a small, simple plan! Feel free to rank who you think is Pure Angel, Mostly Good, Fairly Good, Neutral, Bad Apple, Evil Villain, and Devil Incarnate. And if you'd like to, just for fun, you can even explain why that character should be considered the rank you've placed them into the comment section of your selection! Enjoy!
