* NonActionBigBad: Gets this treatment in ''Tales of the Empire'' - which also doubles up as TheCameo. ''Just his mere presence'' is enough to let Barriss Offee (a newly-minted member of the Inquisitorius) know that she has no way out of her predicament.

* InformedAttribute: a significant plot point in Film/ReturnOfTheJedi is that Vader was good once, still has good in him, and can be redeemed. However, throughout the prequel films before he succumbs fully to the Dark Side, he never really does anything selfless or heroic enough to merit this attitude. One of his most significant victories in the films is destroying the droid control ship in Film/ThePhantomMenace, which he did almost completely by accident. Otherwise, he's almost exclusively shown to be petulant, vain and entitled at best, violent and murderous at worst.

Otherwise, he's almost exclusively shown to be petulant, vain and entitled at best, violent and murderous at worst. ''Revenge of The Sith'' somewhat rectifies this however, as aside from killing the helpless Dooku, Anakin is actually pretty sincerely heroic for the first half of the film[[note]]He refuses to abandon Obi-Wan, initially doesn't give into his darker urges to strike down Palpatine, apologizes for his petulant behavior to Obi-Wan, wishes to fight Grievous alongside Obi-Wan, and, even if for somewhat selfish reasons, does plead Windu not to execute Palpatine, as well as preventing him from doing so by disarming him rather than something deadlier like a stab or decapitation[[/note]], his decision to join Palpatine being made out of desperation, and staying with Palpatine because he thinks [[I'veComeTooFar it's too late to turn back]].

* BerserkButton: Obi-Wan, at least in [[Series/ObiWanKenobi in the eponymous character's show.]] He wants Kenobi to suffer so badly, he makes it clear to the Inquisitors hunting him that he will ''not'' tolerate any failure on their part to get him. Vader rarely raised his voice in the original trilogy, but when he thinks Third Sister let Obi-Wan get away, he storms in screaming in rage. By the time of ''A New Hope'', he's managed to reign that hatred under control, thanks to Palpatine's none too subtle threat to get his shit together or be replaced.
-->'''Vader:''' ''YOU WERE WARNED WHAT DEFEAT WOULD BRING.''

* ArtShiftedSequel: Vader's appearance at the end of ''The Clone Wars'' is very similar to his appearance in the films, while his appearance in ''Rebels'' has a narrower, longer helmet with larger eyes, fitting with the general art style of the show.

* SecretIdentityIdentity: One of the reasons why his identity as Anakin Skywalker is so well hidden is due to the fact that Vader did everything in his power to make his Sith persona his only identity, going out of his way to destroy any connections to his past, from old relics to former friends. But when he realizes that Luke is his long-lost son, Vader begins to suffer an identity crisis. His Vader side wants to corrupt Luke to the Dark Side as a means to destroy Obi-Wan's (and by extension the Jedi's) legacy and overthrow Sidious, while his Anakin side wants to salvage and rebuild what's left of his family. This inner conflict is something Luke exploits to bring his father back to the light.
