Darth Vader Was Mentally Ill, Researchers Say

What part of going from hero boy to slicing Jedi kids in half translates to "mental stability"? (and sorry, but killing kids is definitely "evil" by definition)....

Of course Vader was a little off his nut....

I don't think I need the psychiatric study of a fictional character to tell me that...

He had some classic issues: megalomania, anger control issues, mommy issues, and a bit of a daredevil streak.... He's basically a walking, wheezing case file...

Good point...

Of course, I'm sure one could take any "normal" person, and find a myriad of possible disorders. It's funny though...the shrinks often turn out to be the nuttiest nuts in the house....

Gotta wonder though...

These fruitloops would have us all on Prozac, I've seen there are many kids under 10 on the stuff....

Mind you, by their theory, if we ALL took Prozac then maybe we wouldnt need these shrinks

You all remember this was a fictional character right?

I think they are the ones that need mental help. Just how crazy and wasteful can you be. It was just a movie. I can not believe they did this. What is next? I am all most afraid to ask.

It's true.

I heard that on more than one occasion during the filming of the trilogy, he attempted to use The Schwartz.
