Darth Vader was the only villain that I have liked. As much as I have liked the new "Star Wars" movies, I wish they had redone the prequels. I never plan on watching those again. I have always wondered how I felt about myself for liking Darth Vader.

To the contrary, I find most Disney movies to convey both truth and morality, and showing the consequences of evil.
The Star Wars prequel story is a difficult one to tell because it's so dark. Obviously it was not done well, but since the franchise depends upon children to make a ton of money, it had to be light enough for younger audiences. My preference would have been to tell a better story and sacrifice some merchandising, but that's the world we live in.
Liking Darth Vader is a sign that you're a good person. He's a good person who did very evil things, and then redeemed himself when it mattered most. Or do you just like that he can choke a person out from a distance?
