Darth Vader, known on Earth as a fictional character from the Star Wars films, was apparently also a real person. He attended Bonjaxx's birthday party in Maruthea and talked with a Ferengi. (COMIC: Party Animals)

Vader was once good but eventually turned to the Dark Side. This made Flip Jackson compare him to the Valeyard, who was the embodiment of the Doctor's dark side. (AUDIO: Stage Fright)

Returned to her old haunts in Perivale in 1989, Ace learned from Ange that their mutual friend Flo married a "brain-dead plumber" whom they had nicknamed "Darth Vader". (TV: Survival)

Professor Maxwell Grey stated that people thinking "Darth Vader said, ‘Luke, I am your father!’ in the second Star Wars movie" was just an example of getting facts wrong, rather than an example of the Mandela Effect. (PROSE: The Mandela Effect, Or Monsters on the Streets of London)

Behind the scenes[]

  • Darth Vader was played physically by Dave Prowse and later by Spencer Wilding.
  • Darth Vader appeared in a Top Gear skit "Master of the Universe" where he was pitted against other opponents including a Dalek, a Cyberman and Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor to see who the fastest "Master of the Universe" was around the Top Gear track. Vader was seen helping the Cyberman put its helmet on, and he was later exterminated when the Dalek became angry that it couldn't fit in the car.
