But we often learn more from its meticulous costumes and immersive production design than what is explained in the script.

In George Lucas's initial trilogy of films, World of a Galaxy, Far Far Away is gritty and weathered, showing the wear and tear of everyday life.

What a piece of junk very different from the glossy futurism of early SciFi hits like Star Trek or 2000 and One.

This is because Star Wars is and always has bean more fairy tale than science fiction, a struggle between good and evil between light and dark, told with crystal clarity in its visual story talent.

This is perhaps best seen in the sagas costume design, which George Lucas wanted to be familiar, yet not distinctive yet inconspicuous.

In Star Wars, villains are shrouded in darkness and flames, heralding destruction.

Inspired by brutalised architecture and fascist uniforms, the empire on the first order have a chili militaristic look with no sense of individuality.

The storm troopers air faceless, robotic and perfectly symmetrical, aside from the odd detail of a single knee pad, each allowing them to kneel down and shoot their rifles in formation.

Meanwhile, our heroes are closer to the natural world, living in swamps and forests and discovering the force by connecting with nature, often wear natural colors and soft fabrics.

Unlike the harsh uniformity of the empire, they display a wide range of personal tastes.

Dashing rogue Han Solo's Get Up is a mishmash of costume pieces you'd expect to find in spaghetti westerns, from his low slung gun holster to the long duster coat he wears in Return of the Jedi.

And who might you be, Hans Old Smuggling?

Powell Landau, on the other hand, has an undeniable fondness for capes.

When we first meet him, his ostentatious blue cape hints at his wealth and flair for fashion, an image conscious figure compared to the scruffy Han Solo Queen Amidala.

Elaborate wardrobe was inspired by traditional Mongolian guns, Chinese imperial robes and a headdress worn by 1/19 century Russian aristocrat.

Her hair styles may call back to her daughter, Princess Leah, but unlike the simpler costumes of the original trilogy, a model is luxury clothing suggests a life of privilege.

By comparison, Leia favorites practicality over glamour, never shy about making it subtext clear Star Wars features villains who look like demons, robotic skeletons and decay in corpses.

But by far the most iconic is Darth Vader.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Designed by concept artist Ralph McQuarrie and costume designer John Molo, Darth Vader is enigmatic and medicine, hiding Grissom injuries and keeping him alive with a respirator.

Feeders Armor disguises his human frailty while projecting an intimidating, inhuman exterior.

Like several other characters in the franchise.

Vader, please end some problematic troops linking disfigurement with darkness.

As George Lucas explored Vader's backstory in the Star Wars prequels, costuming played a key role.

Anakin Skywalker began as an innocent child wearing a sand colored tunic like look.

After he becomes a Jedi knight, Anakin enters his angry golf face.

His dark Brian rules are the darkest of all.

The Jedi with black leather tops suggest his inevitable slide towards the dark side.

You under us to make my power.

Bi Episode three.

He's scarred and disfigured.

Anakin's final transformation sees a team of sinister droids cover his injured body with Vader's armor on outfit that becomes a living prison.

In these scenes, we witnessed the death of Anakin Skywalker on the birth of Darth Vader on iconic screen villain whose legacy defines the Star Wars saga.

We're not done yet, even for the next generation.

When it comes to embodying evil Darth Vader, look still invoke.
