A New Antagonist

Darth Vader is one of the most feared enemies of action film to date. In this screenshot from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, he is the main figure. Dressed in a black suit, slightly in shadow due to the backlight, he is no less than intimidating. His surroundings only support this idea, with bodies all over the floor, a storm trooper who's body language projects fear, and an empty feeling that is projected out of the walls. The light in the background, however is the most significant. It seems as if Darth Vader is blocking the full capacity of the light, and is blocking anyone from reaching that positive projection of fluorescent shine. Ironically, it seems as if all hope lay behind Darth Vader, and there is no way through.
