Darth Vader
Template:SW Character Darth Vader is a fictional character from Star Wars. Born Anakin Skywalker (41 BBY - 4 ABY), he assumes the name "Darth Vader" in 19 BBY.
In A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, Vader is portrayed as the epitome of pure evil, a man who, in holding the entire galaxy under the boot of an evil Empire, dispassionately commits torture, oversees the destruction of an entire planet, and murders Imperial officers for the most minor slights. In later films, his redemption to goodness, as well as the cause of his initial fall to evil, are explored in greater depth. Darth Vader is widely considered to be one of the most iconic movie villains of all time.
In total, the character was portrayed by six different actors during the film series. Anakin Skywalker is played by Jake Lloyd as a child and Hayden Christensen as a young adult. As Darth Vader, his body is played by Christensen and David Prowse and his voice is played by James Earl Jones, with legendary fencer Bob Anderson standing in as a stunt double occasionally in Episodes V and VI. Sebastian Shaw portrays the dying, elderly (and redeemed) man in the theatrical release of Episode VI; however, Christensen now plays the ghost of Skywalker in the most recent DVD release. In Sanskrit, the name "Anakin" means "warrior." Creator George Lucas took the name from his friend and fellow film director, Ken Annakin.
Anakin Skywalker
Anakin "Ani" Skywalker is believed by many, notably Qui-Gon Jinn, to be the Chosen One destined to bring balance to the Force. He is trained as a Jedi and becomes a legendary figure during the Clone Wars. However, Anakin's arrogant behavior and emotional insecurities eventually cause him to turn to the Dark Side, becoming Darth Vader. Jedi Master Mace Windu says that the Chosen One would destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force. By throwing Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine down the shaft of the Second Death Star, as Darth Vader, Anakin destroys the Sith.
Son of Shmi Skywalker, Anakin is born in about 41 BBY. Some viewers have drawn narrative parallels between this tale and the New Testament stories of Jesus' conception and birth, as Shmi claims that there was no father and that she just became pregnant with Anakin. The wise Qui-Gon Jinn suggests that the midi-chlorians might have conceived him. In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Chancellor Palpatine hints that the Sith Lords can provoke midi-chlorians into producing life, raising the possibility that Palpatine himself or his late master, Darth Plagueis, engineered the creation of Anakin.
In the prequels, and especially in the third episode, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Anakin is a tragic hero of Star Wars whose tragic flaw (or hamartia) is his fear of loss.
Childhood and discovery
In The Phantom Menace, he appears as a kind, selfless nine-year-old boy (played by Jake Lloyd) and chattel to the curmudgeonly scrap-shop owner Watto. Even at this young age, he has a reputation for being able to build or repair anything, evidenced by the creation of his own protocol droid C-3PO and podracer, each from salvaged parts. A child prodigy, Anakin excels at mathematics and engineering. Among his many talents, he also is a remarkable pilot due to his enhanced intuition and quick reflexes (resulting undoubtedly from his sensitivity to the Force).
He is found on Tatooine by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, and after his gifts are revealed, Qui-Gon is convinced that Skywalker is the individual told of in prophecy who will "bring balance to the Force." He and Padmé Amidala are able to win Anakin's freedom by entering the boy in a podrace. Although Anakin is freed, the Jedi is unable to free Shmi. After the crisis in which they were entangled ended victoriously in the Battle of Naboo, it seems they did not return to free her, until an adolescent Anakin did so of his own accord. (This is unclear, however.)
Master Jinn asks the Jedi Council to allow him to train Anakin as his student, after his current apprentice, Obi-Wan, completes the trials necessary to become a Jedi Knight. This request is denied. Anakin is much older than usual, and they are concerned that his prior experiences will interfere with his training. In particular, he exhibits much fear and anger, left over from his days as a slave, and further compounded by the separation from his mother and home.
Ultimately, he helps to lead Naboo and Gungan forces to victory over the Trade Federation by destroying its flagship, the Droid Control Ship. Later, a dying Qui-Gon, slain by Darth Maul, urges Obi-Wan to train Anakin. The Council reluctantly approves. Anakin will however be a much too difficult student for the young Obi-Wan. Meanwhile, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine would "watch [his] career with great interest."
In the course of events he meets Padmé Amidala, with whom he forms a strong bond. Padmé Amidala is one of Anakin's first glimpses of the galaxy beyond Tatooine. He is fascinated with her as a child, and as he grows to adolescence, this develops into a tragically flawed romance. They will eventually have two children, Luke and Leia, both of whom later became central figures in the Rebellion and New Republic eras.
The Clone Wars
In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, (2002), Anakin is now a young adult and cocky Jedi apprentice (played by actor Hayden Christensen). Anakin develops as an arrogant, socially awkward loner, doubtless in part because of his transition from scrapyard slave to rising star of the Jedi Order. His natural abilities place him leaps and bounds above his peers, and this feeds his ego. He frequently shows off, and displays little respect for Obi-Wan, whom he partially views as inferior. Though, he does state that Obi-Wan is like a father to him and he claims he has the wisdom of Master Yoda and the power of Mace Windu. He forms a friendship with Palpatine, who would say things to further fuel his pride (e.g. "I foresee you becoming the greatest of all the Jedi ...").
He is assigned to guard Padmé, who is now a senator. In conversation he reveals his affection for Padmé, a distrust of the political process and his view of the need for one strong leader. He falls in love with Padmé, and she reciprocates. Both seem entranced with the other and their different social castes. Anakin's pursuit of this relationship is in violation of Jedi tradition, which holds that although Jedi are not required to be celibate, they must avoid attachment in their relationships.
While still guarding Padmé, Anakin senses that his mother, Shmi, is in danger. After arriving on Tatooine, Anakin finds that his mother has been freed from slavery and has been living in the desert with her new husband when she is captured by Tusken Raiders. He arrives to talk to Shmi shortly before she dies. Angry at the Tuskens, his dark side is more strongly revealed as he slaughters the entire tribe of Tuskens; killing all, including the women and children. After losing his right arm in a lightsaber battle with Count Dooku, the movie ends with Anakin's elopement and marriage to Padmé on Naboo.
In Star Wars: Clone Wars, Anakin goes through many battles in the war. One of such major events in it was his battle with Asajj Ventress. He is later made a full-fledged Jedi, despite the fact that he never goes through the final test prior to his knighting. During a mission to save the Nelvaanian Braves, Anakin goes through a cave that reveals what would become him in the future. It is also revealed that the twins Luke and Leia are conceived during this time period as well.
Transformation to Vader
In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Anakin and Obi-Wan storm the Confederate flagship The Invisible Hand where Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku) is holding Chancellor Palpatine hostage. On the bridge of the ship, Anakin fights, and at Palpatine's urgings, kills Tyranus. He regrets this action, citing that it is not the way of the Jedi to kill a foe that had already surrendered.
Upon his return to Coruscant, Anakin is reunited with his wife and she informs him of her pregnancy. Dark times followed when Palpatine makes Anakin his representative on the Jedi Council. The other Jedi reluctantly accept Anakin's placement on the council, but deny him the rank of Jedi Master. Further, the Jedi Council urge Anakin to keep tabs on Palpatine. This leads Anakin to lose his trust in the Jedi Council.
As he continues to meet with Palpatine, the Chancellor offers Anakin the chance to learn the Dark Side of the Force and use the power against the Jedi. Anakin realizes that Palpatine is Darth Sidious and promptly reports this to Mace Windu. Windu and three other Jedi go to arrest the chancellor. Palpatine duels with the Jedi, slaying three of them almost immediately. Windu and Palpatine continue to fight until Windu comes out on top, holding his weapon on the cowering Sith.
Anakin arrives just in time to see Windu preparing to arrest Palpatine. Palpatine then attacks Windu with Force lightning while pleading to Anakin for help. Windu screams at Anakin not to listen. During this battle Palpatine goes through a physical transformation moving toward the look that he would embody as emperor in the later episodes. Windu prevails and expresses a desire to kill Palpatine and end the Sith; however, Anakin confronts him stating that Palpatine must stand trial—to execute him is not the way of the Jedi. Windu chooses to attack, but before he can kill Palpatine, Anakin draws his lightsaber, severing most of Windu's arm. Before Windu could respond, Palpatine uses Force lightning and sends Windu plummeting to his death. After this, Anakin questions his actions but Palpatine states that he is fulfilling his destiny. He further encourages Anakin to embrace the dark side. Anakin says he will do anything Palpatine desires, but he must help save Padmé's life. Anakin then pledges himself to the Dark Side and Sidious gives him a new name: Darth Vader.
Palpatine gives Vader his first mission: execute Order 66 by leading a battalion of Clone Stormtroopers to the Jedi Temple and kill every Jedi and Padawan inside. Vader does this without question, killing venerable Jedi and children alike. Next, Vader is sent to the planet Mustafar where he kills the Council of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, including Trade Federation Viceroy, Nute Gunray, Sidious's former ally who invades and occupies Naboo and is defeated by Anakin in the Battle of Naboo, ten years before the Clone Wars.
Later, Padmé goes to Mustafar to try to reason with him. Unknown to her, Obi-Wan stows away on his ship to find Anakin. Upon seeing Obi-Wan, Anakin suspects betrayal and uses his power to choke Padmé until she loses consciousness. Anakin and Obi-Wan fight an intense battle throughout the mining complex and down the river of lava outside. The battle ends on the banks of the lava river, where Anakin, overconfident, leaps to strike his former master, only to lose his left arm and both legs to Obi-Wan's blade.
Anakin tries to claw his way up the scree, but his body catches on fire and he is nearly immolated. After Obi-Wan and Padmé leave the planet, Darth Sidious comes and finds Anakin barely alive next to the lava river. He returns with Anakin to Coruscant and repairs the damage to his body through intensive cybernetic enhancement. Upon his revival as a cyborg, Vader questions his master about Padmé's fate. Sidious tells him that Anakin/Vader killed Padmé in anger. (Padmé died during childbirth.)
Overwhelmed by his despair in the belief he had killed his wife and unborn child, the only thing that remains in his life is his service to the new Emperor.
Darth Vader
Vader is a cruel and frightening figure in the Empire, and his ability to choke people using the Force is a skill he uses often. In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Vader's aggressive instincts are somewhat restrained: when Admiral Motti challenges Vader's "sad devotion" to the Force, Grand Moff Tarkin does not allow Vader to choke Motti to death, only long enough to make his point. The death of Tarkin aboard the Death Star removes any apparent check on Vader's power, and throughout the rest of the trilogy, Imperial officers universally react with fear and dread at Vader's presence. This fear is not unwarranted, as both Admiral Ozzel and Captain Needa die by Vader's hand in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Admiral Piett curiously survives, despite failing to recapture the Millenium Falcon.
Fighting the rebellion
At the beginning of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Vader has been charged with tracing the stolen plans of the Death Star and finding the hidden base of the Rebel Alliance. In the process he tortures Leia Organa and is complicit in the deaths of billions by the destruction of the planet Alderaan, although Grand Moff Tarkin was more directly responsible for the deed. Vader also battles the now-elderly Obi-Wan Kenobi in their second lightsaber duel against each other. Despite Obi-Wan's vague warning that doing so would make him "more powerful than you can possibly imagine" Vader strikes him down, and Obi-Wan becomes a spirit in the Force in order to guide Luke Skywalker. In order to determine the location of the rebel base, Vader allows Luke and Han Solo to rescue Princess Leia and escape with the plans to the Death Star. He then appears again piloting a distinctive TIE/Advanced fighter and almost prevents Luke's successful starfighter attack on the Death Star. When the Millennium Falcon comes in and shoots down one of his two support craft, the other veers into Vader's fighter and sends him spinning away from the Death Star. Vader regains control and escapes.
Battling his son
In Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Vader is at the forefront of the continuing attempt to suppress the Rebellion, as he orders the fleet to approach the ice world of Hoth and prepare a full military assault on the hidden rebel base there. Admiral Ozzel makes the mistake of jumping into the system too close, alerting the rebels to their presence and allowing them to evacuate and escape. While most of the rebels escape to the safety of the rebel fleet, the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive fails, and Vader orders the fleet to pursue the Falcon, even through an asteroid field.
While on this pursuit, Vader receives a new mission from the Emperor—to capture Luke Skywalker, his own son and the pilot who destroyed the Death Star. Vader suggests that he could be turned to the dark side of the Force, and the Emperor agrees, noting that he would be a "powerful asset".
Vader continues pursuing the Falcon, resorting to hiring bounty hunters. Ultimately, the Falcon appears and just as quickly disappears, hiding in a blind spot on the back of the bridge tower of Captain Needa's Star Destroyer. Captain Needa takes responsibility for losing them, and apologizes to Vader. After Needa dies at Vader's hand, the fleet disperses and the Falcon breaks off, floating away as the Star Destroyer it was attached to dumps its garbage before going to hyperspace. The Falcon then sets course to Cloud City, a mining colony administered by Han's old friend Lando Calrissian. Boba Fett, one of the bounty hunters hired by Vader, had deduced their strategy and followed them to Cloud City, alerting Vader.
Vader lands on Cloud City, making a deal with Lando and waiting for the Falcon's arrival. When the Falcon arrives, Vader captures and tortures Han Solo. Luke, training under Yoda on Dagobah, sees a vision of this and rushes to Cloud City to save them, despite the sternest warnings from Yoda that he would risk falling to the dark side. Luke arrives, but Leia warns him it's a trap within the corridors of Cloud City. Lando, Chewbacca, and Leia engineer an escape from Cloud City as Boba Fett takes the frozen Han Solo to collect the bounty from Jabba the Hutt.
Luke ultimately finds Vader, and they battle, Luke not knowing the true identity of Vader. Vader ultimately defeats Luke, cutting off his right hand. Vader tells Luke, "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father." Luke's response "Obi-Wan told me enough. He said you killed him!" is met with the stern reply, "No. I am your father." Vader tells Luke to join him so that they can destroy the Emperor and rule the galaxy as father and son. Luke however refuses to join Vader and escapes.
The redemption of Anakin Skywalker
Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi sees Vader take charge of the construction of a second Death Star. Vader detects the presence of Luke Skywalker, but the Emperor does not. Luke surrenders to Imperial troops on the forest moon of Endor where Luke attempts to convince Vader to turn away from the Dark Side. Vader replies, "It is too late for me, son," taking Luke to the Emperor onboard the incomplete Second Death Star. Luke reluctantly fights an extended Lightsaber battle with Vader, attempting to persuade Vader to renounce the Dark Side of the Force as Vader and the Emperor attempt to turn Luke to the dark side.
Vader telepathically examines Luke's mind and realizes that Leia is Luke's sister (and thus his daughter), and threatens to turn her to the Dark Side if he should fail with Luke. Realizing the threat to his sister, Luke's rage is finally unleashed, and he attacks Lord Vader, driving him back with a whirlwind of blows. Severing Vader's right hand, Luke's fury is suddenly cut short—as he stares at his own cybernetic hand, he realizes with a visceral horror that he has already begun transforming into Vader's successor. As the Emperor approaches, encouraging Luke to finish Vader and take Vader's place, Luke throws down his lightsaber, refusing to perform the killing blow, thus guaranteeing the Emperor's failure. Luke proudly states that he will never turn to the Dark Side of the Force and demonstrates his ability to follow the Jedi Honor Code, and states that he is a Jedi (Luke has finally become one) like his father before him. Enraged at his failure to turn Luke to the Dark Side, the Emperor uses Force lightning to attack Luke.
Luke writhes in agony under the Emperor's torture, begging his father for help. Vader ultimately takes mercy and saves Luke from the Emperor, lifting and throwing him into a deep shaft where he explodes in a fury of dark energies. The dying man pleads with Luke to remove his mask. Luke removes Vader's mask and sees the face of an old, deeply worn man underneath. In his dying breaths, Anakin Skywalker accepts redemption through the light side of the Force, finally admitting to Luke that the goodness within him was not destroyed after all.
According to Steve Sansweet of Lucasfilm and the script for the Return of the Jedi Special Edition, Anakin's body disappeared at death in the same way as Obi-Wan's and Yoda's bodies, [1] though some argue that the movie would have shown his disappearance explicitly if that were the case. In either case, Vader's life support suit and whatever remains inside is burned by Luke in the manner of a Jedi's funeral on the forest moon of Endor.
Later that night, during the celebration on Endor, Luke is able to see the spirit of the redeemed Anakin Skywalker, along with the deceased Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. In the original version of this scene, Anakin was played by Sebastian Shaw, who played Anakin in his death scene. The latest version of Return of the Jedi as of 2005 is the 2004 DVD release where Anakin's spirit is replaced by Hayden Christensen, who plays Anakin/Vader in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.
Behind the Scenes
The character of Darth Vader was not originally planned to be a suited cyborg. This was created when the concept artist drew the opening scene where the Rebel ship Tantive IV was being boarded. It was initially imagined that Darth Vader would fly through space to enter the ship, necessitating a suit and breathing mask. This was later made permanent and incorporated in the story.
It is interesting to note that "Vader" is the Dutch word for "father" as well as that the German word for "father" (Vater) is similar, and it may be tempting to read the character name "Darth Vader" as "Dark Father", a word-play that may well be the root of the Sith title. However judging by the origin of the other Sith names, Vader may also possibly be a derivative of the word invader. It is also worth noting that in the original scripts for Star Wars, the name "Darth Vader" was given to a normal Imperial general. The title "Darth" may also come from "Dark Lord of the Sith."
Vader's leitmotif is The Imperial March.
Anakin plays the protagonist in The New Droid Army, a video game made for the Game Boy Advance. In the game, Anakin is sent to investigate rumours of the Separatists making a new type of droid, superior to other droids and invulnerable to lightsabers. Anakin travels to Tatooine, but is hunted down by Aurra Sing and eventually held in the captivity of Jabba the Hutt. Anakin breaks out, and is called to Coruscant. There, Anakin chases and defeats a Dark Jedi named Trenox, and uncovers Count Dooku's plot to destroy the Jedi Archives. Anakin stops him, but Dooku escapes. Anakin is next sent to Metalorn, where he is to destroy the Cortosis Droid Factory and capture Wat Tambor, the leader of the Techno Union. Anakin completes both objectives, but has to face Count Dooku once again while leaving the factory. Anakin defeates Dooku, who escapes once again.
According to the Alan Dean Foster novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye (which takes place shortly after the events in A New Hope), Vader first faces Luke in combat on the planet Mimban, where he discovers that it was Luke (whom Vader already knows is his son, though it is not mentioned in the book) that destroyed the Death Star, and both enter Lightsaber combat. Luke puts up a valiant fight, but is no match for Vader, though he does manage to cut off the Dark Lord's mechanical arm. Vader's victory is near, but he trips over his own severed arm and falls into a well, though he soon escapes Mimban and recovers from his duel. It has been adapted as a comic book by Dark Horse Comics.
Vader also had a prominent role in the 1996 novel/comic/video game Shadows of the Empire, which took place between Empire and Jedi. He also makes occasional appearances in Dark Horse's Star Wars comic books set between the movies (Mainly "Star Wars: Empire").
Talents
Darth Vader is a brilliant strategist and one of the greatest pilots in the galaxy. Vader still possesses his former persona's amazing engineering skills, having overseen the design of the TIE/Advanced fighter. His talent with the lightsaber is legendary. All of these skills, however, are secondary to his incredible mastery of the Force. As Anakin, he has the greatest known midi-chlorian count (a measure of Force-aptitude) in the galaxy, surpassing that of both Yoda and the Emperor. However, George Lucas states that his injuries on Mustafar (including the severing of all three of his remaining limbs) cost Vader much of his Force potential. Lucas claims that, as a masked and suited Darth Vader, Anakin has roughly 80% the strength of the Emperor. Had he sustained none of his injuries on Mustafar, he would have been about twice as powerful.
Appearance
Anakin is a normal appearing human. As an adult he stands 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 metres) in height. His hair goes from straight and blond as a child to wavy and light brown as an adult. After losing his dominant right arm at the elbow to Count Dooku, he is given a cybernetic prosthetic replacement that is later enhanced by him and covered with a black leather glove. During the Clone Wars he acquires a vertical scar near his right eye, the result of a duel with the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress. Anakin dresses in traditional Jedi garb, though ominously, he wears darker colors (dark brown and black) than most Jedi. In part, his tunic is made of synthetic "leather" and his lightsaber bears no resemblance to his mentor's weapon, which also separates him from most Jedi.
As the Dark Lord of the Sith, Vader's irises turn fiery yellow when he immerses himself fully to the dark side and the passions of hate and anger, but return to normal in his remorse. At first, Vader continuew to dress as a Jedi to hide his new identity. After losing an epic duel with his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin is horribly disfigured by injuries and burns suffered on the fiery lava-planet Mustafar. In addition to his horrific scars and maimed torso, Anakin's lungs are seared, leaving him barely able to breathe. Only his burning hatred and lust for revenge keep his will to live intact. After his rescue by Darth Sidious, it is realized that a cybernetic life support system is required to sustain the once-powerful Anakin. New mechanical limbs are attached and a breathing modulator is incorporated into an imposing obsidian armored suit. He must wear his demonic armour at all times when he is not meditating or healing in his pressurized containment-chamber. Also making him even more fear-evoking and intimidating than his ruthless reputation alone, the suited Darth Vader is now a towering figure, standing nearly 6 feet 8 inches (2.02 metres) in his armor. Even amongst his Imperial subordinates, Vader's frightful presence invokes dread. Ahead of his ominous footfalls, Lord Vader's distinctive, cold, raspy breathing sent chills down the spine as it heralded his villainous presence.
After his redemption and return to the light side of the Force, when he at last fulfilled prophecy and slew the Emperor, Anakin's dying wish is that he should see his son Luke "with his own eyes." Luke complies, and removes the fearsome mask that had caged his father's face for over twenty years. What is revealed is the ghostly pale visage of a sad and withered man in his late forties. Head bald and browless, Anakin's skin is pastely white from not having been exposed to sunlight for two decades, his face still carrying the scars of a tragic duel. His weary eyes stare out from dark, sunken sockets at his son, and back at a life filled with sorrowful regret. Once more they shine blue, as Anakin Skywalker makes peace with the Force and forever joins it.
Depending on the which version is seen (VHS or DVD, respectively), the appearance of Anakin's redeemed Force spirit is either that of a robust, middle-age man with greying brown hair and a kindly face, or that of the younger Anakin in his twenties just before his fall from grace to the dark side, though now he is dressed in the garb of a Jedi Master.
Some have noted that Vader bears more than a passing resemblance to the classic Marvel Universe supervillain Doctor Doom. Darth Vader's head gear appears to be modelled on a Japanese kabuto (兜), which is consistent with the samurai-like order of the Jedi and kendo-like lightsaber duels. It also resembles a German World War II-era Stahlhelm.
Cultural Figure
Due to his central role, Vader has entered the public consciousness as the quintessential frightening villain; the American Film Institute's list of the greatest movie villains placed him third, after Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates.
Lord Vader's powerful, baritone voice coupled with his heavy breathing is easily recognizable to moviegoers—it is symbolic of his transformation from a man of the light to an evil cyborg. He has been parodied by such figures as "Dark Helmet" from Spaceballs and countless other parodies from cartoons, such as "Duck Vader" from Tiny Toon Adventures and "Darth Koopa" from Super Mario Bros. (TV).
Vader's name has become a synonym for frightening evil; for example, political strategist Lee Atwater was known as "the Darth Vader of the Republican Party". Darth Vader's "Imperial Theme" is sometimes used as the leitmotif for Mr. Burns on "The Simpsons" to show a comical comparison between the two fictional characters.
The Polish death metal band Vader took their band name from this character.
During a major renovation, Washington National Cathedral held a competition for children to design new gargoyles for the west towers. One winner was a design featuring Darth Vader (see external links).
The profesional wrestler Leon White wrestled under the names, Big van Vader, The Man Called Vader, and just Vader. The name and gimmick, which originally included a large gargoyle-like helmet worn to the ring, were based on Darth Vader. Vader wrestled in Japan and WCW, were he was their world champion, and in the WWF (now WWE).
