Add cape for drama

Darth Vader does not get enough credit for being one of the most Needlessly Fancy Villains ever both in the way he dresses and the way he carries himself.
I die a little bit each time someone says something like “but Anakin was so dramatic and said embarrassing things, while Vader was a scary badass who everyone totally did not ever laugh at!” I’m like man, I don’t know which Star Wars YOU were watching, my friend, but I don’t think it was the same one I was watching. I mean, sure, of course Vader is a “scary” villain and he obviously kicks ass, but also look at him. Darth Vader is RIDICULOUS. And he says hilarious, over the top stuff all the time. The guy MAKES HIS DEBUT in the OT in a cloud of smoke while posing. No one but Anakin Skywalker could be in there.
I truly love that Sidious gave him a cape. Like, he had that one all set to go from Day One of Darth Vader’s Suit. “Oh trust me, I’ve known this guy since he was nine. He is going to insist on a cape. I don’t want to listen to all the complaining that will occur if I don’t give him one.”
