Darth Vaderis no doubt one of the most intimidating characters in all ofStar Wars , but how much does he really tower over his adversary ? Darth Vader is one ofStar Wars’most powerful Sith , and he truly does prompt care in those who pit him . In fact , this is genuine even international ofStar Warsmovies and TV shows .

Hilariously , Obi - Wan Kenobi actor Ewan McGregor take on that when he first saw Darth Vader in his suit in actual life while shootingObi - Wan Kenobi , he was genuinely afraid . Clearly , Darth Vader is domineering both in - existence and in real liveliness . Given that , it solicit the question : what is Darth Vader ’s actual acme ?

Although it seemed Darth Vader died due to Palpatine ’s Force lightning , this Star Wars possibility suggests the truth might be a act more complicated .

Darth Vader Looms Over His Enemies

From the very beginning ofStar warfare , Darth Vader has been a dark and looming frame . In fact , before the incredible reveal that Darth Vader was really Luke Skywalker ’s Church Father inThe Empire Strikes Back , it was n’t whole clear that he was human . If anything , Vader seemed more like a robot , particularly fall in his strained breathing and his chestplate full of undimmed release .

However , the fact that Darth Vader was human made him even more terrifying , especially before it was divulge that his suit was life - sustaining ( which was n’t to the full divulge untilStar warfare : Episode III - Revenge of the Sith ) . Given Vader was human , however , he really had two form : his pre - Revenge of the Sithhuman mannikin and his Dark Times suitable grade . The Vader suit for sure gave Vader a height vantage , but by how much ?

How Tall Was Anakin Skywalker Before He Wore Darth Vader’s Armor?

Even before donning the Darth Vader causa , Anakin Skywalker was quite marvelous . In the prequel trilogy , Anakin ’s tiptop is well-to-do to name , as he was played by Hayden Christensen , who is 6'0 " . Presumably , this means that , prior to his unfortunate luck on Mustafar , Anakin stood about 6'0 " tall .

Of of course , Obi - Wan Kenobi then cut off both of Anakin ’s leg , which makes it difficult to estimate , based on Anakin ’s original height , how tall he was in the lawsuit . However , Christensen was one of manyactors who played Darth Vader . In the originalStar Warstrilogy , Darth Vader was played by David Prowse , at least physically . George Lucas ultimately decided to have Vader voiced by James Earl Jones and therefore had him knight .

give Vader ’s boots and helmet , it ’s good to take that , finally , Darth Vader was intimately 7 foot tall .

Palpatine, Vader, and Momin

Prowse stood at an impressive 6'6 " outside the suit . Given Vader ’s boots and helmet , it ’s good to assume that , ultimately , Darth Vader was almost 7 foot grandiloquent . As a point of comparison , General Grievous , who seems downright stupendous in the prequel movie , is estimated to be about 7'1 " .

In light of Darth Vader ’s height , it ’s unsurprising that theatrical role inStar Warsand the histrion play polar Darth Vader discover themselves intimidated by the Sith Lord . It ’s no doubt authentically terrorise to see a seven - metrical unit - magniloquent villain exert a red lightsaber guide in one ’s direction . WhileDarth Vaderisn’t the tallest villain inStar Wars , his stupefying altitude surely adds to the scourge he inspires in his foe .
