Darth Vader's Noooooooooooo!

The Origin of Noooooooooooooooo!

The ending of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was marked with this catchphrase, said by Darth Vader after he is told of the death of Padme by Lord Siddeous. For fans, this scene was a rather anti-climactic ending for the trilogy, which made it very easy to parody and make fun of.
