I'm throwing a party, and inviting Darth Vader. by

Alas, not really.
This is a game, probably a fairly quick one. There is a theme to the people I will allow at my party, and your job is to figure it out.
All you need to do is reply to this post (or my latest post in the thread), with the subject line "Can I invite X?", where X is the name of the person you want to invite. Throwing in a 'from [canon]' is useful, too, and please make it someone I can look up (ie, someone who has an article on a decent wiki somewhere).
I will either reply with 'Yes, you can!', or 'No, but you can invite' and someone else who does fit the theme. And then someone else replies with their next proposed guest.
If you think you know what the theme is, suggest a guest who meets it, and give your guess at the theme in your post. Be sure to stick it behind a spoiler block, such as this one:
Spoiler SPOILER spoiler spoilER SPOILer sPoIlEr SpOiLeR spOILer Spoilerman Does Whatever A Spoiler Can don't spoil my er How do you solve a problem like a spoiler? Spoi spoi spoi spoi spoiler SPAAAAAAAACE! Sorry about him. ~spoiler block
A name doesn't need to be accompanied by a theory - you can just suggest people to gather information. When a few people have gotten it right, I'll confirm it. :)
You can invite someone from any canon (though steer clear of real people). If there is potential for doubt about which version you're thinking of, go ahead and clarify.
So let's get this party going! Darth is feeling quite lonely right now...

Yes, as several people have guessed, everyone who's invited has scars, most - but not all - on their faces. There are some borderline cases in there - is Picard scarred as a Borg? - but I did my best.
I am impressed both by how quickly the Board homed in on this - even those who didn't get it were clearly in the right ballpark (though Novastorme, I'm curious who you thought made just 'scarred' impossible; you kept trying to tack things onto it). I'm also impressed by how many people replied. I guess you are all still here after all... ;)
Also: I have never spent so long trying to find scarred characters I'd heard of. Yikes.

I'm going to be horribly embarrassed by my awful memory when you tell me, I'm sure. ^_^; ... Unless, Silmarils? (Is that vague enough to not be spoilery? I dunno. Maybe it's okay at this point anyway.)
My guess was something like "transformative near-death experiences." Except then Gandalf would definitely fit.
We should totally invite Frodo, though. Sam, too, I think. Maybe all the hobbits?

If her eye went, there'd still be scars - the art style just isn't good at depicting them. Yes, she has a bionic eye now, but the operation to put it in would also leave scars.
