Was Darth Vader an evil genius?

YES!!! the force was strong with him since he was a child (in other words the force was stronger in him than his son luke) and dont forget on the second movie (he knew that was the rebel base when his commanders said it wasn't) and when he was a kid he built his own Race pod by himself!!! and it was the fastest one as well!!! and his genius charms scored him the love of the princess? yes he was genius bc even at the end he saw that killing his evil master was the right thing to do and letting the rebels win.
