Or is the trauma—or the love—he feels for Padmé so overwhelming that he simply can't? The comics show that he doesn't care about love and the like, but his self-loathing and damaged self-image are so severe that he doesn't even want it; perhaps things would have been different if he still had Anakin's body?

I find myself wondering what it would be like if this were the first time seeing the character in live-action, instead of that adult version—who is boring, expressionless, and completely charmless.

I often see the Bane-line Sith "glazing" over the ancient Sith. Yes, I get that Sith are all arrogant jerks, but even so—some of them do respect the power and knowledge of their brethren.

I used the leftover gems as fodder to upgrade my other gems.

I held onto the 3/5 and 5/5 Bile gems because I didn't know what to do with them. I asked for advice in chat, and people said it needs to be very high power-rank to be useful, so I won't be using it now or in the near future.

Well, someone suggested I do the following:

- Use the 3/5 Bile to upgrade the 5/5 Bile.

- Extract the power from that upgraded Bile.

- Use the extracted materials to upgrade other gems.

- If I get another copy of the Bile, awaken the Bile.

- Extract the Bile again and repeat the cycle.

Is this the best way to go about it?

He has aura but lacks charisma.

All of their Gen 0 friendships feel extremely forced and exist solely because of the script.

He’s a shitty father.

And he has the worst fighting style in the series—the most tedious to watch and the most predictable.

Punch with conviction — I won.

Punch with conviction — I didn't win — hard punch with *more* conviction — I won.

The character with the most hype—touted by everyone as the strongest—turns out to be that?

I hope PTJ improves him, but I find it unlikely.

​

Consider a scenario where Obi-Wan severs three of Vader's limbs and leaves for some reason—whether because he sensed Sidious's presence or to attend to Padmé.

Even without the burns, Vader—missing three limbs and left incapacitated on a planet with potent toxic gases—would likely face serious complications, depending on the duration of exposure (or the demands of the plot).

I finally managed to craft my first Ancient item and got a good primary weapon through Vanguard.

Note: Exclude the Mortis arc and feats, as that was a one-off, isolated event.

Note 2: It also considers his version from when he was Darth Vader.

Probably one of the stupidest ideas I've ever read—imagine a Battlefield without spread (cough, cough, BF2042, cough).

I made several mistakes I didn't know about, wasted a lot of time focusing on 2 different characters, changed classes 3 times, but I learned a lot from the game, I'm satisfied with the progress.

I always thought Vader was meant to be considered the villain, a monster, a genocidal maniac, and that he was saved/redeemed by his son. But it wasn't that "forced redemption"; Vader didn't care about the Rebellion or democracy, Sith or Jedi, he only wanted to save the last vestige of Padmé and himself.

​

The message and the Vader-Luke relationship are short, beautiful, tragic, dramatic, and impactful. Luke is meant to be the only remaining vestige of humanity, and he carries internal emotional conflicts because of Vader.

​

However, in every story they create, whether comics, novels, series, etc., they always portray Vader as "oh my god, he's in conflict because he's fighting with the people he loved," all the time.

​

I'll give some examples: Vader was in conflict with Ahsoka in Rebels, even though there were justifications for it, it shouldn't have happened. He had already been on the dark side for years, lost everything, and is still conflicted over a padawan who was with him for 3 years.

​

Another example: Vader was in conflict – again – with Obi-Wan in the Kenobi series. The guy ripped off his limbs, left him to burn in lava, and after 10 years, he's still in conflict? WTF

​

The image in the post is from one of Vader's comic book series, where he meets one of Padmé's handmaidens, and because she looks extremely similar to her, Vader becomes conflicted and very emotional.

​

But you might argue: "but the symbolism of the mask, where Ahsoka and Obi-Wan take their faces off and Luke takes his off completely, is incredible." Yes, it is, but it's unnecessary. If several people can bring emotion to Vader, it takes the weight off Luke in a way.

​

It's like Yoda saying Luke is the last Jedi, but in reality there are 50 more, only changed to "he's the only Jedi who can defeat Vader and the Emperor," the message loses its strength and urgency.

​

Vader, for me, is meant to be 100% non-conflictive until Luke appears, then conflicts begin. For Vader, Ahsoka is guilty, Obi-Wan is guilty, Padmé is guilty, but Luke isn't. He wasn't born at that time in Anakin's life; he's just a boy who wants to save his father.
