He also used it in battle to slow the movements of his opponents and to slow enemy blaster shots. Darth Vader used this ability to momentarily contain and slow down the process of a grenade exploding long enough for him to get away from it.
Force Stasis was a more potent version of Force Stun. The Jedi would use the Force to deaden the senses of an enemy, inducing a near-catatonic state and in effect freezing that person or being in place. This power was very useful when the Force-user was stuck in tight spots against a superior number of foes.
By contrast, Vader never froze anyone in place, though it would certainly have been handy for him to do so (such as when Luke shot out of the carbon freezing chamber at the most inconvenient time).
Darth Vader can not use force lighting, because of his severed arms. Robotic hands can't summon the force lighting. However Darth Vader can still use other forms of the force, such as force choke.
Darth Vader used both the Force Choke and Force Crush abilities numerous times throughout his life. He was also capable of using the Force to telekinetically destroy a target's internal organs. Telepathy: The Sith-Lord could use Telepathy, such as when he communicated with his son shortly after their duel on Bespin.
Vader held respect for Tarkin which is clearly shown and the only case in which Tarkin outranked Vader would be the case in which Vader was in the Death Star or within Tarkin's Oversector which he likely was as Tarkin was Grand Moff of the Outer Rim Oversector, the largest one.
1/15 Luke Skywalker
Having faced his father once before, Luke was familiar with his tactics and used the force to gain an upper-hand. In Star Wars Canon, only Luke Skywalker can be acknowledged as the one who truly defeated Darth Vader.
Upon learning that Vader was a servant of the Emperor, the look-alike, who was actually Amidala's former Handmaiden Sabé, fired her blaster at the Sith. Vader deflected the laser with the Force and pulled the blaster out of Sabé's hands.
In a Vanity Fair interview from 2005, George Lucas went deeper into why Anakin became much weaker as Vader. In the interview, he explained that because Anakin's limbs were severed and replaced by robotics, it was harder for him to use the Force than it was before his battle with Obi-Wan.
The Force choke is another tool employed by Sith to intimidate and even kill their opponents. Sith usually visualize the ability with a claw-like or crushing hand gesture, and strangle a victim through the power of the dark side. The result is an often painful, slow death.
By far, Skywalker's most infamous use of it was upon learning of the death of his wife, Padmé Amidala, after his transformation into Darth Vader. This caused him to involuntarily unleash a powerful Force scream of shame, rage, and grief, severely damaging the medical chamber and the droids within it.
Vader had to change his lightsaber style to compensate for the weight, bulk and inflexibility of his armor. The electronics of the suit were sensitive to electrical discharges. Vader later added a limited amount of insulation to the suit after discovering this vulnerability.
According to this Wookieepedia page, Vader's armor is made from fireproof materials such as Durasteel, Plasteel, Armorweave, and Plastoid, and the body glove is expressly described as fireproof. How did Luke cremate a corpse fully encased in fire-retardant armor?
Kylo Ren Learned Force Stasis From the Fermata Cage
As fans learn in both the sequel trilogy films and in the comic series Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren, Kylo was trained by the Knights of Ren before he murdered their leader and became the leader himself.
Force Crush was possibly the darkest Force ability known to both the Sith and the Jedi. It was a more advanced form of the Force Grip ability. This ability lifted the opponent into the air, and as they were floating, their body literally imploded as it was crushed from within by the Force.
Force Slow was a dark side Force power used by Sith and Dark Jedi around 4,000 BBY. Force exhaustion was a variant of the power used by Jedi Guardians during the time of the Cold War and the Galactic War to gradually slow down the movement of enemies.
When he was Anakin, he feared losing the people closest to him, whether it was by distance or death. He did end up losing pretty much everyone close to him, namely Qui-Gon, his mother Shmi, then lastly Padme. It was his fear of never ending loss that drove him to become Vader.
This information comes to light form the comic series Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith by Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli, in particular issue #7. Palpatine admits to Darth Vader that the Jedi he actually feared most was none other than Jocasta Nu.
Luke Skywalker was also capable of creating Force repulses. Darth Vader used this ability to blast dozens of Lyleks on Ryloth.
Armor forged of beskar could withstand blunt force, strikes from a lightsaber, and repeated blasterfire, though the force of the impact still transferred in part to the wearer.
The duel. Darth Vader defeats Darth Maul. The two Sith Lords engaged in a lightsaber duel, going through the volcano and onto a bridge situated over a river of lava, which collapsed, though they both survived and continued their battle.
Obi-Wan Could've Beaten Vader in Star Wars: A New Hope - If He Wanted To. While Obi-Wan Kenobi was frail by the time of Star Wars: A New Hope, he was still stronger with the Force than Vader.
