In the process, the Emperor enhanced his apprentice's abilities as he earned back his spot in the Empire. Growing in his power, Vader's confidence that he can kill his master gives him a new perspective. “You can destroy the Emperor.
In the Star Wars canon, Emperor Palpatine is generally considered to be more powerful than Darth Vader in terms of their Force abilities. Palpatine was one of the most powerful Sith Lords in the history of the galaxy and had immense control over the dark side of the Force.
The reason Vader never successfully overthrew the Emperor wasn't from lack of ambition, but more from a lack of allies. Even in Revenge Of The Sith Anakin planned to surpass Palpatine by telling Padme that they could overthrow the Chancellor and rule the galaxy together.
Probably not. At the time, Palpatine and Vader were the two most powerful Siths. The only Jedi that could stand up to them were Obi-Wan Kenobi (he sacrificed himself on the Death Star I), Yoda (continued to conceal himself from the Sith and the Force), Luke Skywalker, and in Cannon and Expanded Universe, Leia.
He could perform incredibly powerful Force Pushes and Grips, and was capable of breaking through the defenses of Force-Sensitive individuals. Vader was also adept at saber throw, which he would often utilize in combat to make up for his relative lack of mobility.
Star Wars creator George Lucas has stated that the reason Palpatine couldn't anticipate Vader's betrayal in Return of the Jedi was that he can't truly understand the concept of love.
Palpatine Always Hated Lightsabers
He believed that the Jedi's lightsabers, created as the order's primary weapon, clouded their vision and blinded them to the fact that everything around them is a weapon through the Force, and that the Jedi put too much stock in lightsabers.
Vader used his pain and anger to fuel his Dark Side powers, becoming one of the most powerful Sith ever and perhaps the most feared. He was the enforcer of the Empire, using his red lightsaber and black armor to strike fear into his enemies, becoming an instrument of terror to fight the Rebels.
Darth Sidious was always stronger than Vader, which is why he ruled over him for almost 20 years and turned him into the Sith Lord he was.
1 Darth Sidious
There has been no Sith, as powerful, meticulous, nor as evil as the Emperor himself, Darth Sidious. As previously mentioned, Sidious trained in the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis before Sidious killed Plagueis in his sleep, making Sidious a Sith Master.
Aside from agility and telekinesis, Yoda could absorb and redirect Force attacks, like lightning. Because of his higher understanding, he would easily overcome Darth Vader in a fight, though that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a difficult battle.
In the end, Thanos' neck is only as strong as his skin. Even if his lightsaber can't cut through Thanos' invulnerable skin, Darth Vader can still Force choke the Mad Titan and prevail.
We would have to give the victory to Darth Vader. While the two dark lords seem perfectly matched on their villainy and power, Darth Vader's lightsaber and ability to immediately use the force to choke Voldemort, without chanting any spell would end this showdown in seconds.
Regardless, Vader reported to Tarkin as Tarkin officially outranked him, as designed by the Emperor to limit his power within the Empire.
Introduced in the first film in the original Star Wars trilogy, Governor Tarkin is the Grand Moff of the Galactic Empire and commander of the Death Star.
Jaina became the foremost Sith killer not named Luke Skywalker, killing her brother Darth Caedus and many members of the Lost Tribe of the Sith during their attack on Coruscant. Vader was formidable but Jaina would be able to overcome him.
Vader, obviously. Darth Maul may be superior physically (what with the having 4 limbs and all), but Vader has mastered the dark side of the force. Also Obi Wan defeated Darth Maul, and Vader defeated Obi Wan.
As Supreme Commander, Darth Vader was the ranking leader of the Imperial Military.
Vader relies on the complex life support system of his suit to survive and it happens to be very vulnerable to electrical discharges. So, if Vader ever had unleashed Force lightning, there's a good chance it would've caused his suit to short circuit, thus, killing him.
Yes he did. Vader followed Emperor Palpatine's advice on how to save his wife, betrayed everything he stood for, and lost everything he cared about including his wife.
Before canon it was stated in "Legends". That he was in constant pain, the suit was uncomfortable and purposefully so, since Palpatine never wanted Vader to reach his full potential.
If Qui-Gon had survived his fight against Darth Maul, he would have sensed Palpatine's evil, and Anakin wouldn't have become Darth Vader. Thus, while Qui-Gon was less powerful than Yoda, Palpatine feared him more.
We go for the more simple answer, further considering the details of the question itself. If Anakin didn't go into that chamber as the Jedi confronted Palpatine, then Mace Windu would have defeated Palpatine, killing him. If you remember, Mace had him. He was ready to kill him.
Darth Plagueis is mentioned in Rae Carson's novelization of the 2019 film The Rise of Skywalker. In the book, it is revealed that Palpatine had discovered Plagueis' "secret to immortality", using this knowledge to resurrect himself after his death in Return of the Jedi.
This is an easy one. There's not a person in the Star Wars lore that can beat the Hulk. You could throw every Sith Lord and beings with the force his way and they'd all lose. One by one or all at once, the Hulk would beat them all.
