Vader's vulnerability has hardly been explored on screen, and there was something truly haunting seeing him broken and screaming for his former master. 'Obi-Wan Kenobi's' greatest triumph is that it makes you feel sorry, not just for Anakin, but Darth Vader.
Visions of Obi-Wan. The comic opens during the last moments of Revenge of the Sith, recreating the well-memed instance when a despondent, freshly-armored Vader cries out with a drawling “nooooooo” over how much he's lost.
Why did Anakin cry in Obi-Wan? “The tear [on Anakin's face] says that he knows what he's done, but he has now committed himself to a path that he may not agree with… but he is going to go on anyway. It's the one moment that says he's self-aware that he's rationalizing all his behavior.
Yes, he did. In Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader cried because he realized that the woman he loves, Padme, doesn't “love” Vader, but rather she loves the good person, the hero of the galaxy, Anakin Skywalker. Anakin felt deep guilt, but that guilt was not enough to stop him.
In Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of Disney+'s most recent series of the saga, Darth Vader returned to sound as usual: James Earl Jones is credited in several episodes, but the villain's distinctive voice was rendered by artificial intelligence.
This is the man who brought everything full circle for Vader and, even though the dark lord of the Sith has to fear or respect no one, he clearly offers some level of respect to the feared bounty hunter they call Boba Fett.
Darth Vader is Clearly the More Powerful Force User
Between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan, it's pretty clear that Vader is far more powerful with the force. After all, he pretty easily used the force to stop a starship from taking off in the previous episode, and manhandled Kenobi throughout the majority of the show.
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.
Apparently, he had borderline personality disorder. As he came of age, Skywalker showed problems with impulsivity, violent outburst, illusions of invincibility and crises of identity, all of which are in line with borderline personality disorder diagnosis, the researchers concluded.
Darth Vader's Suit Embeds Needles In His Skin
Inside his suit and mask, Vader has a series of needles in his skin. Unfortunately, these needles, which transmit neurological data throughout his body and allow him to control his limbs, also cause him constant pain.
Vader's vulnerability has hardly been explored on screen, and there was something truly haunting seeing him broken and screaming for his former master. 'Obi-Wan Kenobi's' greatest triumph is that it makes you feel sorry, not just for Anakin, but Darth Vader.
But this epic showdown ended on an incomplete note, with Vader allowing Kenobi to escape with his life as a wall of fire separated the two characters.
In order to hide from the Empire, he needed to keep a low profile. This means that he's not in his best fighting form. Couple that with his wavering faith and he isn't really attuned with the Force, further impeding his fighting skills.
Obi-Wan apologizes for what he did to Anakin, but Vader assures him that he killed Anakin, not Obi-Wan. He then goes on to proclaim that he will destroy Obi-Wan in the same way.
His pride and arrogance consume him as they blind him from the realization that his actions aren't immune to consequence. His self-image of supremacy is instrumental to his crumbling; he cannot tear himself away from believing that there are other points of view besides his own.
The short answer is yes, without a doubt, Vader regretted becoming a cybernetic monstrosity. First, there's the constant pain and discomfort from his suit. Worse, however, is the psychological pain. Vader destroyed everything he had ever known for a chance to save Padme.
His armor could be hacked and controlled by a device. In a turn of events, Darth Vader's right limb holding his dangerous scarlet lightsaber was moving of its own accord toward his neck. This was a dangerous weakness indeed.
May 21, 2007 -- Anakin Skywalker, the Star Wars character who became Darth Vader, had borderline personality disorder, psychiatrists report.
Because he was not an active member of the Jedi Order during Order 66, Infil'a escaped execution. Some time later, he faced the Sith Lord Darth Vader wielding a green lightsaber. Infil'a put up a fierce fight against Vader, almost killing him by throwing the Sith Lord off of a cliff.
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.
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.
Kylo Ren. Is Kylo Ren stronger than Darth Vader? One of the most interesting parts of the Skywalker bloodline is that each generation appears to be more powerful with the Force than the last. Because of this, with enough training, Kylo Ren would surely be able to overpower his grandfather Darth Vader.
