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.
Even after his brutal scorching in the fires of Mustafar, sand remained the only natural phenomenon that Vader feared. To him, sand was a reminder that he'd failed to save his mother or Padme from death.
In Star Wars Legends and Canon, Galen Marek (Starkiller) is the only Jedi (other than Obi-Wan Kenobi) to put a beat down on Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker.
Weakness: Electricity
Darth Vader possessed the skill to use Force lightning, but the limitations of his suit prevented this. A lot of the systems that were keeping Darth Vader alive were maintained by electricity, which is why Force lightning was so destructive towards him.
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.
Darth Vader's Insecurities are His Biggest Weaknesses
In the end, virtually all who have made the attempt to use Vader's cybernetic nature against him have ended up dead or defeated. The elite few who have had the upper hand, even before his conversion to mechanical monstrosity, have done so by dominating him mentally.
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.
The shoulder armor itself weighed 12.2 kg overall, was resistant to both blasters and energy blades, and was capable of withstanding hits from both weapon types with only minor surface pitting.
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.
It appeared that Darth Vader was more machine than we thought. 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.
Vader, the only power who overrules him is papa Palpatine. The reason why Vader obeyed tarkin was out of a sense of respect for him as a military leader, not as his superior.
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.
Darth Vader is technically unbeatable and will walk away from the arena as soon as Cere turns off her lightsaber. Cere will then lose her balance and fall to the ground but be saved by Cal in Star Wars Jedi Survivor.
Palpatine admits to Darth Vader that the Jedi he actually feared most was none other than Jocasta Nu. "Who?" I hear a lot of you of ask. Well, I'm sure most will recall hearing the name at some point. Now that you remember her, let's actually explain who she was.
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.
Because his body had been severely burned on Mustafar, Darth Vader was thought to have lost much of his Force potential, although he nonetheless retained an incredibly high midi-chlorian count. As Darth Vader, Skywalker was believed to have had roughly eight-tenths of the strength of the Emperor.

Grandmaster Yoda himself was capable of summoning force lightning in the form of Emerald Lightning. Galen Marek was an extremely skilled user of this Force power, even after his conversion to the light side, rivaling Darth Sidious.
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.
Vader's suit is unbearably itchy. He also has needles stuck in him all the time. The Dark Lord has claustrophobia due to his suit. The iconic "I am your father" line was initially kept secret, even from the actors.
If he were to take his mask off, the Sith Lord would soon suffocate. So it's the most crucial part of his armor. He can only breathe without the need for his mask when he is in one of his meditation chambers seen in The Empire Strikes Back.
In the duel, Anakin lost both of his legs, his one remaining organic arm, and suffered (possibly up to) fourth-degree burns across what was left of his body that were severe enough to damage his internal organs.
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.
Vader died defending his son, killing Darth Sidious and fulfilling his destiny as the Chosen One.
Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience. He won pretty handily as well, as he was victorious in 89,756 of his 95,243 battles and had a win percentage of 94.2%.
