Infil'a put up a fierce fight against Vader, almost killing him by throwing the already damaged Sith Lord off of a cliff. Despite severe damage to his suit, Vader survived the fall, and repaired himself with parts from Infil'a's droid, Arex.
Depends on the Jedi. Top-tier Jedi and some Jedi with specific advantages against Vader (OT Luke, Obi-Wan) could beat him by themselves. Some of the more powerful councilors could take him in groups of 2–4.
While Luke was defending himself, Vader could've easily unleashed his full strength and cut him down, but his main goal was to slowly poke at his son. Yet once he spoke of Leia, the provocation worked too well, and Luke fought back with all his anger, taking Vader completely by surprise.
Yoda will most likely win in a fight against Darth Vader because he is more skilled with a lightsaber and has the experience and feats that allow him to trim whatever size and strength advantage Darth Vader has over him. In fact, Yoda nearly defeated Palpatine, something that Vader could never do.
Darth Sidious
In the end, Vader managed to fulfill the prophecy tied to him. As for Darth Sidious, he's by far the most dangerous enemy Vader has had.
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.
1. Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. Sure, it may be the most obvious rivalry in the galaxy, but the dark-side rift between Darth Vader and his son Luke is also the most iconic in Star Wars history.
1 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.
1 Darth Sidious
As well as being a gifted bladesman Sidious' connection to the Dark Side is extremely powerful, granting Sidious the ability to conduct force lightning.
Kylo and Rey (Daisy Ridley) also blasted the Imperial Crusier open trying to Force pull the Lightsaber away from each other, so clearly, Kylo Ren is an extremely strong Force-wielder. Nonetheless, it can be said that Darth Vader is the more powerful master of the Force for one key reason: his temperament.
Late Vaders total strength is a balance of variables. Age, his suit and his de-limbing lower his strength, but obviously his pain, anger and hate connect him to the dark side and make him more powerful.
This time, it appears that Vader is finally acknowledging he could best the Sith who trained him. In retrospect, it causes his iconic redemption moment during Return of the Jedi to have some new context, since he was aware that he was the only person in the galaxy who could defeat his master.
Published Oct 22, 2022. Jedi like Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi have long stood as light against the darkness. But the record Sith-killer is actually Darth Bane himself. Darth Bane, founder of the Rule of Two, killed more Sith than any Jedi in the history of the Star Wars galaxy.
As Darth Vader, Skywalker was believed to have had roughly eight-tenths of the strength of the Emperor. Nevertheless, Vader wielded tremendous power and skill, enough to use the Force to overpower almost any opponent he could not defeat with his lightsaber.
It's a very common misconception. Darth Vader's “official” position was that of Imperial Enforcer. In terms of rank, practically everyone outranked him. However, his position came with a number of perks that allowed him to operate both within and outside of the Empire's regulations or militaristic chain of command.
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%.
As the first Dark Lord of the Sith, Ajunta Pall founded the first Sith Empire and expanded it onto other worlds. The Sith took over the planet Ziost and created it as their capital and as Pall's new home.
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.
Within the Star Wars Legends continuity, Yoda's Jedi instructor was N'Kata Del Gormo, a Hysalrian Jedi Master, according to an in-universe legend.
It's very difficult doing direct damage to Darth Vader. He'll block all of your attacks, and he has a very large stun gauge. Simply attacking won't be enough to break his stun. You'll need to parry his attacks, which deals a ton of damage to his stun gauge.
Out of all of the Jedi Masters in the storyline of Star Wars, the only character that defeated Vader decisively multiple times was Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was never the strongest Jedi regarding his combat prowess and Force powers, but he had the patience, discipline, and wisdom of a true Jedi Master.
At its inception, the title and position was granted to Darth Vader. It seems that in this capacity, Vader's powers were those of Commander-in-Chief of all Imperial forces, answering only to Emperor Palpatine.
“Star Wars” creator George Lucas recalled this week that he had two actors in mind for the voice of Darth Vader when he created the '70s sensation — James Earl Jones and Orson Welles. “I created a villain . . .
