In their second lightsaber duel in Obi-Wan Kenobi “Part VI,” Ben Kenobi similarly cuts open Darth Vader's mask, revealing the scarred face of Anakin Skywalker who, as Darth Vader, claims responsibility for Skywalker's “death.” While the moment is a close recreation of Vader's duel with Ahsoka in
The duel between Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) and Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) in the finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi climaxes with the latter dealing a devastating blow. The lightsaber strike carves open the left side of Vader's helmet, revealing half of Anakin Skywalker's scarred face.
To escape the armor's claustrophobic nature, Vader had several pressurized meditation chambers built where he could remove his mask and suit and still survive.
Darth Vader cannot survive without his mask. As Luke Skywalker replies when Vader asked for help in taking off his mask in Return of the Jedi, “But you'll die.” And when Vader is dead, he cannot fight. In short, the dark side.
In the course of this, Obi-Wan slices off part of Vader's mask, revealing the disfigured face of Anakin to allow for an emotional tête-a-tete between the former friends (with Christensen's voice mixing with the modulated tones of Vader voice actor James Earl Jones).
Admiral Ozzel : [appearing onscreen with Captain Piett] Lord Vader, the fleet has moved out of lightspeed and we're preparing to... Darth Vader : You have failed me for the last time, Admiral! Captain Piett?
Originally Answered: Why was Darth Bader's suit designed to cause pain? Two main reasons: It kept Vader strong with the Dark Side. The constant pain meant that Vader had to continuously draw on the Dark to keep the everlasting agony at bay.
Lord Vader was able to chew food, which he could consume while in his meditation chamber. While in the chamber, Vader could remove his helmet and consume regular food, which he preferred. Consuming food orally was the way he preferred eating.
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.
Eventually, he lost both his legs and his remaining arm in the climactic duel on Mustafar between both he and Obi-Wan. As Vader, he had each limb replaced with cybernetic parts, but would lose his robotic right arm one last time when Luke Skywalker faced his father in Return of the Jedi.
Kylo Ren keeps the charred skull of Darth Vader in his quarters, along with (so we're assured by the internet) the ashes of his victims.
During the First Battle of Geonosis, the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus severed Padawan Anakin Skywalker's right arm in a lightsaber duel.
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.
Dark Vader cannot breathe without his mask because his mask is connected to a life support system. His famous black armor suit covers this life-sustaining system.
The armor's boots featured magnetic clamps, which could magnetically adhere the suit to a metallic surface. He weighed 120 kilograms in his armor, and was 2.03 meters tall in it. The armor also featured a remote to prep Vader's interceptor for combat.
It turns out that the whole process was 8 hours long, and Vader was kept awake for all of it. This was decided by Sidious so Vader could feel every ounce of pain in order to make him angrier and stronger. Many of his bones had to be replaced by durasteel. As for his organs, many were also synthetic.
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.
Conference with Darth Vader
Vader Force chokes Motti for his lack of faith. By 0 BBY, Motti served as Admiral of the Navy, and held the position of Chief of the Imperial Navy.
Rootleaf stew was a favorite meal of Jedi Master Yoda during his exile on Dagobah. It was a staple of his diet, supplemented by yarum seeds, mushroom spores, galla seeds, and sohli bark. Yoda prepared rootleaf stew the evening that he met Luke Skywalker.
It explored the many punishments that Darth Sidious handed down to Vader, as he tortured his mind and body.
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 Is Surprisingly Itchy
Darth Vader's suit includes a layer of artificial skin that constantly itches to the point that it drives him insane and makes it difficult to sleep. To deal with the unbearable itch, he has to have it scrubbed by droids frequently.
The armor gets hot and sweaty, but its sensitive temperature regulation system controlled by a function box on the belt take care of that problem.
Vader's presence struck fear into almost everyone he came across, and a large part of that was due to his strength. His first kill in the franchise was when he held Captain Antilles, choking him on the Tantive IV in A New Hope. Strangulation, and more specifically the Force choke, became a go-to move for the Dark Lord.
