This means that Vader has multiple suits. He just chooses not to change it, because doing so might remove Vader from his private cloister of brooding and meditation. This connection to the Dark Side, and not the physical armor he wears, makes Vader one of the most dangerous threats in the galaxy.
He is out of his suit either healing or maintaining his body. His suits-I'm sure he has more than one of them, are cumbersome and uncomfortable if not painful to wear but they keep him alive and allow him to function.
systems the issue came when the prospect of actually moving vader into the new suit cropped up there was a new suit built and ready for vader to enter. however he may actually die if he switched over with all the wires. and systems that kept vader alive there was a high risk of death during the operation.
But Palpatine also knew that, like any good Sith, Vader may one day try to usurp him. This informs his decision to give Vader obsolete tech for his suit. A cheap move perhaps, considering the technology keeping Vader alive is technically older than anything used during the Clone Wars by a decade, but an effective one.
Vader loses his hate, his anger and thus much of his compensatory connection to the force. So he can't compete against a strong opponent the way he would otherwise in the final fight.
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. Galen was secretly trained as a Sith Lord apprentice to Vader, but returned to the light side and the Jedi.
Over the years since the Youngling massacre, and even sometime before, Darth Vader has regretted killing the Younglings, recognizing that it was the most terrible thing he had ever done.
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.
Darth Vader's armor, also known as Darth Vader's suit, was a suit of armor worn by the cyborg Sith Lord Darth Vader. Designed with life support technology, the armor ensured Vader's survival following the lightsaber and burn injuries that he sustained in a duel with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar.
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.
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.
Yes, he did. He regretted it everyday. But he had no choice.
And while the suit did keep him alive, it also hindered Vader's abilities and potential as a Force-user. But unknown to Palpatine, this decision would result in his demise. Darth Vader was still undoubtedly powerful, and the suit made him more intimidating than Anakin could ever be. But the suit also limited his power.
Vader's suit took care of most of his need, which also included food. The suit feed Vader nutrients, which gave him the energy he needed to continue throughout his days. He also consumed RepMed vita paste through a straw, which was located within the grills of his mask.
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.
The majority of Anakin's/Vader's body suffered a rather fiery engulfment after his battle with Obi-Wan on the Mustafar system. It left him nothing more than a limbless charred torso on the edge of a lava bank, only to be stuffed into an uncomfortable suit to torment him for the rest of his life.
Yes. Triple amputation plus serious burns. That sounds a lot like what real life people have faced after explosions or anything else regarding fire. However, most people don't survive if their lungs were damaged beyond repair, which Vader's were, and that is a bit of a sticking point.
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.
Force healing in current canon is a selfless act (because you have to use your own life force to heal another). This is the antithesis of all sith teachings, so a sith would never willingly do this. Also, Anakin was missing limbs. You can't force heal those back as far as we know.
Palpatine's misunderstanding of love cost him the Battle of Endor. First, it was with Luke but then he completely underestimated Vader's love for his son.
Darth Vader : You have failed me for the last time, Admiral! Captain Piett? Captain Piett : Yes, my lord? Darth Vader : Make ready to land our troops beyond their energy field, and deploy the fleet, so that nothing gets off the system.
