so is luke slow canonically? then what about crimson empire? vader was fast, RODV proved that even with his injuries he was fast, not as fast as his predecessor anakin
if he is so slow then how did he carve through an army of wookies, each which could rip him apart, even in vader the ultimate guide, there was a pic of him fighting some dude using jar kai style, if he is really slow he would have died, rodv even mentioned that he fought 2 on 1 match with jedi knights

TPM dvd2?, the fights made 30 years ago? the EU to help vaders speed? there you go, i am getting sick and tired of people saying vader is slow, how is he suppose to activate the shien form if he is really that slow, prove it to me, this is unfair towards vader, people judge him in the movies, and RODV PROVED he was fast
Luke, Vader, Obi-Wan, all slow. Vader: the suit. Obi-Wan: age. Luke: not enough training. None of them can do the fancy leaps and stuff, with the exception of Obi-Wan who may have learned how to use the Force to overcome age and injuries for a short time.

and? what about the EU? and the guide book called vader: the ultimate guide? which shows vader taking on a jedi who is using jar kai? if he was really that slow he would have died, and luke not enough training? hell luke mirrored vaders form V agaisnt him, and people want to call it sloppish because of the way the movie was made?
if the OT was made today the fights would have been as good as ROTS
o and age?? yoda was 900 years old, palpatine is like wtf 60-70 years old and he is still fast, like the OT fans keep saying, it was the way the movie was made, the EU HELPS vader, vader vs dark women, RODV PROVED vader was fast, clone wars vol 9 even proved vader killing 3 jedi masters in one swift stroke to each of them, in RODV vader carves through an army of wookies

vol 9 the 1 with vader on the cover page came out a while ago.
are you sure? dooku was 80 yrs old and still he is fast, well maybe they used the force to speed them up because they are jedi and sith, but honestly in the EU vader is fast, esp crimson empires flash back, when he fought with a double bladed vibro sword

not so sure, but you could just goto a comic shop.
i think it would be fair to judge vader by the things he did in the EU. alot of people in the real world underrate him and underestiate him, sidious was slower than yoda and yet it was a draw, the same is with anakin and vader
I like the Dark Lord book explanations as to why he is slowed down. Every detail about his suit makes perfect sense after considering it, in contrast to the comics that have him doing all sorts of acrobatics that would be impossible in his suit. He needs the Force to pretty much walk properly because the mech legs are shit, he cant raise is arms high thereby restricting his fighting techniques, and his armor is overweighted. He's slow as hell.
