vaders speed

movies higher canon correct? didnt we see boba die in the movies? and he comes back in DE?

samething with vader

i mean like we assume boba dies after we see him fall into the sarlaccs mouth right? We also are assuming that vader is slow in ANH

anyways thats all, im not gonna argue and i dont want to be called a troll and get banned

Boba IS dead in the movies.

Remember, the EU is a separate continuity, as GL has also made clear.

Did Lucas actually claim that Boba died, because otherwise technically we never see him die, just fall into the Sarlacc, and the EU doesn't contradict this.

yes he did say that Boba is dead. I believe in the ROTJ SE commentary.

Oh right, well there you go.

lets let this thread die anyways.

Curious is EU vader considered better than OT vader? cuz in the EU he pulls out alot of sh!t

Yeah he is.

In the movies we see slow, asthmatic, slightly sentimental Vader (Rotj).

In the books we the ruthless, kill 7 Jedi Masters by himself, Vader.

And not to forget he ripped apart the blast door leading to the 7 jedi masters, tore metal from metal

The true reason why Darth Vader is slower in the Classic Trilogy compared to the Prequel Trilogy is because of Vader's rebuilt body armor, helmet and mask weigh alot. Vader was critically wounded from Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith on Mustafar. You need to remember Vader almost died on Mustafar. His lungs were damged after being set on fire. Cut limb from limb from leg to right arm. Vader can't run or use force speed in the Classic Trilogy because if he does it would kill him number 1, because of his chest plate and breathing apperatus keeps him alive. Number 2, His cybernetic suit carries alot of weight. Vader can't do flips or run very fast with 200 pounds of metal and implants built in his body.

Actually vader has demonstrated to be speedy in the EU and from what gideon has said which he read from leland chee. EU speeds do not contradict movie speeds.

Btw thanks for bumping a long dead thread

You are quite persistent, did you know that?

I'm sorry but why are people calling Vader and Luke slow? Despite the fact that they actually move about as fast as Mace and Palpatine did.

YouTube video

Compare the two yourself.

Heck the only real reason people consider Vader and Luke slow is because they didn't do all those pointless flips and turns.

YouTube video

The two even move faster in Episode VI.

yea look at the first video, they're so fast the sound cant even keep up!!

Vader is slow because of the weight of his body suit, remember he was rebuilt in ROTS with metal implants and cybernetic bionic parts. The weight of his body suit procrastinates his movement.

Wasn't GG like that too? Hmmm. Also his legs, ya know the body parts that support weight, are mechanical as well. Add in his force abilities which aid in speed, strength, and agility, and Vader can move around with the best of them.

Yea, he is known across the universe as a great dancer, he is especially good at the robot.
