ROTS Count Dooku vs ESB Darth Vader

Well i just read the little fight between vader and galen in the TFU comic, it seems there wasn't any ownage on either side and that starkiller collapsed a massive pillar on vader which breaks his helmet, vader was merely kneeling after getting knocked off guard.

Whats interesting is that after vader got knocked down, he actually affirmed starkiller and called him a dark side master.

The fights depicted in the comic are much more realistic than the game and not so "DBZ apeshit l33t pwnage" and the apprentice isn't THAT overpowered from what i have seen.

Heres the vader vs starkiller duel, its relatively short yet believable and realistic, both of them got a chance to kick the shit out of each other.

The comic shows them striking each other three times. Starkiller lands the first blow across Vader's chest, Vader hurls him through a glass barrier, Starkiller collapses pillars on top of him. Advantage: Starkiller. Is Vader helpless at this point? Hardly, not nearly as much as the novelization depicts. But he did lose the engagement and he was damaged.

Dooku is finesse and efficiency; Vader is strength and power. But Darth Vader, in Street of Shadows (the new Coruscant Nights book) is able to evade the unimaginably lithe and agile assassin Aurra Sing when she, in a fit of rage, attacks Vader. The omniscient narrator goes on to detail that he is toying with her, never attacking, and keeps his lightsaber at his belt. He dodges and evades her attacks and lightly taps her instead of beating the hell out of her, demonstrating the fact that he could immobilize her at any given time. Moreover, after a while, Vader evades her and uses a casual surge of telekinetic energy to throw her to the floor and keep her there.

It says that the guards out in the hall way are nearly thrown off their feat, even though the concussion wasn't directed near them at all. Also in that book, he uses the Force to summon one of Sing's lightsabers to him, grips it, and overloads the blade through sheer will, leaving it a useless metal hilt. Sing is in awe.

Yeah, Vader's badass.

That's cool on so many levels...I've gotta pick up that book.

And should show that he wouldn't be totally helpless against Makashi's faster style.

And yeah, the comic's version of the fight looks great. Do you have the rest of the comic, by any chance?

I'm like the depiction of an injured Vader with half his mask off.

Isn't he supposed to... like, die if his helmet is broken?

Still, fight looks awesome. And it looks like this just puts Vader up in the food chain (since, well, Galen technically only beat him when the force was involved; the lightsaber duel was apparently even).

In the lightsaber duel Gavin sliced his lite-bright battery in half. 😐

The art reminds me of the Clone Wars-era comics, in Republic and such. Awesome.

The novel made it look like ownage but the comic made vader look more badass.

So in a way, galen actually made vader look like a far more powerful combatant.

but thats part of the advantage of being more machine than man.. if he had no machine parts then that slice would have killed him for sure.
