do you think George Lucas hates Darth Vader

Mr. Lucas changes his mind periodically. He also gave the figure for Vader having eight-tenths of Palpatine's power in the Force. And while one could squeeze in there that perhaps he meant for Palpatine to be just another Tom, Dick, and Palpy as regards the Force, he also gave the statement that "Only Mace and Yoda can compete [with Sidious]," which is an accolade I'd personally reserve for a pretty badass figure.

The idea that Lucas had a comprehensive, established plan that was flawlessly executed is a total and utter myth.

What are you talking about, exactly? I was responding to this:

i bet if they had a bigger budget and they knew as much about the star wars universe as they do now (a lot has happened since the first 3.........). then Vader would have been shown to be far more powerful and would have done far bigger feats in the OT....lol

Btw, saying Lucas "changes his mind periodically" doesn't hold any value especially if you don't know what he changes his mind on.

Other than Dark Empire, we don't know what he changes his mind on directly, but we do know these ridiculous retcons at some point are approved by Lucas.

It was actually pretty simple to understand, but...

Darth Vader isn't supposed to be all powerful. He is a psychologically tormented shell of his former self. I don't think Lucas had any other intentions for Vader being "powerful" given that he outright calls him a "crippled half droid who isn't a real Jedi". "Jedi" being used in the sense of a warrior.

^ You said this. You said that you didn't think Lucas "had any other intentions for Vader being powerful." I'm telling you that that's wrong; Lucas gave us the figure of Vader having 80% of Palpatine's power, the same guy whom he says only Yoda and Mace can compete with.

He did have other intentions and they are changing depending on the dosage of medication and what he has for dinner.

I'm also telling you that the idea that he had a pre-established plan for anything regarding Star Wars is a myth. Vader included.

Btw, saying Lucas "changes his mind periodically" doesn't hold any value especially if you don't know what he changes his mind on.

Btw, saying "saying Lucas changes his mind periodically doesn't hold any value especially if you don't know what he changes his mind on" doesn't hold any value when there is this lovely guide to what he changed his mind on called the Secret History of Star Wars.

Check it out sometime.

Obviously irrelevant for the area- closed.
