The point of the "prime" was to signify the difference between this Vader and movie Vader, not that he won't improve any more than S2 EP1. And he's not doing anything that godlike in the comics either. His AT-AT feat was great, but everything since then was meh or below-average. The Darth Vader we saw in the novel, while great, isn't really what you should be expecting on TV. In the old EU, Kanan and Ezra would have ran laps around Vader, disarmed him, ragdolled him, killed him, resurrected his corpse, and then took a giant dump on his helmet.Just be grateful we have a badass Vader [b]consistent
to the movies, if not even stronger. Don't expect a god though... that's silly and untrue to the character. [/B]
Considering that Anakin was good enough in TCW, and as of Season 4, to perform feats like this:
And then proceed to become vastly more powerful after season 5, and improve even more as of Lots after becoming a Sith, I think it's legitimate to expect more. Of course this is not to say that he should necessarily be some kind of god.
Not that I'm actually disappointed. So far, Vader did very well, especially considering that he was either distracted or toying with Ezra and Kanan, so I don't understand why people here are complaining.
He destroyed the whole structure, causing that massive planetary scanner to collapse. And it didn't take that much to perform the feat, not to mention this was done in underwater pressure. So I'd say it's quite impressive.
Then there are other feats like ragdolling Ventress and Barriss,, which would put him on a comparable level with Dooku by this time.
As someone who's not afraid of criticizing Rebels, I don't see what the issue is that some of you have with the duel. It was plain as day that Vader was holding back. The only time he was remotely in any danger was when they pushed him into the path of the toppling walkers. And we saw how casually and confidently he dealt with that.
Even more impressive is his singlehanded stomping of the rebel fleet.
I still say Vader should not have been brought in the series this soon {if at all}, but he was portrayed very effectively here.

Oh, and it seemed he knocked Ahsoka out when she mentally contacted him. Either that or she is a dainty women who swoons and faints.

Also it took him a long time to do it and wouldn't underwater pressure make it easier? 😕
That being said, Anakin only needing to break one bar does make sense. The other bars can't handle the pressure of the entire structure and the water around it.
"He slowly approaches the Jedi, towering over them. As they fight, he's impossibly strong, dueling with ease and tossing the Jedi and Padawan aside as if they were weightless.
The duel continues. Vader stops Kanan's strike and throws the Jedi across the hangar, dazing him. The Sith Lord uses the opportunity to finish Ezra. He Force lifts the Padawan and pins him, slowly bringing Ezra's own lightsaber blade toward his throat. Kanan recovers in time to stop the Sith, however. But he's no match for Vader, who tags the Jedi's shoulder. Before Vader can destroy Kanan and Ezra, however, there's an explosion. Sabine has toppled a walker, and the Jedi Force push Vader beneath it as it falls.
Vader rises."

👆 Even if he wasn't holding back, we don't really know exactly how Kanan or the Inquisitor stack up to higher-tier Jedi.
Either way, Vader's a monster in this show.

Plus, he even says that she isn't completely ****ed from the get-go because she is familiar with how he fights, versus the Jedi Vader would usually encounter would have no clue how to fight someone like him.
That would also lend credit to the idea that Kenobi always had a natural advantage against Vader.
