Vaders Force powers are nowhere near as potent in the films as they were in the EU from what I remember comparing the two. Without that TK he gets eaten.
Although there's a chance Vader cuts him up with his lightsaber.
Saber throw -- Return of the Jedi, his fight with Luke.
Well, what stops him from throwing it so it pierces I Rex's skull with the pointy end?
Vader needs about a second to do so tbh and unless the distance between him and I Rex is like 5 feet, he's going to pull that off.
Also, lightsabers cut through everything in the movies.
I don't think Vader's saber is anywhere near large enough to pierce the I-Rex's head and get a guaranteed kill shot, and once it knows the glow hurts, it'll be more careful about avoiding it if Vader tries to throw it again. When the I-Rex goes to chomp down on Vader is where it ends. I expect he could easily sever the lower jaw, or get a more accurate brain hit at that point.
The location doesn't help the I-Rex at all, either. It can't even utilize its camo effectively.

Not everything, ep 1 there were those...I dunno laser barricades between Maul, Qui Gon and Obi Wan, Maul tried to use his sabre on it and it did nothing
I also wanna throw in ESB when Luke hit Vader on the arm and it sparked but didn't do anything, but I dunno if Luke swung and didn't carry through
