Should be the exact opposite. Vader is the black knight while Palpatine is the sorcerer.
I could get behind this...Sidious should be above sabers anyway, I mean realistically if you have the ability to TK someone or spout out lighting from your fingertips or scramble their brain with TP.
What is exactly the point of having a melee weapon? By comparison to all that, it makes the weapon pointless.
Although one thing, did it ever occur to anyone that Vader should obviously be stronger and faster due to his cybernetic limbs?
I mean take example Grevious, the guy has shown some clear super strength and showing impressive speed.
Yet Vader....can't because.....why?
Logically wouldn't having cybernetic limbs, grant someone with a degree of super strength or speed? There would be no muscles to tire out and in fact the cybernetics could push past the limitations of what legs and arms could do.
Originally posted by Darth ThorNot at all. Vader's durability hasn't changed nor have his canon fights in real time. Despite all the high fives look at Vader vs. Luke or Vader vs. Kanan and Ezra. His portrayal isn't what Khan's is despite more feats against fodder.
Yes but can either Ahsoka or Vader solo 1 Khan? Hmm..

So you think Palpatine should have greater TK than what Vader's showing?
I think they should be equal in that regard, or maybe a slight edge to Palps.
But this is really just because...what else can Vader do exactly?
He can't do Lighting.
I don't see him doing Sorcery.
I never took him as a telepathy person, though this is also another area I could see him excelling in.
So all that's left for him really, is TK and swordsmanship to really push. That and I guess Force augmentation, but the suit should also help his physicals imo.
At best if not that, then his TK should be the most controlled out of pretty much everyone considering this is all he has to work with for the majority. There can't be any reason his TK control wouldn't be above most if not everyone, since that would be his sole focus.
