Darth Vader: When is he allowed to struggle?

Still awake unfortunately, and while the adrenaline still pumps within my veins, I wanna ask a question as a writer of stories(original ones) and fan of Vader.

When is Vader allowed to be challenged? When is he allowed to struggle against Force Users?

Weird question. But i ask this because Canon has treated Vader with the upmost respect, which is fine and rad. But him casually dominating everyone is great, a sight to be seen, but what sort of advantages, circumstances and such most be involved in order for Force Users to give Vader a run for his money?

What most an author do in order to make his/her character pose a believable challenge to arguably one of the Strongest Force Users in the old and new EUs? I mean, surely no simple no-name can stand up to Vader yes?

I ask because, we're bound to see him duel Jedi, it's simply a matter of when. So penny for your thoughts?

Just be Galen Marek.

The character n era to be establish as above the other Jedi and the circumstances of their victory must be circumstantial or open to interpretation.

When he faces Maul and loses the duel but ultimately kills him(as depicted in Ressurection).

hes challenged continually physically in his early years and the Imperial hierarchy subtly challenge his authority constantly up until his death

Not sure what most of them would do, but Filoni would just wank his character to infinity.

Vader better hope he doesn't run into Maul.

Who can't even best Kanan? I'm sure.

Resisting Palpatine's Lightning without Oneness for like 30 seconds makes him > Vader.

No, Vader couldn't do that, because we've seen what happens when Vader, or even ROTJ Luke tries to do that.

They get fried.

Darth Vader is just another boring mary sue in the making. Disney will ruin Star Wars.

Disney isn't ruining shit.
