Why is Vader such a pathetic cripple?

Also, for a slave who has no will of his own and is suppressed beyond all limits (they do go too far with this), he carried himself with untouchable respect in the OT.

You're just angry that Vader is above Dooku, lol.

I mean, the guy didn't expose Sidious even when the latter betrayed him, whereas Vader actually had the strength and will to destroy Sidious at the weakest point he had been since Mustafar and you are calling Vader out for being a slave.

Because Vader is Palpatine's dick. No purpose in life other than being a slave to darkness.

Well I guess that answers the question about Palpatine's junk.
