Uru is the least special thing about it... probably worth less than its paint or leather straps.

you can call me leather daddy

Vader soaks the effects of a weapon that was capable of insta-draining(to the point where it disintegrated) organic life in its vicinity, and proceeds to destroy said machine:

Granted it weakened Vader to some extent, but it's still quite an impressive showing, imo.

He also casually Force-chokes an officer from planetary range:

Is this his longest range feat in canon? Apart from the one on the bridge in the films.

He did something similar here as well:

But yeah, those two are probably his best range feats in canon.

Not bad.

For Vader. I mean, Iron Fist was resisting worse in the 1970's, but fair game on Anakin's growth. 👆

what about when he choked out that officer in "empire" through the screen?? That one always impressed me a lot.

but wouldnt those be -the- best range feats in the new disney canon?

Yeah I think that's what Galan was saying. The cinematic feat, and now this one.

Until Prince Xizor and that entire storyline comes back, that is.

Vader Force-choking Admiral Ozzel in ESB is probably a lesser feat than the other two I posted from the comics, tbh. Vader was in his meditation chamber(which is on the Executor), and Ozzel was a commander of the Executor -- so they were likely aboard the same ship. Granted the Executor is very large(nearly 12 miles long), and we know Ozzel was on the bridge when Vader choked him... But I'm not sure if there is any source that states where Vader's chamber sits relative to the bridge. Though I'd imagine that they're fairly close, given that Vader(and the other officers) can comfortably walk to and from each location.

No, it's far from the best overall range feat in canon. Palpatine Force-choking Dooku via hologram in TCW is a vastly better showing, as Palps was on Coruscant and Dooku was on Serenno at the time -- literally thousands of light years apart.

That said, with all the non-stop wank he has received in canon, I feel confident that a peak/prime Vader would be capable of Force-choking from much greater distances than we've seen. He just hasn't been given the opportunity yet... TK choking from planetary range(and without a proper visual of his target) is still pretty good, though.

What, the indestructible metal breakage?

Remind me, why doesn't that prove he can shatter another unbreakable metal like adamantium again?

If it's about the feats, then wouldn't that apply to other materials from other fictions that aren't 100% indestructible? (Say, promethium or inertron, or even forged uru)?

Wasn't Prince Xizor where Vader force shattered an indestructible metal?

xizor isnt part of the new disney canon. he was an eu only character.

Xizor is a canon character now:

...But they haven't done anything with him yet.

DS was just lowkey referring to Vader Force-choking Xizor from a galactic distance in Shadows of the Empire, which is non-canon/Legends material(though I wouldn't be surprised if that story was revamped or canonized one day.)

Galan gets me when I'm going down low 👆

Never like Xizor, but it's a good feat.

He just wasn't very interesting.

how MUCH stronger though?

because tking an opponent from light years away is a huge cry from tking an opponent from a nearby planet.

i read the shadows of the empire comics a long time ago and remember thinking the same thing about xizor as a character. just a pompous douche with no likable qualities as a villain.

maybe he was better in the books?

I borrowed the book from the library way back in 01-02, tbh barely remember him even being in it. Had some scenes, wasn't central to the story.
