I'm pretty pissed right now. Why is it that everybody thinks Darth Vader, when he gets trapped in his life support suit, is stronger than Anakin in Revenge of the Sith?
I'll explain to you why I think Anakin is stronger. Firstly, Darth Vader got his arm and legs cut off by Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. He lost a lot of midi-chlorians that day, greatly reducing his force power. Granted, he was still more powerful than an average Jedi, but he was so much more when he was mostly flesh and blood.
Secondly, his suit hindered his mobility. Djem So already had a problem with mobility, but he when he was mostly flesh, he go around it using the acrobatic moves of Ataru. When the became mostly machine, he fighting style became clumsy and slow.
Thirdly, he lost to his son in a lightsaber duel. I know Luke eventually became the most powerful Jedi ever, but Vader lost to a 23-year-old man who only had 4 years of training! Imperfect training, I might add. Plus, when he fought with Darth Maul's doppleganer, he matched him in strength until the duels end. The Anakin from Revenge of the Sith defeated Count Dooku, who is supposedly stronger than Maul.
So...someone please fill me in on why people think Vader is more powerful? His telekinetic feats? I'm sure Anakin has used telekinesis masterfully before. Remember when he Force Gripped a crap-droid's leg and smashed it into another crab-droid? That takes serious skill.
Anakin (actually Darth Vader when he was flesh & blood) killed a lot of Jedi at once. Who other than Windu, Kenobi, Yoda, and Sidous would be able to do that?
The general conclusion is that Anakin was the superior duelist, but Vader had two decades of superior training to hone what remained of his Force aptitude. Only intense training, meditation, and study grants one a notable command of the Force.
Well...I never thought of it that way. But I don't think Vader was far superior to Anakin in the Force. Wait...that would mean that Vader was stronger than Luke in the Force in ROTJ. Because there is no way Anakin, who had 13 years of training in the Force was weaker than Luke, who only had 4 years of training in the Force.
Vader has had waaay more experience in mastering the Force, and he has much more impressive feats than Anakin, which is why people know that he has a better control of the Force.
But you're actually pissed about this? Doesn't that go a little too far.
I'm pissed about people murdering eachother for drugs.
