Is Disney Canon Vader > Legends Vader?

Title says it all.

From what I've seen? No.

Did Legends Vader ever redirect torpedo blasts?

Think Canon Vader is >

In terms of In Universe powerscaling against other characters hes certainly better. Just look at EU Vader vs TPM Maul comic.

Legends Vader would have speedblitzed and oneshotted Kanan and Ezra

Canon Vader was toying with them.

It was his plan for then to escape so he could track their ship back to the rebel fleet.

Oh ok then

I agree with Darth Thor here. Regarding the powerscaling in the respective universes, Canon Vader places much higher as far as Canon powerscaling than Legends Vader places by Legends powerscaling.

That being said, I'm pretty sure if we took all of the feats and scaling of Legends Vader and compared them to Canon Vader, Legends Vader comes out on top. This is because Legends feats and scaling were waaaaay more absurd than Canon. The high end feats on Legends fit better in DC or DBZ than in Star Wars, and as a result, Legends scaling pretty much always results in Legends characters being far greater than their respective Canon counterparts.

So, respective, in-universe powerscaling, Canon Vader>Legends Vader. Actual feats and conventional scaling, Legends Vader>Canon Vader.

In terms of feats canon Vader is better. Legends has better scaling though such as TFU games for example

That’s more of an impressive showing for Maul to be fair, and it was ANH Vader, who is meant to be a shadow of his former self (RotS Anakin). That Vader would beaten by Grievous, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Mace and maybe even Dooku in a sword fight.

I definitely feel like canon Vader is superior, but what do you guys think?

Canon definitely.

Legends, better scaling and the like. Canon may have more "bigger feats" but I don't see why his Legends incarnation couldn't replicate them.

Canon for sure. He has all the best feats of legends Vader plus better accolades and without the low showings

*waits for Galan to mention the Force-choking feat at insane distance while holding back*

^ He did... But so have others.

Dunno. Probably side with canon Vader at this point.

In terms of rankings, Canon Vader's defenitely higher, in his continuity. If the two were to go in a head to head brawl though, I'm thinking Legends Vader would win.

In Legends, he was above average, but there were many force users more powerful than him.
In Canon, he's one of the most powerful sith to ever live, which is obvious when he easily overpowers every threat that he encounters, including ancient force users like Mommin and Rur.

But then again, in Legends, he was competing with people who could destroy planets and cause supernovas and create/move black holes. Surviving Legends Palpatine's force lightning in RotJ alone makes him more powerful than Canon Vader.

Canon Vader is shrugging off planet crushing attacks with compromised armor these days lol.

Good catch. 👆

Merging.

One thing Canon Vader has over his Legends counterpart is how the armor wasn't made to limit him...

And even if it was, he re-built it himself, pretty much from a scratch. So it really no longer should be the case.

Legends obviously have more material, but at the rate Disney Vader is getting crazy feats, he should catch up soon --- if he hasn't done so already.
