[@chrisweeks3245]

It's not tragic his own stupidity put him in that situation. He was an arrogant self-absorbed brat. And you know what the Jedi hold quite a bit of that responsibility as well. There were actually several Jedi that were parents they had children they knew how to raise a child. Instead they gave that child to an inexperienced young man. That was their first mistake. The second mistake was mainly on Yoda because he had visions he was shown what was going to happen, he chose to ignore those visions. It's only after the complete destruction of the Jedi order that he realizes he made a mistake. Anakin could have gone to Yoda and said hey I saw a vision of my wife dying he could have told the truth. Everyone acts like Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker two separate individuals and no they're not. He chose to become Darth Vader, he chose to butcher children. He spends all his time blaming everyone else for his problems.

I miss when Palpy came across as being in a mutual relationship with Vader; actually referring to him as "old friend" and such. They seemed to benefit from one another during the Empire's reign. Only Luke's near-death could drive Vader to break that bond with Palpy. All these recent comics make it seem less believable that Vader was willing to serve Palps for decades. If he's been going through all this pain by Palps' hand, why _wouldn't_ he betray him to save his son then?

[@thewarner2139]

They were never in a mutual relationship. RotJ showed Palpatine only concerned with eliminating his enemies and getting the best apprentice he could get. The moment Vader gets off the operating table, Palpatine disciplines him and threatens to kill him if he ever attacks him again. This very quickly establishes the pecking order, with Palpatine as the master and Vader being subservient to his every command. The Sith are inherently selfish and don't care about anyone but themselves. After Mustafar, he only ever saw Vader as a tool and would trade-up at any opportunity he got. Vader wanted to betray him, but says in RotJ he must obey Palpatine because of the difference in their strength.

I was disappointed the way they turned Vader from a cunning mastermind in ESB to an isolated pawn in ROTJ, but after this it makes sense. His son became his weakness, hindering his connection to the dark side and depowering him to the point where he could never challenge Sidious. He knew he was on borrowed time, that's why he told Luke that it was 'too late' for him, and Sidious only kept him alive until Luke was ready to replace him.

[@eezus540]

I like that this comic explains why vader is so passive and submissive to the emperor in Rotj. But This would be more satisfying and make more sense if sidious had still been the grandfatherly figure he was to Anakin to Vader the whole time, and then all of a sudden he snaps on Vader like this and this makes Vader realizes Palps was not the mentor he always thought he was. He’s aware of his masters power but also feels betrayed, Thus making his turn from palpatine easier . The only thing i HATE is the giant power disparity between Vader and Palps bc Palps himself said Vader would grow to be more powerful than him, and in this new canon there is no evidence that the loss of his limbs also equaled the losd of midicholrians so what gives??

You said that the new canon has no evidence for vaders loss of power/limbs. Well, this comic is evidence.

James Lee this isnt so much evidence as it is just a glaring, in your face statement that some Darth Vader fans were wholly unprepared for. But i guess if we saw rise of skywalker we shouldnt be surprised huh

[@fersho450]

That's because Vader only weakness And disadvantage to Palpatine is the lightnings. Also he in this comic is very weakened because of his lightside returning. Palpatine himself said so.

[@ahsokatano4908]

He’s way weaker because he has conflicted emotions

When people run out of ideas for a comic book they just tread over the same ground over and over.

[@faded9581]

We think back to all the times both Anakin and Vader powered through insurmountable odds throughout sheer willpower, and despite all of his feats, he ultimately is still powerless against Sidious *so long as he clings on to his hate* When he finally grabbed Sidious to protect his son, he finally threw of the emotional chain of anger and contempt that had repressed him since he was first enslaved. He became a true Jedi for the first time in that moment, and it was then, that Sidious was powerless against him.

[@roguelionproductions3030]

Ehhhhh... I’ve been enjoying the walk down memory lane with Vader uncovering the fate of padme and the handmaidens of Amidala, but for Sideous to go and recreate the scene with Mustafar... I don’t know. It feels like a lazy move on Disney’s part. Reusing locations and events when they could have done something new and elaborate like bringing him to Korriban or Droman Kass, other sources of Sith power to drown lord Vader in. I don’t know... This one just doesn’t hit home for me.

[@thewarner2139]

Vader was initially conflicted when he and Luke spoke on Endor, but managed to suppress Anakin's emotions during the duel. He had resolved himself to destroy Luke or convert him. It wasn't until he witnessed Palpatine torturing his son that Anakin was able to reappear and break the hold of the dark side.

[@thewarner2139]

@Sun Wu-Entai 90 Vader was aggressive. Luke was simply able to match him in their rematch, as stated in Jedi vs Sith 2016, they were complete equals in all respects.

IT’S EVEN FUNNIER THE SECOND TIME

[@premsun]

Anakin is an example of sadness, misery and treachery by his loved ones.

[@WaterdogOnPC]

Man I’m not so sure about this. One of the things I liked about the prequels and old legends was that Palpatine still held the respect of Vader and wasn’t cartoonishly evil towards him. Palpatine abided by some sort of moral code, albeit an incredibly twisted one. He still was a Sith and stood by the rule of two and was willing to replace him, but that was just a part of the code and not his own absurd torture methods. The replacement method and instinct to kill the weaker Sith wasn’t overly personal in nature. It was a method of passing on the Sith tradition that was understood by the apprentice when he signed on. What palpatine does in this issue is just ridiculous. It’s overly personal and void of any Sith tradition or methods. It leaves no room for Vader to ever want to work with him again. It’s too far and makes their relationship much less believable.

[@kennykaijage5342]

But this scene explains why Vader couldn't challenge Palpatine in episode 6. The guy literally used the force to crush his cybernetic arms and limbs

[@thewarner2139]

Nothing in this is unbelievable and nothing Palpatine does is personal. The Sith have no moral code and are only concerned with the Rule of Two and using whatever methods they could to gain more strength. Palpatine only ever cared about having the strongest apprentice he could get and he wanted Vader to be as powerful as possible. He constantly tested Vader and probed him for weakness, and Vader did the same. They followed the destructive tenets of the Sith to a fault. And let's not act like this is anything new for Palpatine. We see him torture Maul and discipline Dooku in TCW.

[@rikuvakevainen6157]

@@thewarner2139 and Sidious also wanted to keep Vader under his control. After realizing that Padme had given him a son, Vader relized that Luke Skywalker was a potential future for him, escaping from Palpatine's control and live freely. Palpatine knew what Vader thought so he wanted to remind Vader, who has the power in their relationship and show that Vader had no chance to escape from Palpatine.

[@thevalleyard3942]

I do partially after with you, it does seem kinda over the top for him to rip his limbs off and such. I feel like with palpatine mentioning padme it would have empowered Vader a little more, giving him more hatred and thus more power, maybe even enough to resist palpatine to the point that palpatine would be happy with the strength Vader displayed. But ultimately this arc will likely end in Vader being stronger at the end than he is here so that's the part I'm going to try and focus on since again I agree this is kinda over the top.

Also backed up by this statement. Vader completed his meditation and opened his eyes. His pale, flame-savaged face stared back at him from out of the reflective black transparisteel of his pressurized meditation chamber. Without the neural connection to his armor, he was conscious of the stumps of his legs, the ruin of his arms, the perpetual pain in his flesh. He welcomed it. Pain fed his hate, and hate fed his strength. Once, as a Jedi, he had meditated to find peace. Now he meditated to sharpen the edges of his anger.” He stared at his reflection for a long time.
