I don't think this duel made Vader look weak. The opposite in fact. If Vader just instantly killed Cere I would have just assumed that she was still weak and would not have proved Vader's strength. Instead they showed Cere had fully immersed herself in the force while hiding, becoming a master and spending years preparing for this specific fight. In this scene we saw Vader fight a very powerful Jedi Master and WIN. To me this actually shows how strong he was becoming. I'd honestly be disappointed if a Jedi Master didn't put up a good fight.

[@caleb_dume]

I personally loved this sequence. Cere represents what the Jedi should be at this point in her life. She even says so “I’ve let go of my fear”. The republic and the order fell because the Jedi had become so self absorbed, but here we see Cere rising above the order of the past. On top of that, Vader underestimates her. He swatted her away like a fly the last time they met. She stands her ground against him this time because she let go of the hatred she had against him for killing Trilla, further showing her character and power growth. Vader becomes visibly more aggressive throughout the fight as he realises he has a real opponent this time. We all knew he was going to ultimately win, but to say Cere stands no chance just doesn’t give her justice. And a side note, it genuinely nearly brought me to tears when I realised that whole Cere section of the game was Cal reliving her death through his force psychometry. It was absolutely heartbreaking

[@JaredBruski]

Anybody saying she stood no chance should see how vader picks himself up and limps away, yes he won, but that is not the way someone leaves a duel who had no worries. That man was limping, panting, and just glad to be done with the fight. Normally when he kills any number of jedi he always gloats or showboats.

I think seeing Vader walk off at the end tired from fighting shows how he’s still “human” and is even MORE chilling to me. This is just one man.

Maybe it’s scratching too deep for headcanon, but I like to think the nuance is there

I honestly think this is one of Vader’s better portrayed duels (outside of the movies) because the only reason he takes any damage isn’t because he was over powered or out dueled but bc for a split second he underestimated a master Jedi, and it shows Cere’s genius as she lured him to a trap which she only had milliseconds at best to think of and spring, then Vader emerges from the fire with some new found respect for Cere (which is shown in how he doesn’t taunt or belittle her after the duel is over) he’s also a little shaken up which Cere tries to take advantage of and she is almost able to do so but Vader being the smarter duelist manages to actually use that upper hand she has to his own advantage as it prompts her into going on a full offensive as she believes it’s her only chance at striking him, this leaves her defenseless and Vader capitalizes on the opportunity, delivering a final blow

[@SleepyJohn_4]

For those upset that Cere put up a good fight here’s my best explanation for this. 1. Let’s drop the whole “Vader is invincible” He isn’t. The main reason Vader overpowers his opponent is because they already fear him, fear of losing something or someone which he exploits and dominates those who faces him. That and because he’s an expert duelist and very powerful in the Force. 2. Cere is a literal Jedi Master who’s not some cannon fodder, but an experienced Jedi. 3. A Jedi with no fear is (In my opinion) the most dangerous thing to a Sith. This is b/c letting go of fear allows a Jedi to fully concentrate and let themselves follow the will of the force, making them more powerful as a result which is what Cere did. That is why fear is the Jedi’s worse enemy b/c it hinders and distracts them.

[@naufalmEZa]

Reminds me of that Kanan vs. Grand Inquisitor duel, also Obi Wan vs. Vader back in Kenobi.

[@tyroneanderson5619]

No ur dumb, Vader has killed countless Jedi masters in hiding after order 66 like they're nothing but cannon fodder. Cere is really no different. Vader is said to be 80% Palpatine's level, Cere should not be giving him this much of a fight. Thats bulls hit, I'm sorry

[@curiouspanda873]

Finally someone who understands. Even in vaders comics he struggles against fully trained jedi master who are not fodder

Vader "overpowers" his opponents because he's more powerful than they are, and a much better strategist. It's pretty simple. Fear plays a part, but even if they don't fear him, they still don't have a chance.

[@SarcyBoi41]

I don't think it's that. Look at how Vader's moveset evolves through the fight - he wasn't taking her seriously for the first two stages, he was playing with his food. It's all slow lumbering strikes, but once she damages his armour he realizes she's stronger than he thought and actually puts effort in, so his moves get much quicker and harder to parry, with way more unlockables. But of course by that point his armour was damaged so he couldn't just smite her.

@@KTLaughter I mean I agree in principle, but just one small correction. Vader and Anakin ARE separate characters, or at least he tries to be, but when he is around people and places that remind him of his past, Anakin comes out, which weakens his link to the Dark Side temporarily. At least in the first 5-10 years of his time as Vader. After that this tactic really doesn't work on him anymore other than with Luke, who's a special exception because...well...he's his son...who he's thought was dead all these years.

Honestly, this is how I think a serious fight between Vader and a fully trained Jedi knight _should_ go. He's powerful and very skilled, yes, but I don't like it when they present him as some unbeatable super being. What made him truly dangerous was having the backing of the entire Empire. A decent Jedi is still an opponent he has to take seriously - that's why they all had to go.

[@FirestoneAnimation]

[@aWildMoke]

I see people saying Vader is underpowered in this fight but i don't see it that way. Vader acknowledges Cere has grown stronger, but several times in this fight he overpowers her with the Force. He probably could have killed her at any point easily using the Force based on what we see but he wants to break her so he doesn't use the Force to kill her until she gets too close at which point he redirects her strike to miss while stabbing her simultaneously. Also Vader is known for toying with his victims before killing them which actually gets him into trouble a few times in Star Wars canon. But i think that's a bit of Anakin's ego shining through, he has to prove he is the best. But his arrogance and need to prove himself often cause him to lose/almost lose fights just like Obi-wan repeatedly tried to warn him. There are so many nods to other things in Star Wars in this game and this fight to me really shows that although yes Vader is evil and terrifying, it's clearly Anakin in that suit. He's still there just under the surface but only Luke could see that and bring him back.

[@wintersrevenge5958]

If anyone thinks Vader is weak here, just noting that 1: Cere is at a level of Master, fully retuning herself to the force after putting her loss and anguish behind her.
