I like it when vader isn't this undefeatable force, honestly. Most of his victims at least in canon stories are either padawans, jedi knights that have been out of practice for years because they are hiding their abilities or people who straight up don't have the force at all. This group, Cere and Obi-Wan, show that he isn't some invincible monster that cannot be taken head-on. Don't get me wrong he still is one of the strongest force users to ever exist but in a place as big as a galaxy i found it weird that almost nobody on the light side or dark side of the force could challenge him. I think, in a way, the empire was a genius plan creating a hostile environment for every force sensitive that wasn't vader or sidious to actually grow powerful enough to topple their reign. Until Luke shows up, of course.

@freeman6156 I prefer the opposite myself but I can respect this preference too 🙏

[@JcDenton86]

Yeah, it is clear that Palpatine mainly used Vader as a propaganda for the Empire's favour. He could also sense the conflict in him, that's also one of the many reasons why he didn't allow him to upgrade his suit, and never trusted him either etc. hence Anakin / Vader was "easily" beatable by a trained Jedi. This group for example, Ahsoka, or later on by Obi-Wan, and finally by Luke. Vader was intimidating indeed by his sheer presence, but that was just a front, his wounds, scars, and the suit, and ofc aging made him weaker over the course of time. Becoming Vader was a true handicap vs. the real strength of Anakin Skywalker.

Thank you I agree Vader is powerful but not unbeatable and the galaxy is a big place he going to face challenges and suffer defeat here and there that why I fine Starkiller beating Vader because one Vader trained him well and two Vader defeat was his own fault. Sure it fun he steamroll his opponents but overtime it just gets old and to not having any challenges for himself or gain experience through defeat.

[@freeman6156]

@JcDenton86 Correct honestly if aniakin was uninjured and still healthy around the time of his fights with Luke, he most likely wouldn't have lost to his son. If anything, not because he's a stronger force user then his son but because his combat experience and being fully healthy

[@k.c.8722]

This makes more sense to me too. With damage his body suffered and the machinery interfering with his connection to the force, he’s not up to code. It’s kinda like a car that got in a bad wreck and then got its parts replaced with inferior components and was mad bigger and stiffer. Or a tool that took damage but still kinda works. It also makes more sense that he narrowly killed 8 Jedi with help but the Empire spins it to make him sound cooler. This drives the rest further underground breaking their spirits and his legend skyrockets

[@Walid-mk4jo]

Maybe of most of the jedi didn't say anything throughout there whole fight with vader then they could have won..

[@frostbite27100]

Would you ever consider covering the transition from Clones to Stormtroopers proper?

[@bhavdeeprehal8827]

Interesting how elements of this comic made the Obi Wan show

[@ronjon7942]

Shadday…wow. She’s fortunate Vader killed all the others. Had he not, nor killed her, they certainly should have. She had some nerve using her peers as bait. How did she pass her trials? Shoot, how did she pass a psych test? Important family? Blackmail? DEI? Anyway, THIS is the Anakin I know and love. Great episode; nice work.

[@franktastichove7407]

Wish it was animated

[@fraoct1065]

is this legends now?

[@johnfocker626]

No

[@TH3SH4P3-MY3RS]

6:22 I don't know, can't see Vader being overwhelmed by rocks being thrown at him even if it was 3 vs 1, he'd simply push it back at them with ease, no jedi could stand on his face, terribly nerfed here.

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

Cool video 😊

[@TH3SH4P3-MY3RS]

Why do I have the feeling that many panels are literally copied from the movies scenes? 7:41 Palpatine's face ie.

[@Supershadowthehedgehogoffical]

Mace did defeat palpatine only bc anikan/Vader showed up as for yoda it was a equal draw

[@stevenhorstgeorg5728]

Yoda was actually winning. You can read that in the books. He just lost his lightsaber and had the lowground so he decided to get the hell out, to help against the Emporer
