Dark side aside, teaching someone to use everything at their disposal and take advantage of the environment around you to achieve victory is an objectively good lesson

[@thenativegamer4053]

Anytime palapatine takes you to a secluded area it’s never good

[@thenativegamer4053]

How many Ls is palapatine gonna make Vader take and pass them of as “lessons” until Vader realizes his mentor may have a weird kink

[@W1ckedshort]

This fight makes Mace Windu look infinitely more badass than he already did when he practically solo'd Palpatine.

[@sundown1362]

I think Palpatine took this philosophy from his master Plagueis. Plagueis hated lightsaber combat, and would much rather use his force powers. That being said he would use his lighsaber in combat, but only in a fight where using his force powers was not enough.

[@prestonjones1653]

I know this isn't the point but can we just take note of how Palpatine's lighrsaber hilt is absolutely

[@ryandenina7735]

Vader was also not comfortable in his suit in the beginning. It took him time to adjust to the mechanics and limited mobility. Vader said he felt clumsy within the armor so no surprise that Sidous won with ease

[@OptimusMaximusNero]

Speaking of Anakin and the mentality he develops over the years on the Dark and Light side of the Force, there's a novel written by Ryder Windham called "The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader", which recounts the life of the Chosen One since his arrival on Tatooine at the age of 3 until his death on the Death Star II, showing Anakin's thoughts about the events and characters he witnesses and meets throughout his life. It is a quite emotional and complex book despite being intended for a young audience. Truly reccommended!

The Jedi didn't over rely on their light sabers, Anakin did. Great Jedi like Obi-Wan (that left Vader for dead twice) had such a strong connection to the force that it was essentially the force that fought through him. Anakin on the other hand had an inferior connection to the force. He could USE it greatly, but it didn't work THROUGH him.

[@hordegaming4771]

Also reminds me of when Palpatine fights Maul and his brother in the Clone Wars and is literally laughing as they actually try to take him on. He just throws them around like ragdolls aswell.

[@OptimusMaximusNero]

Lightsaber according to Sith: "The tool we use to symbolize our unlimited power"

[@OptimusMaximusNero]

Palpatine: "You fight like a Jedi!"

[@Robocopnik]

Anakin - "why do we use lightsabers?"

[@CornBreadtm1]

Ezra: "Yeah, that sounds great, but what if you just added a blaster to your lightsaber?"

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

Vader learned well, but it is also a lesson he should have learned from fighting Dooku all those times. No one was better at multitasking with the Force attacks whilst using superb swordsmanship than Dooku.

[@ChristianVillamil]

Even when Sidious despised using lightsabers, he became a master using them with such ease and precision.

[@Pin-Din7]

That's an interesting counter response Kenobi gives when thinking of what Palps said about the lightsaber. Very thoughtful.

[@jackhilton8921]

Hey lore master, I just wanted to say thank you for being one of the pillars of my childhood and uploading so many SW videos that got me into this universe and gave me such a deep understanding of everything in it

[@YourFreund]

If Vader was in his prime, he would stand a better chance. And in prime I mean not being a poorly cooked beef jerky with robot limbs.

[@rodgill9376]

I've always found Palpatine hating lightsabers and dueling quite interesting. On one hand, he has a point in the sense on that the force being one's greatest tool/ally instead of using a lightsaber. The Force can do much more than a lightsaber ever could and I think that is why Palapatine hated the weapon so much. No doubt this mindset came from Plagueis, since he too disliked dueling with lightsabers despite his skills. He once called them "tedious." But on the other hand, I believe in the balance of using both the force and the lightsaber.
