What a really like about this series is they didn’t sugarcoat Vader. They didn’t “Disney” him, some people seemed to forget when this show was airing that Vader is the most evil, vicious and ruthless man in the galaxy. I remember people getting disturbed when he was going threw the town killing people. I was thinking to myself “umm everyone knows who this man is right, like what did you expect?” Glad they stuck to how he’s supposed to be and didn’t ruin his character for the kids. Like some others I could mention…
I mean me personally, I’d read the comics and all so I knew what he WAS capable of, but I never expected Disney to show it so willingly. Definitely props to them on that and now the Andor series. I really hope Disney is beginning to find its Star Wars footing because I’m getting more and more excited for their shows
@@Halo687doesminecraft im really glad they did man, and they brought back a “revenge of the sith” type lightsaber battle. I really wish they did choreography similar to that in the sequel trilogy. It balanced perfectly with obi wan using the light side and Vader using the dark as well as their skills with a lightsaber. It just kept you invested in the fight a lot more than the sequel trilogy ones.
I agree, like he's not some teenage boy who throws a Tatum because he could not find cough a girl , if he's going to kill people he's going to do it, he does not let anyone else do it, he does it, that is why Vader is the most amazing and loved character in all of the Star Wars universe, even though he is evil lol
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s9ERquPjvmk.html My edit called “The tragedy of Anakin and Obi Wan” is now out using content from the new series.
To put it honestly for me, Vader in this series felt less like Vader from the OT and Rouge One, but felt more like as if Anakin from the prequels was evil and wearing a Darth Vader suit. Which does make sense when you think about the fact that Hayden is playing him in this series and I think it works very well.
Anakin was always in there deep down. It's been a point through all off the trilogies. Plus this is not too long after his and Kenobi's first duel that left him mangled in the grand scheme of things.
That’s because this is literally an evil Anakin in a suit. him facing Kenobi brought out some of that personality he had during the prequels. It’s also worth mentioning he’s older and more experienced as vader in rogue one and the original trilogy.
The problem with it is, for us rational thinking people, why didnt he do this in the 3+ other times i can think of in the trilogy where they narrowly escaped vader? typical over the top bs ruining movie believability. but i guess theres alot of tards out there who like that eh?
@@firebottle8402 Basically he's saying Kenobi's mastery of the Force has returned after years of being on the run, but his empathy and compassion for others that Vader feels are weaknesses remains.
That blend of Anakin and Vaders voice at the end is amazing and deeply chilling. Vader works so well as a terrifying antagonist simply because you don't see much of him, it's mainly the threat of him that's portrayed.
8:01 I love the little detail of Vader making sure he has a good grip on his lightsaber (you see it better in the show), almost like he knows in order to get his revenge, he has to *earn* it.
We need a full Vader series. The fact he can effortlessly dissappear and reappear is horrifying I'm aware of the Comics, I said this as in something else because the comics are a story that's already been told via the comics.
@@Joemight13 that too but the fact he's broken by everything that happened to him only makes everything he does seem less out of pure evil and more because that's his purpose now
The thing is in actual cannon obi-wan is one of the least powerful force users in the Jedi order. Him throwing boulders around well past his prime seems a bit silly to me.
@@Nostradevus1uhhh idk where you read that but no Where in canon does it ever state that lol Only a handful of Jedi in canon exist beyond death like he does So he’s among qui-gon & yoda as the one of the wisest and most in tune w the force
@@honestmaster1932 doesnt change that this show has the most visually terrifying representation of Vader we've seen on screen. Im sure comics and such had this figured out years ago, but Disney has ruined Star Wars. My point was that Vader remains very much "not ruined"
@@Evan8787 I agree with you about the show being bad. I hate literally everything else about the show lol. How do you think I found this video? Vader is the only thing even remotely worth watching in it
I never realized but Vader calls Kenobi "Master" after he buries him in rubble. And later calls Darth Sidious "Master". It's a good reference to the inner turmoil between Vader & Anakin.
No inner turmoil in that entire scene, sorry to burst your bubble. It's called sarcasm. Vader was mocking Kenobi, not being sentimental. At this point until Return of the Jedi Vader is 100% sith and committed to Palpatine.
This darth vadar is more menancing then in the other films it feels. Moves quicker, faster and more powerful. the voice of him is different also. I like this version of him
Vader is usually cold and Calculating but when Kenobi is even brought up he becomes froth at the Mouth. He was once set up at the very mention of Kenobi and rushed right into a trap. Can we really Blame him? He wakes up everyday and probably thinks about how he could've not ended up in that suit.
im guessing you mean his voice. vader could only whisper because of how fried his vocals were so his voice box had to pronounce his words for him. that’s another reason its so sad seeing vader scream kenobi, we know it physically pained him to scream
@@dopeastro that's not what I'm saying at all man I was just making a joke as I got older I would start to listen to the things that Vader would say and I always thought he said some pretty intelligent things that's all I was trying to say
Hayden Christianson’s voice and James Eral Jones voice combined to make one bone chilling voice. That’s going to leave you with nightmares every night.
I think that the scene when he lands on the planet and starts torturing and killing people with the force does a perfect job of creating the image that he is known for. I used to always wonder why everyone was so scared of him in A New Hope and think that the comic books and tbis scene do a good job of illustrating that. He is brutal and like a monster showing up and causing people to cower because of his sheer power.
that was epic and having no limbs does not change anything, you can be seriously crippled and still be way stronger than many it's called the Darkside the more hate and pain the stronger you get,Vader learned to use these emotions and that's why he became so powerful and he always was tremendously powerful I don't know how some forget that, he's on the top of the most powerful sith lords to ever live and probably the most feared as well
@@Matt03981 Stop making your own facts idiot lmao. It is very well known having no limbs greatly affects your ability to use the force. This is why Vader is never able to use Force Lightning. Stop jacking off when you type, so you're not wrong af.
He didn't voice Vader this time. Rather, they used the software Respeecher to reconstruct his voice. Personally, I think it's for the best considering James Earl Jones is already in his 90s
love how he was depicted here in his prime. It began with rouge one hwere you could feel his strength and than the fighting scene at 5:35 following is just crazy. how he easily uses the force and the almost bored fighting style
Clearly makes more understable why inquisitors are so scared by him ( being strong in the dark side + being more skilled that any bounty hunters and jedi in the galaxy ) even the grand inquisitor dont dare to insist when vader say something
Lost in all the fighting: not only does Vader not even need his lightsaber drawn to no touch fu Reva, he literally grabs the blade with his hand at one point. It's brief but shows why the Mandalorian crushgaunts could block blaster bolts, and also how effortlessly he can dissipate energy.
‘YOU WERE WARNED… WHAT DEFEAT… WOULD BRING!’ I know it wasn’t James Earl Jones, but the thought of him actually performing that in a studio with raw passion and anger gives me chills just as much as the scene itself.
To me, this version of Vader is a lot more reflective of how he's portrayed in the comics. He's violent, ruthless, and dark. He's the sh*t and he knows he's the sh*t. He barely has any lines but he makes an unbelievable impact on the audience. He is so much darker, and I think everyone prefers it that way.
Vader is so intimidating and fierce in this series. He can literally takedown a whole star ship using the force. No wonder he says the qoute-"You don't know the power of the darkside."
The emperor actually wanted anakin to take over him and respected the rule of two, only until sidious realized vader will not live up to his potential did he give up on the rule of two so he wasn’t actually afraid
@@davidortiz3094 he wasn’t afraid, doctor cylo made the suit and it was made with the best resources at hand and sidious allowed vader to replace parts of the suit to his liking so it’s not weak at all, vader has survived lightning many times before he died, he only died to sidious lightning because he 1. Sacrificed himself with the intention of dying, 2. Stopped using the darkside to fuel his durability so he was just a regular Jedi in a failing life support system
@@nickmiller9910 it’s not canon lmao, the suit was made by doctor cylo with the best equipment and materials on hand. That’s just headcanon, Vaders suit in canon isn’t weak to anything and he’s survived lightning multiple times before
Imagine exactly how skilled Kenobi must be to duel Vader not once, not twice, but three times, and not only survive, but thrash him. He didn't even lose the fourth and final time, he still denied Vader his victory.
Just now realized, if you listen to kenobi screaming in pain while being burned by vader, sounds exactly like anakin after obi wan cut of his limbs and getting burned on mustafar, the cycle is complete
Seeing Vader unleashed was the only thing about his show I truly enjoyed. As a kid in 77 I was afraid of Vader when he first appeared on the screen. He remains my favorite Star Wars character to this day. 🍻
It would be even more intimidating if Lord Vader grabbed all three Inquisitors as punishment for letting Obi-Wan escape easily even though there were three of them in the Inquisitorious
Except only Sister failed here - Sister was the one who called the other Inquisitors off and allowed Obi-Wan to infiltrate the base and THEN got distracted with an insignificant little pilot
The way he’s messing with the inquisitor when she tries to kill him is just so amazing, really shows how powerful he actually is. He’s not making any effort for a while, just dodging her attacks elegantly, not even drawing his lightsaber, trying to give her the vague impression she could actually win, which we all know is total bull. Such great stuff in this show.
1:42 I remember watching this for the first time and going “HOLY SHIT”. Dude snapped a kid’s neck with 0 hesitation. THIS is the Vader I wanted to see. Ruthless and pure anger, as he’s shown here
Obi Wan may be upset on how Anakin became Vader, but Kenobi is also full of guilt not just because he felt he failed to train Anakin but he believed he let his old master Qui Gonn down. He promised his master he would train Anakin and he felt he disappointed him as well as thinking Yoda was right about being against the idea of Anakin being a Jedi in TPM.
I love how the blue light illuminates on Vader's face symbolizing the pain, suffering and tragedy that he had went through putting him in a sad light and how the red light illuminating on Vader's face symbolizes the wrath, vengeance and hate that he has accepted putting him in quite the terrifying light
I wish they made a Vader movie or series showing how Vader trained with Sidious in his suit. We see him create his light saber and build his castle on Mustafar
@@Jackferrett6781 yes because the nobody said Vader was good in the series, or rogue one, or any other time he’s shown up in Star Wars. Stop watching and shut the fuck up if you don’t like it.
I forgot how menacing Darth Vader really was. They did a damn good job on these series making him as intimidating and dark and as he can be. I got to admit this is way better than I thought it was going to be. Not to mention so was Obi-Wan!!!
5:32 That's so frikkin cool! Just grabs a whole damn ship and brings it back down. Shows how strong he is when Yoda struggled with a mere X-Wing Fighter.
In the second fight against Kenobi, we can see that Vader becomes somewhat desperate and starts to use both of his hands and he uses more traditional style compared to his more signature style of lightsaber dueling.
When Vader got his mask cut open and talked to Obi Wan in his normal voice and then yelled his name as he walked away for a 2nd time was probably more emotional than anything in Star Wars history.
@@Jackferrett6781 I _have_ a Disney+ subscription, doofus. I just don't watch lame bullshit like this. 😆 Now go brush your teeth with your toenails, Einstein. In case you didn't get that one it was a reference to sticking your foot in your mouth. And I think you meant to say "get" a Disney+ subscription.
Honestly, this is my favorite version of Vader. Yeah the show was disappointing, but I've never actually felt FEAR when watching Vader before. I was literally shaking at some scenes, and I'm someone who doesn't get scared during horror movies. My favorite Vader hands down.
Hayden embodies him because unlike the actor who played Darth Vader first, Hayden actually understands the character and his history. George Lucas fired the first guy for a reason.
@@overlordxab3365first of all noone is talking about Vader's life, what we are talking about is after he was put into his armor and just because Vader was in some of the movies doesn't mean their completely about him dude ,Vader only got a little screen time between the original 3 films, he wasn't even in the prequels just a tiny end part but we definitely need a solo Vader series or movie based off him that's it, there is 20 plus years of space where Vader does badass things that could use a nice live action film
The fact that vader can even keep up with obi wan is a testament to how powerful his connection with the force is despite losing so much of his body and medachlorians, imagine how powerful he would be if he hadnt lost his limbs! I feel like it would have been a complete washout if he hadnt
I think Anakin was always the most powerful, but like most angsty teens, he cannot focus that power. Most of Anakin's thoughts were concerned with random BS with training Ashoka, war, getting promotions, love, respect, other crap, instead of focused on 1 target. Sidious never planned on ruling the galaxy forever, he was just happy that he won the fight and became emperor. He was hoping that Vader will become the most powerful Sith in history. When Sidious saw how badly injured Vader was, it's like a rich man watching his new Bugatti get wrecked on the 1st day. Sidious became more interested in cementing his own legacy since it was clear Vader wasn't going to go down as the most powerful Sith of all time, therefore he had to be remembered for something big like the Death Star and not for something insignificant like temporarily overthrowing the galactic senate. All things considered, few people knew that the Emperor was even a Sith lord, or a force wielder during his time as an emperor. People thought the force was a myth at that point. Vitiate was more legendrary Sith lord than Sidious in history due to the length of his reign over a couple centuries. After Sidious died, he only reigned a paltry couple of decades all things considered. That's like a blip in the history of a 25,000+ year galactic republic... Not even 1% of its history lmao. Sidious greatest feat is basically ending the Jedi order, but now that Mary Sue is here, who knows if he succeeded.
Would love to see a Vader series between Revenge of the Sith and New Hope. What Vader was doing when establishing a new government and then him hunting surviving Jedi and whatnot. Disney doesn’t have the guts to do it though, as he’s a villain and it’d have to be incredibly dark and grim.
At least there is a canon comic series which covers exactly that. We see events such as taking command of inquisitorius, creating his first red lightsaber and so on.
