Darth Vader FINALLY Reveals His Deep Fear of Luke (Before Return of the Jedi) - Star Wars Explained 

😂

Nah dude, you'll never die on that hill. After all, you have the high ground :)

Luke has plenty of love and compassion in general

Of course the return of palpatine in episode 9 cheapened Vader’s redemption and death since he was destined to bring balance to the force and destroy the sith.

@@VoldoronGaming if we consider some of the old Legends material along with Ep-9 , Palpatine was not “ dead “ but just a disembodied soul/spirit until one of his many clones was ready and strong enough to accept his disembodied spirit . In a way , with Ben Solo/Kylo Ren assisting in Palp’s final destruction , through his grandson Vader still helped restore balance .

@@VoldoronGaming Anakin did ...but palpatine used essence transfer at the last min to live on

I think last 3 movies should been something totally different but just because I didn't like it doesn't mean any else didn't.

Yoda wasn't wrong. He was testing Luke's resolve. Within a few minutes after telling the Obi-Wan force ghost he's too impetuous to train, Luke comes out with his one and only real gift: ' I am NOT afraid " His Father Anakin could not let go of fear. Again, Yoda knew this. That is why Yoda never wanted the 10 year old Anakin trained as a Jedi. Remember Yoda's fateful words that became a self fulfilling prophecy. Words to this effect: Clouded this boys future is. Much fear in him. Yoda got it right immediately. However, the arrogant Jedi Masters were ambivalent and sucked in by Sidious's distractions. As a Tibetan Master once said to me: The brightest light casts the darkest shadow. If you are standing out in the open on a cloudless day with a bright, sun filled day. Where does one cast the darkest shadow ?

"from a certain point of view" Luke did strike down Vader. By showing mercy, that after everything his own son still loved him, saw all his failings and still chose mercy, love and compassion. And Anakin couldn't stand there as the very thing that padme died to bring into this galaxy was about to be destroyed.

@@JeffreyWilliams-qv5kp This is agreeable. Luke was the only person to show compassion to Vader. Now in disney canon Anakin heard Obiwan apologize, but Vader kept going wanting to destroy him. Even in moments of Ashoka telling Anakin she won’t leave yet Vader once again taking over. Out of every Jedi Vader has battled Luke not only was the last thread to redemption but the only person who was still merciful to both Vader and Anakin despite everything the Sith Lord did through the 20 years of the Empire.

Yes, Luke had the Force as a Grandfather. He had the Force running in his veins. Luke at full potential would be more powerful than even Sidious, something that Sidious had foreseen, as he told Vader. Also, Luke was his mother's son, someone that even Sidious was afraid of in the political sphere. Luke had been raised with love, but he did not react with anger when he lost them. Also, Padme chose death instead of joining the Separatists, as she considered them traitors, and Luke chose death over power and joining Vader. Also, Luke's lack of training and knowledge of the Jedi ways and his father's history is part of what saved both of them in the end. Betraying and driving the last of the Jedi into hiding, and not being raised by the Jedi allowed Luke to see through the hypocrisy of the Jedi and their mistakes and choose to act how one believes and feels. All things Yoda's Jedi Order forbid. Destroying the Jedi was the only way it could rise again with more honest believes, destroy the Sith and redeem Anakin. In the end Sideous destroyed the Sith twice! His attempts to get utter power, finally led to his death! First by his 'best friend' and second by his own granddaughter! All in the master plan for power!

Yea-same here but he’s just following along 🤷🏻‍♂️

You will probably cry if you learn he was afraid Luke would best him in the original novel that was Lucas canon. And even Lucas script said Luke was a match for Vader Yes,Vader was also stronger by Lucas and slightly stronger by another important writer but Luke was still close and in the same overall tier.

Vader's whole turn to dark side was out of fear of losing Padme and his children. Vader isn't afraid of battle, he's definitely afraid of what might happen to his loved ones.

Vader was terrified of loss, disorder and powerlessness. That’s why he turned to the dark side in the first place. His fear created the need for control, which led him to chase power, and his power gave him an outlet for his rage and self-hatred.

On a side note there are some things I don’t like about Star Wars and some things I do like about it I thought I’d just say that

I always felt like Vader cared about Luke which explains why he could never kill him but instead wanted Luke to join him and imo it explains why he could destroy Luke before Luke destroyed the first Death Star in ANH

Yes I really mean it he's he's amazing he does do great work and great videos he has my support I love his content

Well at that point in the lord Master Yoda had not died and he was unaware if Ben had taught him as a Jedi. Remember when he said Obi-wan had taught you well was on cloud city but Ben gave very very rudimentary training in Jedi way of combat. The only scene we get of this is on the millenium falcon on the way to alderan.

You could also argue the order Anakin destroyed was not in balance. That both Jedi and Sith were out of whack, and while the prophecy was correct, nobody's interpretation of what it would take to realize it was accurate. It also wasn't a good way to solve the problems, but it ultimately came to pass anyway.

@@TheMelnTeam Bro this was a month ago and yet I'm still thinking about it. I didn't even have to read my comment to know what we're talking about 😂 but yes that's basically what I believe. The Jedi has grown too complacent and the dogmatic ideals they had caused them to lose sight of things. Santayama says "A fanatic is one who redoubles his efforts, but loses sight of his goals." That's exactly what the Jedi did.

He also had visions of freeing the slaves on tatooine but that didn't happen

He trained for a whole year with Yoda bru

@nezarecdiscipleofthewitnes3823 versus a dude who is the literal "chosen one", whatever the f that means, who trained with a lightsaber since he was essentially an egg.

Well said. I feel like this applies to any film or book series that made a cultural impact of some kind.

sequels are shit

He thought he was very impressive and a master in his own right,in the novel he was actually worried he MIGHT be bested by his son and he said that Luke was perhaps more powerful than Anakin. Luke was slightly weaker than Vader but he was also on the same overall tier and a legit threat Vader was legitimately scared for his ego against Luke,both werent trying to kill each other and both were tempted by their opposites in the Force. Luke legit far surpassed him by tapping into the darkside

“You could use better choreography…I can give that to you, my son”

@@newhybrid101 u need mental help. luke in his prime isnt better than anakin at 9 lil bro. legends luke and rotj luke = fodder. any version of anakin no diffs fodder luke lmaoooooooooo gtfo w all that cap

@@calebmarte5102 you really don’t know how broken Legends Luke is, do you

Vader is a master of Form V. Luke was not a master of any lightsaber form since he was never taught any though he was naturally gifted…not as much as Vader though. The vision explains why Vader was defeated by Luke because he held back out of fear of his and Luke’s destiny.

Not really. Luke became more powerful cause he trained and studied His hand didnt make him weaker but based on statements it would cost him a VERY small bit of his potential
