Uhh. Godzilla? Predator? Terminator? Halloween?
those bad guys play the same role as vader has in the star wars movies. i thought we were talking about something else.

I just think a movie where Vader is the one-dimensional unstoppable killer could be done successfully just as those examples show. I haven't watched R1, but although he plays one of the main baddies in the OT, the main antagonistic felt like the Empire until the Emporer came along.

I don't think it's canon anymore but it has been written that every time Vader let him down, he had to slice a piece of himself off. That's why so much of him was a machine at the end. No matter how good a job he did, Palpatine played such mind games with him that Vader felt he always disappointed him. Like he was always letting his father down. Can't remember where I read that, tho.

There are a few YouTube videos out there about this that seem based on Legends. I mean, some of it you can draw from visuals, like the fact that his armor limits his ability to lift his hands over his shoulders. My grandma has that problem. My aunt has to come over and wash her hair for her a couple of times a week. Probably makes you a pussy when fighting your old apprentice.
But then there's stuff like using the wrong, weaker alloy for his limbs. And who the fuck would know that. Sounded made up.
