0:55 “Darth Vader specifically built Vader’s suit to be super conductive to electricity […]”

Wow. Vader just had to give himself a weakness.

[ericokonkwo]

Imagine if Vader secretly behind the emperor's back made upgrades to his suit that where actually healing/rebuilding his deformed injuries/limps. Vader actually does know how to use force lighting but doesn't use it because of the stipulation added by the Emperor in his suit, so he waits until he is fully healed and doesn't need the suit anymore! Vader also has been planning a surprise ambush attack with certain storm troopers who he knows are only loyal to him, so he can overthrow the Sidious.

1:37. If Darth Maul can survive being cut in half and was able draw up on the dark side and the force to stay alive until he was prepared then Anakin could have did the same thing by being taken off of life support momentarily to get into a much better suit etc..

This example right here is what makes me believe that Vader was very powerful however he was mentally broken.. It made him very weak .

One of the coolest things I have heard Vader do was when he asked tarkin to hunt him and tarkin was in a very quiet area with some species that had enhanced hearing and tarkin felt safe thinking that they would hear Vader breathing, but Vader turned off his respirator and basically is dieing during the time and tarkin only figered this out when he realized that most of the hearing enhanced beings where gone with no trace.

“This is where the Lore begins!”

[Longchain]

The amount of lore I've learnt from this one channel is great. Always interesting, always quality. Have a blessed day/night one and all.

[h.l-a]

is it just me, or did anyone else notice the blooper ? xD

"fact number 7, its weakness to force lightning. starting with the now relatively common fact Darth Vader has specifically built Vaders suit to be super conductive for electricity."

[jermf]

That was pretty cool and interesting. I think every kid growing up always wondered what those buttons on the chest plate did

[zippo]

Even tho Anakin/Darth Vader did unforgivable things and did this to himself, I can’t help feeling sorry for what he is going through 😔

[LovesCoffee]

I love how we as fans love to go deep with the lore. So intresting how my opinion of vader went from cool armor to dude is in a walking iron lung.

[Demigod_scrub]

His rage, pain, and hatred has made very powerful. Even with the suit's setbacks.

[mikethompson]

It seems strange that a suit control system using the tongue was used when it should be easy to have the suit controlled using verbal commands. Some modern fighters, the French Rafael, has that feature.

1. Caused rage brain
2. Made Vader feel like a piece of sh*t
3. By making him TALLER, a not so subtle hint to make sure you HAVE THE HIGH GROUND at ALL TIMES.
4. Everyone knows it's YOU and that you are roughly a QUARTER MILE from surprising them.
5. As long as you stay behind Vader, he has peripheral vision, and apparently, no BACK UP CAMERA.
6. Control panel placement made switching to disco helicopter powerf*ck mode very cumbersome.
7. Good luck having a drink 🤣🤣🤣
8. Intermittently plays a Muzak version of Enter Sandman with little to no warning.
9. Everything is echoey and muffled so you appear stoic, reserved, and menacing when your sweating so bad there's a river run down your asscrack, you really can't hear what the f*ck Palpatine's droning on about now, and you honestly just want to hang out in your bacta tank like the sad, pathetic, no legged, one armed freak you truly are.
10. Everytime you initially wake up you are painfully reminded that you have no legs, no penis, and your bladder is a catheter bag... that leaks, because Uncle Palpy is a cheap dick...

[stevencahn]

Sounds good but there maybe a problem regarding the "indestructiblty" of Vader's right glove...
Wasn't the the hand that Luke severed in ROTJ Vader's right hand? I guess his right glove wasn't as impervious as Vader thought.
EDIT - I just watched a clip of the final fight between Vader & Luke and confirmed that yes, it was Vader's right hand that he chopped off.

[letstalkaboutstarwars]

I think it's cool how palpatine tried to give starkiller vader-like armor in the bad ending for TFU 1

[jadeblack]

I'd love to hear more about his heads up display and the more software aspects of the suit.

Getting around the 1970’s buttons is the hardest suspension of disbelief one I struggle with. 😂 no matter the reason, it looks silly in modern times. Still the coolest outfit and villain of all time practically. As a kid I wanted the helmet so bad but they were always so expensive back in the 80’s/early 90’s. Since you’re subbed to this channel, you’ve all probably heard the physical actors voice and lines before he was dubbed over but if you haven’t, don’t do it! You can’t unhear it. 😅

Despite the armor's tech was obsolete, it was a Sith alchemy project and the only thing which could keep in alive out of a bacta tank. The extremely painfull adaptation to the suit and its limitations only kept him more connected to the dark side, forcing him to focus and use the force constantly, which made him a lot more strong with the force. In a way, the pain and limitations of the suit only made his anger, rage and focus turn him into a better Sith. Plus he was one of the best swordsman in the galaxy, so adapting his combat style with the lightsaber to a low paced combat resorting to manipulating the environment around him with the force was quite easy and instictive for him.

Even though the suit brough so many fisical limitations, it made him become a lot more strong with the force in the early days of the Empire embracing his emotions and connecting with the dark side.

You're one of it not my FAVORITE SW YouTuber. You content is so incredibly interesting, fun and informative. Thank you for everything and I can't wait to see what's in store for the future!

Very interesting about the amulet. I never knew about it, or it’s indestructible nature.
