Obi-Wan really took everything from Vader on mustafar: the lightsaber of his dreams, his wife, his limbs and his potential no wonder he was obsessed with hunting him down

Hell last time I checked Darth Vader hates everything

[vseegobi]

I can summarize this 4 min ramble in 1 sentence. "Despite his efforts to craft a powerful and elegant lightsaber, Vader had to build a long clumsy one for his fat robot hands."

[knytrydr]

Hating his own weapon while fighting just made him more powerful in combat

[macwelch]

I always thought that Darth Sidious designed Darth Vader’s lightsaber, as a sick way to torment him. Both Anakin’s and Vader’s lightsabers are nearly identical

[Runzwithscissorz]

DAMNIT DARTH WHY DO YOU HATE EVERTHING!

[isaiasvalladares]

Vader: I don’t like my saber....It’s coarse, it’s rough...and the red blade gets the blood everywhere.

This dude repeats the same thing over and over and it’s really annoying because this dude repeats the same thing over and over and it’s really annoying because this dude repeats the same thing over and over and it’s really annoying because this dude repeats the same thing over and over and it’s really annoying because this dude repeats the same thing over and over

I don't think I could ever use the word "elegance" describing Anakin's fighting style. Powerful and acrobatic, yes but definitely not elegant or graceful. Dooku was elegant, Yoda was masterful with a power generated from his agility, Qui Gon was graceful, and Obi Wan was pure economy of motion-no wasted movements, just what was needed to block, deflect, counter.

I’m surprised they couldn’t just make him a smaller cybernetic hand lmao

I've actually been enjoying these new additions to Darth Vader's story.

[Tempusverum]

The lightsaber, the lightsaber made by Vader, the lightsaber specifically designed for Vader, Vader’s lightsaber. That lightsaber?”

[Ally.Cat.]

His lightsaber looks stupidly uncomfortable just like anakins.

[levodaro]

Because it was partially made of sand.

[arthurratliff]

So basically he made a rendition of his attack of the clones version

[SWDude]

I quite like how his new lightsaber looks almost exactly like the one he constructed as Anakin Skywalker, although it has several differences, most notably that big black shaft at the top of the blade hilt which replaces the shaft in his original hilt.

[jduttskywalker]

Well that's strange when you think about it. Vader's lightsaber may not have had the design he imagined, but he did succeed in what he was trying to build. Vader's saber looked like the weapon of a very powerful dark warrior. A weapon that that instilled fear in his enemies. If a Jedi were to hold Vader's lightsaber they would probably feel the darkness within it.
