His biggest weakness was his conflicted nature never truly giving himself to neither the dark or light sides of the force

[GGBlaster]

3:21 The Jedi, particularly in the Clone Wars, taught more emotional suppression than control. The Sith taught to channel emotions and use them to accomplish great feats.

As an aside, this same reasoning led me to believe that Maul never actually wanted to kill Kenobi (post-Phantom Menace) because doing so would rid him of a rich source of anger that fuels his power.

[SlimothyNate]

A hurt, broken man will lash out like a wounded dog. Vader/ Anakin really had nothing to lose and nothing to live for other than serving his master. Dependency on direction, I’d say was his weakness

[chadflanaganCFC]

Vader's weakness being grief and regret makes perfect sense, as even if it's a negative emotion grief is a byproduct of love, as is regret a weakness as he's not embracing who he is, he's wallowing about who he was.

[Gor]

I agree. Sidious wanted Vader to learn, to be stronger. Vader had mental issues, blocks. He couldn't advance.Grief was main obstacle. Padme, Obi-wan, Jedi, those were main obstacles. He never learned what Jedi taught him-to let go. Great analysis. May the Force be with you

[DMBLaan]

Sidious' description of channeling ones anger properly vs lashing out in blind rage sounds like the philosophy of Darth Marr

[CruelandCold]

It's sand because it's coarse, rough and it gets everywhere

[davidsmith]

Darth Vader was between two worlds. Light & Dark. He wasn’t truly evil. But angry with what has happened not only to him. But to Padme.

[andrewmah]

Palpatine - "Stop killing my officers!!"

[questx]

The man had many weaknesses, unfortunately. Maybe none more than his arrogance. It cost him his body and health. He was also emotionally and mentally fragile. Plenty of raw power he had but unfortunately he lacked the emotional and mental stability to truly harness all that power.

[gymthink]

I bet sidious wasn't thinking that when a one armed Vader picked him up & took him on a slow walk to a shafts while tanking his best lightening 😂

[dr.bright]

Palpatine: Lord Vader, can you hear me?
Vader: what'd you say?

[Imaneedtreefitty]

This is probably one of my favorite videos you have made . Much love from Texas

[jakeolenickii]

This really mirrors the flaws of both the light and dark side of the force. While they have very clear differences, they have some interesting and albeit uncomfortable similarities. Both involve encouraging to let go in order to make the person in their own image.

[disneyknightspadilla]

Grievous: your weaknesses that not only you can’t stand an EMP as I, how many lives can you protect than yours especially for those who are in your heart?

[chrishansel]

I feel like you have your voice volume and quality in a good place. DONT CHANGE ANYTHING!

[hibs]

His biggest weakness is a kid running up and button mashing the control unit on the front of his suit.

[TheAncientSith]

His greatest weakness is his feelings of love for Padme. Same for what he once was where he just wanted to live with his wife and children in peace but all of that went horribly wrong for him.

[joshuahenderson]

You know what’s crazy Vader tried to teach Galen Marek aka Starkiller that same lesson abt forgetting and letting go so his apprentice backfired on him jus as he backfired on Sidious so it’s a domino affect

[mr.boomguy]

I love the Irony of how simular or reversed the Sith idiology is to the Jedi.
Like letting go will give you power, by feeling regret will weaken you.
If the Jedi bothered to understand the dark side, they could teach their padawans and younglings what to look out for and be aware of the concequenses. It would demystify the dark side like these videos does with me, and they would probably be less tempted, if at all to go down that dark path.
