[StarWarsTheory]

What's your favourite fact that I did or didn't mention?!

[elppaeniP]

“Lord Vader, why are you so furious?”

“I’m itchy”

[spellweavergeneziso]

Fact number 11: The device on Vader's chest is an MP3 player that plays Imperial March whenever Darth Vader appears on the screen. <3

[Hippienolic]

11: made him tall so he always has the high ground

[GameplayUploaded]

The scene where he asked luke to remove the helmet so he could see his son with his own eyes in exchange for his life left me crying. Damn feels.

[nitereeper]

Darth Vader: wears a mask because he can’t live without it
Kylo ren: wears one to sound cool

[thatboy]

palpatine: *makes sure vader is always angry*
Vader: *kills palpatine*

[krudz]

"Vader, why are you so angry?"


"i haven't been able to scratch my arse in years"

[breadsandwich]

I love that the suit is designed to make him as uncomfortable as possible but it makes sure he doesn't get cold or sweaty... (also if palatine really wanted to drive him mad, him he would have added sand inside the suit...)

[MrMallNinja]

“Shoulder armor was so heavy that it made it difficult for him to raise his saber”

“Suit gave him super human strength, lifting a human over his head was no problem”

....uhhh wut?

[mrandersen]

I mean, the fact that he couldn't even lift his lightsaber above his head without immense difficulty, and then lift Palpatine over his head and throw him down a pit really shows how much he had turned in RotJ.

[Geenoi]

Anakin: Loses hands
Luke: Loses hand
Leia: Loses han

[lunarlakes]

As someone with eczema, I can attest to itchiness being one of the causes of Vader's rage lmao

[yodumb]

1:41 'he had baths in tanks as he floated around as a torso'
Yeah, while two royal guards watch him like weirdos.

[lennartgimm]

"10 facts you didn't know", number 1, "as many of you know"

[canedo]

He may not have liked the suit, but the whole no sand thing was probably what kept him on palpatines side

[lachlanroche]

Love how part of the suits design is to make him really uncomfortable but has a built in aircon and can also keep out sand

[salami_tommi]

Another fun fact: his suit was purposely made extremely vulnerable to palpatine's force electricity in case Vader ever tried to overpower him. And lo and behold....

[ehmehsmeh]

Vaders mouth: "Just for once, let me look at you with my own eyes."

Vaders brain: "My ass has been itching for 19 years, take the damn mask off so I can die already!"

[grahamw]

Vader: I killed Palpatine
Snoke: Why?
Vader: My suit was really itchy that day
Snoke: 😑
