How Vader Could Have Survived - Star Wars Explained: in Return of the Jedi, Darth Vader eventually lets go of his rage and anger and allows Anakin Skywalker to die.

I Bought Anakin Skywalker's Lightsaber Master Replicas 2005: Today let's unbox a new addition to my collection: Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber from Star Wars The Revenge of the Sith by Master Replicas. This was crafted in 2005 back when George Lucas owned Star Wars and Revenge of the Sith was released in theatres. Revenge of the Sith is my favourite Star Wars movie as it shows the final moment of Anakin Skywalker's journey as he transitions into Darth Vader. His pivotal decision to save Padme at the advice of Palpatine was what ultimately killed her and locked his future into the palms of Darth Sidious. That is...until his son, Luke Skywalker would come to save him. by Star Wars Theory

Is Darth Vader More Powerful Than Anakin Skywalker? (In-Depth Analysis) - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars, Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one, or so the prophecy lead the Jedi to believe…and we know that Darth Vader was half man half machine after his duel on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith to Obi-Wan Kenobi…severing his connection to the force severely with his lost limbs and burned body. Once Palpatine revived him and put him into the machined body that we know Darth Vader came to be in...just who was more powerful? Now it's hard to say, as Anakin Skywalker never got to see his full potential, however we can examine Vader's peak performance next to Anakin's just before Obi-Wan Kenobi destroyed him. We'll examine lightsaber fighting styles (Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan and Count Dooku), force powers, and everything in between in this episode of Star Wars Theory. by Star Wars Theory

Why Darth Vader Was WEAK Against Luke in Return of the Jedi - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Return of the Jedi we get the final fight between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. We've seen Vader in Rogue One, we know his wrath and power, so why was he so weak against Luke in both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi? Could Luke defeating Vader be what he means in Star Wars The Last Jedi? Will this be how he defeats Snoke? Will he even fight Snoke? I hope we see Kylo burn the temple, it would be cool to see Luke get angry from that (if he does). by Star Wars Theory
