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

DELETED Vader vs Luke Scene in Force Awakens Image Leaked - Star Wars News Explained: deleted scene from The Force Awakens would have shown us Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader from an all new angle on Bespin's Cloud City.

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

Let me Explain the Obi-Wan and Mace Windu Deleted Scene: In the book Star Wars Archives Prequels 1999-2005, there's some concept art from a deleted scene with Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The dialogue in this scene, I believe could have changed a lot of things in Star Wars in regards to alerting the Jedi of Anakin and Padme's relationship (as if it wasn't clear enough). This would leave no room to ignore the fact that they didn't know what Skywalker's future might look like given his emotional range that was quite evident. Do you think this scene would have been good to leave in the film? Or perhaps you are happy they deleted it? by Star Wars Theory
