that's cause in ANH vader is more of an attack dog for the empire. he had authority but ultimately everyone answered to tarkin.

in ESB on the super star destroyer vader was the one in charge and he was allowed to choke muthafukkas as he saw fit.

Then the battle where they tried to arrest Palpatine. They wasted so much potential for an epic fight scene.
Man I was sooo disappointed with that scene. Here it is you got two powerful form seven masters going head to head, and they came up with that struggle ass fight? I know he was supposed to die, but that fight was supposed to showcase Windu's ability as a swordsman, and made Sidious look totally beatable. Dooku looked like a better swordsman than Sidious in those flicks. That Windu novel Shatterpoint....:banderas:. That's a good ass book that shows just how hard he really was. That would've made a good movie.

I've heard a lot of good things about shatterpoint :wow: is it worth reading even though legends is no longer "canon"?

IMO, I think anything under the legends banner is still worth reading just for the sheer entertainment. There were some damn good books from the Thrawn trilogy, all the way to the Fate Of The Jedi series. I also most of the stuff not considered cannon will somehow weave it's way in, with the obvious exception of the Solo kids, Luke being married, and Chewie getting killed.

They did that in the Clone Wars show by having Darth Bane appear. His entire story is now cannon as a result. Shatterpoint though is a damn good book because like I said earlier, it showcases Windu's power, gives more depth to Depa Billaba, and shows just how dark and how much of mental toll the Clone Wars took on the Jedi. Highly recommend it.

The book Rise Of Darth Vader sheds some light on it. After Obi Wan fukked him up, he was useless to Sidious, so Sidious basically treated him as his enforcer. They had separate ships and would be on different parts of the galaxy at any given time. If he wanted Vader, he would send for him. Sidious even designed that suit to keep Vader in check. His mobility was shot, and with the control panel to his respirator, all Sidious had to do is reach out with the force to kill Vader if he started some shyt. He even told him that shyt. The Imperial officers only obeyed Vader in order to not piss Sidious off. They didn't respect Vader a whole lot.
Well damn

Appreciate the reply, definitely going to check it out this summer (US winter).

And yeah numerous aspects of the legends canon could still be used, partly used or revamped going forward. There's a lot of quality content available. Bane appearing was dope. He had too good an established canon to pass up.
Darth Talon or a Darth Talon like character appearing would be :noah:

By the way have you seen any of the "journey to the force awakens" novels? Specifically Aftermath?

I chalk this up to Episode 4 being the first Star Wars movie made and Lucas didn't have the whole story mapped out at that time. He wasn't even sure if he was going to make a sequel. That's the only rational explanation.

Hell, there's a huge difference between Vader's authority in the first film versus the rest of the original trilogy. In the sequels, everyone is scared shytless just to be around Vader. In the first one, he's clearly a high-ranking member and is well-respected but that's it. People aren't scared to death of him.

Well Tarkin was dead in ANH so it left Vadar as head of the military.

plus, and this is the worst part, once episode 3 is over... anakin KNOWS the emperor is lying! he KNOWS he's been duped! padme died! you turned JUST so you can save her! now that she's dead and this evil dude has clearly revealed himself to be a hoax, why haven't you chopped his fukking head off yet!?!?
Thing is, Anakin knew the Emperor was lying BEFORE the end of the movie. Palpatine told Anakin straight up that he can save Padme. Then after Anakin pledges himself to Palpatine, he now says that cheating death is a "secret" he doesn't actually know. He knew the emperor was full of shyt RIGHT AFTER he joined him.

Revan was supposed to be in that episode too, but got scrapped at the last minute. That would have been:blessed:. I actually slacked off aftet finishing the Legacy Of The Force series. I need to get up on The Fate Of The Jedi series. From what I read about it, shyt gets really real in that one. Now are the ones you mentioned lead ins to the movie? Either way, gotta check those out too. I didn't want to read any more after Disney scrapped the EU cuz I felt they shytted on yhe authors and the real fans just to make another movie. Respect for the daps too homie:myman::salute:

Haha same, I was about 4-5 books into FOTJ before stopping, but I did read the wookieepedia entries for the events of the rest of the series when they came out. It was :wtf: by the end of it. And yeah the ones I mentioned are Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens most them came out a few weeks ago, aftermath deals with the 'aftermath' (:heh:) of Endor, and some its events relate to the new trilogy.

My phone made me lose the quote but Anakin did fulfill the prophecy and balanced the Force when he turned on Palpatine in ROTJ. The same emotion that turned him dark made him choose his son over the Emperor...love.

Qui-Gonn (who believed in the Living Force) was right about him.

For those who say Anakin's turn wasn't realistic, what should they have done?
Movie was good, saw it in theaters. Main things i didn't like was how the fight scenes were not as good as they could have been. Obi Wan vs General Grievous was a joke and GG went down too fast. Dude just started hacking off arms and shyt like he was a scrub. Then the battle where they tried to arrest Palpatine. They wasted so much potential for an epic fight scene. They should've shown some type of matrix effects to show how outmatched they were against him. But no, instead he just rushes in and like 3 guys fall over dead. So lame. The yoda vs palpatine fight was better but yoda went out like a complete bytch. Had i been the director, once palpatine started throwing those senate pods, i would've had yoda deflect that shyt and then just cause the walls to start caving in on some boss shyt. They should have made that THE fight of the entire series but it was like all the other ones. That whole fight should have had like an earthquake effect the entire time or something like that to show that they were both straining so hard to overcome the other. Like imagine if two powerful psychics were trying to use their abilities on each other, they would be straining so hard that the room and shyt would be shaking and shyt would be flying all over the place. It was good, but not as good as it could have been. Not even excited at all for the next one.
As far as Grievous he was stronger in the Clone Wars series getting his ribs crushed fukked him up (hence the cough) the other fights should've been more though
Man I was sooo disappointed with that scene. Here it is you got two powerful form seven masters going head to head, and they came up with that struggle ass fight? I know he was supposed to die, but that fight was supposed to showcase Windu's ability as a swordsman, and made Sidious look totally beatable. Dooku looked like a better swordsman than Sidious in those flicks. That Windu novel Shatterpoint....:banderas:. That's a good ass book that shows just how hard he really was. That would've made a good movie.
Dooku was renowned for his swordsmanship
