Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
I don't know how, it seemed clear that Vader was a shell of his actual power. He looked like a defeated, decrepit old man in RotJ, and that should've been enough indication. Episode 3 Vader was the strongest Jedi of all of the films
i mean they didn't show this "greater power than master yoda" in the first 3 anyway... dude lost head up to obi won...

then in 4, he beats obi straight up, in 6 he kills the emperor, in 5 he beats a young luke head up... i mean i see he was SLOWER.. but less powerful really doesn't come off until dude said so above.... that was never alluded to in the movies... if anything, they didn't even have the backstory of him being most powerful and losing power until the prequels... so why would they know to show that in 4-6

Best scene in the movie emotionally was that moment of silence when Anakin's is trying to fight being pulled back to the emperor and he has that quiet connection with Padme right before he gives up and decides to go to him. You could cut the tension with a knife there. I watched it in a theater and a little girl screamed out "Anakin, don't do it!" :sadcam:

The disaster could have been averted :snoop:

For all that fly shyt anakin was on he wasnt shyt compared to OBi Wan

Obi-Wan was a master of a defensive style of fighting. Dude's main focus in every fight was to just halt progress. Obi was also WISER than Anakin, all the skill in the world can get trumped by some one who has flat out more experience....plainly evidenced by the "high ground".

Chosen One =/= Strongest. Palpatine, Yoda, Mace and to some extent Obi-Wan were all stronger than Anakin at the time. Anakin had the largest upside to his Jedi game though. Dude was still only like 21 at the time. Had he had more time with a proper QB coach and a good offensive line dude woulda been unfukkwithable.

Is that when they're both looking out onto the city? Might be the best scene in the whole PT

there is no evidence whatsoever that suggests hayden christensen's character would mature into the elegant, classy james earl jones. they don't even talk the same.
There were several lines given to Christenson to directly coincide with Vaders style of speech from the OT IMO.
Off the top of my head,


"Don't make me kill you"

"I'm more powerful than the Chancelor, we can overthrow him"

"This is the end for you, my master"

"Jedi busines, go back to your drinks"

"I MUST GO, master"

as crazy as this is about to sound but I think this was just dudes interpretation of what a Sith is...

Part of being a Sith is about being sort of a whirlwind of emotion. Embracing sorrow, anger, fear, dread and whatnot, using it to fuel your powers. While Jedi are all about being tranquil and being at peace with the force even in battle. I kinda like that Palpatine is cool and collected when doing anything BUT fighting...

I'd say it's more of a case of Ian McDiarmid hamming it up and Lucas' poor direction
