Yes, most Imperials were terrified of Darth Vader as the Emperor's brutal enforcer, but some high-ranking officers, especially on the Death Star, grew complacent or bold due to his mysterious nature and Palpatine's overall command, leading them to challenge him, though they quickly learned to fear him again after he demonstrated his power, notes YouTube. Vader commanded respect through fear, and while many feared his unpredictable rage, others sought proximity to him for the prestige and power it offered within the Empire's hierarchy, according to a YouTube video.
Fett respected Vader's power, but he never feared the Sith Lord.
In canon it was Kirak Infil'a , Cere Junda, Obi-Wan and Lord Momin . All messed him up quite badly with Kirak winning round 1 but losing round 2 and Momin cutting off his arm. Obi-Wan actually beat Vader. In Legends it was Shaa Koon, An'ya Kuro, a clone of Maul and Galen Marek.
Though there was some debate among the fans that Anakin Skywalker's son, Luke Skywalker, was actually the Chosen One since he caused his father to destroy Darth Sidious, the debate was settled when George Lucas himself confirmed in an interview that Anakin, even after becoming Darth Vader, was still officially the ...
The saddest Star Wars deaths often involve tragic heroism, lost potential, or poignant goodbyes, with popular choices including Duchess Satine (Obi-Wan's lost love), Clone Force 99's Tech (self-sacrifice for family), Kanan Jarrus (heroic sacrifice for Hera and Ezra), Padmé Amidala (fading hope for Anakin), Han Solo (betrayed by his son), and Clone Trooper 99 (innocent, selfless heroism). These deaths resonate due to their emotional impact, the characters' significance, or the broken promises they represent.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's father; Anakin had no biological father, being born of the Force itself in response to Plagueis's dark side manipulations, with Palpatine's tales of Plagueis's power over life being a manipulation to turn Anakin to the dark side, though Plagueis's attempts to create life did inadvertently cause Anakin's conception.
Surprisingly, Vader had no idea that Leia was, in fact, his daughter. Despite his interrogation of Leia, the Sith Lord still hadn't discovered that he was related to the princess. In contrast, Vader sensed his connection to Luke Skywalker almost immediately.
Vader breaks free of the operating table and takes a few steps before doing the only thing anybody in his position could do, he screams an unholy, bloodcurdling scream. His vocal computer has nothing close to this sound in its database so it translates it to the infamous 'Noooooooooo'.
The human race was seen as one. The empire was 'racist' or xenophobic to aliens and anyone who wasn't a human. In the canon we see this very clearly when Thrawn entered the empire. Eli Vanto explained that it was because of the separatists being mostly non humans, so they were vilified.
Anakin Skywalker, once the prophesied Chosen One, fell to the dark side through fear, pride, loss, and manipulation. His bond with Padmé, mistrust of the Jedi Council, and belief in Palpatine's promises led to his tragic transformation into Darth Vader.
Tarkin probably outranked Thrawn since he was a Grand Moff (a political rank) whereas Thrawn was a Grand Admiral (military rank).
Revenge of the Sith
Palpatine explains that Plagueis was so powerful and wise, he had mastered the dark side of the Force to such an extent that he could cheat death (mostly saving people he cared about from death) and create life; unnatural abilities which are unknown to the Jedi.
In Star Wars lore, Order 37 was a grim Clone Trooper contingency plan to capture a wanted individual (often a Jedi) by taking a civilian population hostage, locking down the area, and threatening mass execution if the target wasn't surrendered, making it a horrific tactic used by the Empire to force Jedi compliance. It was considered more brutal than Order 66 because it targeted civilians directly, forcing Jedi to often turn themselves in to save innocent lives, as seen on planets like Bellassa.
Imo, only EU Luke, Mace Windu, Emperor Valkorion, and Darth Krayt are pretty much the only people who stand a chance against a Sidious. Anyone else is simply inferior either in lightsaber combat or force ability. Had Anakin had more time to master the dark and light sides without becoming Vader, then he would win.
The answer, revealed in Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, rewrote much of what we thought we knew. Rey is the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious or Sheev Palpatine—not through a traditional lineage, but through a failed clone named Dathan, Rey's father.
What makes Harry explicitly the chosen one in the books is 3 things, 1) Voldemort chose him that night to be the chosen one and decided to kill him and his family personally to avoid the prophecy, 2) Harry and Neville actually talked this out and Harry chose to take the possible responsibility off of Neville and to be ...
A: Anakin brought balance to the force by balancing out power between the two sides, which Palps manipulated to gain control.
By joining with Darth Sidious and becoming Darth Vader, Anakin actually fulfilled his destiny as the chosen one. By destroying the Jedi, he did balance the Force. Only a couple Sith survived because of the rule of two, and a few groups of dark siders like the Nightsisters of Dathomir.
