him but there was one opponent in his life that returned the same fear the sith lord was known to bestow upon his victims. his name was stous sykes a survivor of one of the empire's.
In the Star Wars Universe, it's hard to deny Darth Vader's greatest enemy was the Jedi Order. Sure, he had enemies such as Qi'ra, the Crimson Dawn and Doctor Aphra. But few came close to truly defeating him, other than Obi-Wan Kenobi and in time, his son, Luke Skywalker.
Obi-Wan is forced to turn a light on when he is confronted with Vader, and not only because he's frozen with fear in the specter of death. This is the monstrous form of his failure and his hubris. This is the brother he once loved, and the “chosen one” hope of the Jedi.
Some time later, he faced the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Infil'a put up a fierce fight against Vader, almost killing him by throwing the already damaged Sith Lord off of a cliff. Despite severe damage to his suit, Vader survived the fall, and repaired himself with parts from Infil'a's droid, Arex.
It's never specified whether he was scared or not. But he was told to face his fears. So that may tie into that. In episode 5, he faced Vader when he wasn't even a Jedi Knight.
He wasn't supposed to kill Luke; he wasn't even supposed to beat Luke. Vader's only goal in the fight was to make Luke lose control of his emotions and bring him closer to the dark side -- and that's exactly what happened. Vader had to obey his master, so he goaded Luke until he touched the dark side.
Luke Skywalker
However, once Luke fully embraced his power in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, he proved that he was indeed stronger than Darth Vader and struck his father down.
1 Darth Sidious
There has been no Sith, as powerful, meticulous, nor as evil as the Emperor himself, Darth Sidious. As previously mentioned, Sidious trained in the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis before Sidious killed Plagueis in his sleep, making Sidious a Sith Master.
but how many total Jedi did he kill over the years? in canon, we can confirm that Vader killed at. least 22 Jedi during Operation Nightfall alone. most of these that we actually see were younglings, but he did kill several Masters, with the most notable being Shaq, Ti and Syndralic.
Anakin admits to Obi-Wan that he has been arrogant and unappreciative of his training, and apologizes to his master. Obi-Wan assures Anakin that he is proud of him, telling him that he has become a "far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be."
The added risk Darth Vader takes in allowing children to live in a situation where he could have killed them proves that he regrets killing Younglings and will avoid harming any more children for the rest of his days, though intense intimidation is a dark strategy to avoid repeating his Youngling massacre.
Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious
Villains like Kylo Ren and Darth Vader sometimes feel the pull to the light, but Darth Sidious, also known as Emperor Palpatine, is the embodiment of pure evil.
CT-5539, nicknamed "Hock Malsuum," was a clone trooper that was active during the Clone Wars and reported as dead, only to resurface during the early months of the Galactic Empire and join Darth Vader's 501st Legion of the Stormtrooper Corps.
It appeared that Darth Vader was more machine than we thought. His armor could be hacked and controlled by a device. In a turn of events, Darth Vader's right limb holding his dangerous scarlet lightsaber was moving of its own accord toward his neck. This was a dangerous weakness indeed.
Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience. He won pretty handily as well, as he was victorious in 89,756 of his 95,243 battles and had a win percentage of 94.2%.
According to Star Wars Legends content, the first Sith was a former Jedi Master, Ajunta Pall, who became a so-called Dark Jedi, or “Fallen” Jedi. As the name implies, these Force-sensitives chose to practice the Dark Side, and rejected the Light Side of the Force.
Aside from agility and telekinesis, Yoda could absorb and redirect Force attacks, like lightning. Because of his higher understanding, he would easily overcome Darth Vader in a fight, though that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a difficult battle.
Biography. Legend had it that Yoda—a Jedi who became Grand Master—was trained by N'Kata Del Gormo.
As Darth Vader, Skywalker was believed to have had roughly eight-tenths of the strength of the Emperor. Nevertheless, Vader wielded tremendous power and skill, enough to use the Force to overpower almost any opponent he could not defeat with his lightsaber.
Obi-Wan knew it was only a matter of time. So, he made the difficult decision to use his learnings and become one with the force, rather than let Vader decapitate him.
TIL Luke actually cried when Vader died : r/StarWars.
