Although Rogue One is coming in close at second…
I love that Disney’s portrayal of him is that he’s an absolute unstoppable force and no one stands a chance against him. All they can really hope to do is run away.

I complain about games being too easy very often. The Cere fight in Survivor was HARD. It took me many, many, many tries to beat. The only way I was able to do it was to memorize his moves and which ones have openings at what times.

Oggdo Boggdo is the only thing in Survivor I haven’t completed yet. It’s absolute fucking bullshit.

I just cranked the difficulty to story mode for that fight after enough attempts. We get it, he’s a badass, let me enjoy the rest of the game now.
At least that was an option, as opposed to that one Batman game with the Deathstroke fight that I’ve simply never progressed through.
Except in Kenobi.
Rogue One was the first time I feel like we got to see Vader as properly terrifying. That was my favorite appearance of his until Jedi: Fall Order came out, and omfg he is even scarier in that one. I love scary Vader.
Kenobi was hit and miss. There were moments like when he had Kenobi backed into a corner, then Kenobi lit a fire between them and escaped, like Vader couldn’t deal with that? I feel like he would have like parted the flames or tried to pull Kenobi into them or something. He just let him go, but then we see him indiscriminantly killing people in the streets and it’s like, “okay, there he is.”

If we’re being honest, so many fights could be easily won by simply force crushing someone’s skull or something. But that wouldn’t be an interesting fight.
It’s just hard to suspend disbelief when we’ve already seen him strangle someone through Zoom.
lol that’s a fair point.
hahaha that was hilarious. “Okay guys, you heard him. We’re gonna let Obi Wan slowly get away.”
Kenobi
But only parts of the portrayal. The absolute menacing figure walking through the streets killing at a whim was easily the best representation of prime Vader, but that broke down the longer the episode went.
Each episode of Kenobi, and the show as a whole, seemed like it started with a great idea that just got worse the more they drew it out. Anytime I rewatch it, I skip through any scene that isn’t mostly Vader or Anakin / Vader and Obi-Wan.
Just give me a PG-13 or MA-rated miniseries - that isn’t afraid to test the limits - about Vader in his prime. I want to see “All I’m surrounded by are dead men,” energy on screen.
Wasn’t there a guy who turned the series into a movie by remastering it into a 1h30m video. I think I bookmarked that on my Reddit account before Lemmy was around ( or before the whole fuck spez thing anyway. Lemmy has been around longer than that ).
Please link it if you happen to find it again!
I think it was this one ( quick Google search ) https://www.kaipattersonfilms.com/kenobi
Edit: it’s 2.5h
Edit 2: I haven’t seen it, so I don’t even know if it’s any good. I’m not associated with or receive any benefit by linking it here.
I saw it, and not the series. 7.5/10
Vader always knew how to strut
When he showed up in Rogue One… omfg!
That’s the Vader we saw in 1977. R1 showed Vader unleash the pent-up violence he was clearly capable of in the originals.
Dude was scary as hell back then. Even through ROJ, when he lights up Luke’s lightsaber at the Endor base, there was a hushed gasp.
Robot Chicken Vader.
“Uhhgg. I bet you smell like feet wrapped in burnt bacon.”
“When I Left You, I Was But The Learner. Now, I Am The Master.”
Should have used the scene in Rebels where Vader’s on top of the tie fighter as he enters the sith temple to fight with Ezra.
Definitely fallen order for me, not quite as much survivor. There was something terrifying about “oh shit Vader is here? And he just casually tossed Cere? And now we’re fighting him? Wait, where’s his health bar?” And then you just get crushed.
rogue one mostly cuz it’s my favorite movie of the more recent films
The Kenobi series one, because he acts the most threatening. The other ones make him feel like a plush toy

Is holiday special still canon
Vader in Jedi Survivor 2 is a massive asshole… It’s fantastic that you know how to beat him, there’s only one good method, yet I have spent hours trying. This is the way. Vader should be almost impossible yet clearly not.
I’ll just stick to the original
