Is Darth Vader REALLY That STRONG?! | The SCIENCE of... Star Wars

"perhaps I was wrong"

@A-K Drawing 'N' Stuff Oh I thought YOU were wrong until I realized you were correcting the second "then." You are correct.

@A-K Drawing 'N' Stuff its then because " then somebody gonna die" so it is related to time, and isnt a comparison.

My favourite Vader quote is:
Rebel Army: Surrender Darth Vader! You are surrounded!
Vader: All I'm surrounded by is fear. And dead men.

@@hulyasagr5862 wouldn’t that imply that he has to be strong enough to push back some of the water to not crush them?

There's a force technique that enhances the body.somthing yoda uses himself,and jedi are already very durable.

@@hulyasagr5862 obviusly the force explains everything, but still. The main reason divers need equipment when going deep, isn't much the oxygen, but the pressure equalizer. The amount of air you take on the surface would make you EXPLODE at that level in the sea, let alone the increased gravity. If we assume human anatomy is "realistic", his lungs can withstand mortar blast to his chest without troubles.

@@juliofranciscogomezstoppel1860 the thing is, because humans are mostly water, we don't actually compress too much from pressure, as long as our air source is pressurized to match, so only a little force powered bodily reinforcement and it's reasonable that he wouldn't be immediately crushed

Well compared to him, barely anyone from proper stories does.

This is a bit past it, so he's still got it!

Blake Campbell maybe a sixteenth of the Death Star in one chunk.

Vader was in his prime during this moment. The lack of limbs does not hamper a force users ability Sidious noted that Vader's powers were limited not because of his injuries but because of Vader's psychological problems and had fully believed that should Vader ever fully confront his choices and completely shake himself out of his despair, he could fully regain the incredible powers he had as the Chosen One. In the expanded universe we see many sith loose limbs or severe injuries and continue to be just as terrifying examples would be darth maul and darth malgus

Jon-John Pinckney no it is implied that Anakin lost a very large amount of mediclorian after his fight with obi-wan. Which mean that if he didn’t lose and stuff, he would’ve been the strongest star war character ever

I’ll take that motivation to do something!
I’ll watch another video!!!

In canon he hadn't lost his potential, only physical abilities were alternated. Canon Vader>Legends Vader

being the chosen one kind of does that

@@auditor7613 Well I mean Lucas did say Anakin would have at his full potential been at the least twice as powerful in Legends than Sidious. And Sidious in Legends was able to create force storms which could create some sort of force blackhole that could swallow planets potentially,as well as large fleets, and Anakin as Vader could have been just under 20% of what Sidious was so I'd say he might have been just if not more powerful than Canon Vader.

@@bencobey9973 I understand your logic, but Lucas's statement meant that Vader is 80 percent of Sidious from Revenge of the Sith, and not from Episode 6 or the Dark Empire. And this means that the only correct way to compare two versions (to one of which Lucas's statement doesn’t mean anything) is to compare their feats. Due to feats Canon Vader>Legends Vader.

@@auditor7613 OK I'll concede that in feats Canon Vader surpasses the legends Vader. What my argument was more based of is what he could've likely did and not what he actually managed to do. Also in Rotj Vader was only in his mid 40s or so, so he likely only reached around 50-60% of the 80% that he could've reached, so what I'm getting at is Legends Vader could've likely been able to be more powerful than Canon Vader just due to how stupidly ridiculously overpowered Legends Sidious was.
BTW I know your talking about Legends RoTS Sidious but even if Vader was a fraction of the power of Dark empire Sidious I still think he'd likely be a tad bit stronger than Canon Vader but that is what I think Legends Vader could've been.

Well u realize his body is probably well adapted to different planet conditions given that the ppl in star wars dont come from earth and might have adapted to survive these conditions

If you can ultra pressurize a lot of water current iinto your target's direction,

*click* "Dear [Creator/Producer], HEY! It's me, Austin." At this point, it's pretty much the secret ingredient to the 'The SCIENCE Of...' and it would just feel wrong without it. If Austin wants an opener, this was perfection before it might have ever been recognized as such. An opener and an intro can coexist smoothly. MatPat does it all the time with his Theory videos. If Austing gets an intro, I hope he keeps the secret ingredient around as an opener because it being taken out is like making peanut butter cookies without the peanut butter.

Please it's more like dime. But i get what you mean.

Or that Vader could literally destroy the entire fortress without trying

just ignore vader has a rebrither on his face also

Incorrect. In canon, Vader did not become weaker after Mustafar. He lost potential, but retained all of his existing power and continued training to get even stronger. Once he was in the armor, he surpassed Anakin in every respect. This is confirmed in Lords of the Sith, as well as the numerous Vader comic series'.

@@thewarner2139 I think he means, imagine Anakin at his full potential, like this is Vader presumably not even at his full potential and he's doing these insane feats, imagine Anakin at his maximum possible strength in the force

@@guyfieri148 Yeh according to an interview with Filoni about Return of the Jedi, Vader was actually the strongest he’d ever been during the fight in the throne room, before AND after Mustufar. Crazy stuff, considering this is in his early years as Vader.

@@thewarner2139 he is still able to get stronger which people don’t actually know that. Although it wouldn’t be as easy as it would be as Anakin.

I always thought Vader was scarier, this video showed me Anakin in his prime would've been a *whole new* monster. I'm fairly certain Palpatine was relieved when he heard Anakin was gonna lose a bunch of his power.

@@AshRain-nu3vz even vaders suit is designed to make him weak to force lighting,and that he cant move as well as used(and not having his own hands he is incapable of force lighting). His whole suit is made to bring him pain and keep him in check and under palpatine

Anakin compensates his loss of limbs by focusing more on his Force abilities compatible to his cybernetics while keeping his saber skills sharp to deal with any Jedi who chose to fight him in a saber duel.

It’s because of this that I think Disney did better with Vader than Lucas

He killed a small pack of rebels, while letting them save the death star plans, ultimately failing to complete the goal he was aiming for. Another failure. And btw it is the only movie scene where Vader is actually doing something badass other that chocking some old dudes who cant fight back.

John Lydon I mean Disney has only had this scene use Vader, compared to three movies as well as a scene at the end of Revenge of the Sith, which is much more and show how powerful he is as well.

@@badbloodkiller3471 more geek then nerd

@@badbloodkiller3471 What are you talking about? Lightsaber combat is more slashes than stabs. How else are they going to incapacitate an opponent if not dismemberment? Out of all the strikes marks of contact (outcomes of a fight involving light sabers) 6 out of 9 involve dismemberment are described in Lightsaber fighting manuals

For all the “elegance” a lightsaber allegedly has, I don’t see a stun setting or anything.

BlackCover95 they had a “low power” setting where you only got light burns from touching the blade. This option was mainly used for sparring younglings.

Yeah that's insane

Force is spiritual so body mass presence\absence has nothing to do with it. He has all 100% of his powers at any time when he isn't suffering from mental effects.

I think I read something about him workin on a solid 80% of force power actually I could be wrong though

@@Vladimir_Kv The force is only in living material. He is 40% machine, thus he has a force connection that is 40% less of his potential max

@@iasonjacksongrace No. You are wrong. What are Force Ghosts then? Why small Yoda was the most powerful Jedi in his age?

@@rollerskdude - prequels and original trilogy were the only pre-Disney content that are canon, and as such, midichlorians are canon.

Still not enough to beat Dr Doom

He literally is a floating amgry torso lacking most organs, all of his limbs and skin

And George Lucas himself said that if Anakin managed to get out of his confrontation with Obi wan without getting almost killed by lava, he would be several times stronger then how he is as Darth Vader.

@@josephge4223 I think he meant the combo of speed and agility with the Force, since Vader is more machine than man he lost most of his mobility. At least his armor gave him some good features.

Mechanical limbs/replacements also impede a force user's ability to wield the force (according to Lucas and various canon/Legends sources) Add in that Vader's suit was specifically designed to mess with him and further impede not only his physical ability, but his force usage (thanks to Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine not wanting Vader to overthrow him) and the scale of Vader's max potential is even more terrifying in the SW setting.

You know, I get the feeling the force doesn't grip as well to things like sand and water, which could explain Anakin's disdain towards the sand and would make the water cutscene way more impressive.

The high ground

Of thecfrorce

Hello There!

Maybe it's about mass rather than weight. So if you can force lift a star destroyer that is also being affected by gravity, you could do the same in space too

@@curticegough6814 I rather agree with Attitcus you can grab part of a star destroyer e.g. the front and pull that letting momentum handle the rest for water you have to stop every single bit as if you leave say 1cm unblocked then its going to be coming through at immense pressure.

@@liamwarner5749 Well, maybe we're both right. People who use the force have clear difficulty manipulating large objects, but imagine how much harder that would be if there were several copies of that same object. I think both factors would probably increase the required effort, but in this particular case, it would be the amount of different water drops he has to manage combined with the pressure he's pushing against that Austin described.

umm, can I add something? in the video of the science on Doomfist Austin talk about moving object that is already moving is easier than make an object move. I think stopping object as heavy as water in that depth, which will rush in quickly, with that much space area is way harder than thread on it (or swim, I guess) even if you're using the force. this will also apply to the stopping star destroyer(???). a plane that is already in motion of falling, to bend it down in air would be much easier than dead-stopping it like Vader did with water... just my two cents.
