KnightDawg posted:Yeah...that ranks up there with Anakin suddenly having an apprentice in the upcoming Clone Wars show.
SithStarSlayer posted:I'm amazed more people haven't railed against the plot. That Vader didn't really do squat during the purge, his lacky did it for him.
BobaMatt posted:Because, presumably, he gets rescued. Let us not forget that what was killing Anakin by the time he gets his mask removed was the fact that Palpatine's lightning fried all his electronics - I mean, listen to his breathing after he tosses Palpy down the shaft. Even then, he's able to survive for a little while without his mask on, and Vader sits in his hyperbaric chamber without his helmet on all the time. Losing the helmet =/= instant death.
Ashandarei posted:He doesn't die instantly, yeah ... but he's certainly not going to be striking a battle pose when his mask is utterly blown away.
Ashandarei posted:He can't breathe for himself without exerting massive Force power; as Luke says when Vader tells him to remove it, "you'll die".
Ashandarei posted:And his meditation chambers are specifically designed so that he can exist without his breathing apparatus inside them; he can't go helmetless on the outside.

I'm amazed more people haven't railed against the plot. That Vader didn't really do squat during the purge, his lacky did it for him. The OT gets spit on daily.

Does it say anywhere that Vader didn't do anything, that the SA did everything, not just the few Jedi and a little bit of dirty work we know for sure he faces in this game, while Vader did nothing back on Coruscant - besides all the Jedi we already know he's killed personally? ...or is that just a presumption of fans hungry to hate something new?
SithStarSlayer posted:Wow. Who said anything about hating it?
