CT He's more machine than man

I agree with everyone about Vader's mindset. Attitude precedes action. You start with mindset and the rest follows. The suit just physically shows what happened to him internally. He's confined, imprisoned by his anger, hate, and unwillingness to let go of things he can't control. Definitely tragic. It's also what makes him such an intriguing character.

 

Vader lost most of his force-bugs after the injuries, reducing his max level force power and lowering his force gauges by a full 50%!

Palpatine's force gauge is this long =============================================
It allows him to use force lightning in a battle up to a full ten times before he needs to find some power ups!

Meanwhile, because of his injuries, Vader's force gauge is only this long ====================
Meaning he's far weaker than he would of been, and therefore needs to find power ups way more often than the Emperor to use all his special abilities and attacks.



Revan and Starkiller had the longest force gauges in Star Wars history though, plus they got the `enhance all force powers` trait at level 12, making all of their abilities much stronger than both Vader and the Emperor combined.

 

How did I never noticed he was rockin' two capes? Or does that only count as one and a half?
