Who's stronger Chewbacca or Darth Vader?

Chewbacca can pull off the arms of a gundark, but Darth Vader's got mechanical+force enhanced strength. And we're talking lifting heavy things, wrestling, arm-wrestling and such.
Tough call.

 

It's a tough call, but I'm going to go with Darth Vader. The ability to pull people's arms out of their sockets is insiginificant when compared to the power of the Force!

 

"It's a tough call, but I'm going to go with Darth Vader. The ability to pull people's arms out of their sockets is insiginificant when compared to the power of the Force!"

That's a good point you're making. Though I always thought it was meant literally.
In real life btw, Dave Prowse must have been a lot stronger than Peter Mayhew.
So far it's a tie!

 

Much as I love Chewie, gonna have to go with Vader. The Dark Side is stronger than brute Force.

 

Vader would choke him from a distance

 

I'd say that Chewie is physically stronger than Vader, just because Vader's cyborg limbs are connected to the stumps of arms and legs instead of being full robotic replacements. I'm leaving the force out of this one, because it's a contest of strength and not who's got the force.

 

Chewie definetely. I love it when he howls at Vader in ESB.

 

Point one: It's more like a roar than a howl!

Point two: The first post specifies "we're talking lifting heavy things, wrestling, arm-wrestling and such" -- not "who would beat whom in a fight"!

 

My Sith can beat your Wookiee any day.

 

I feel like starting a thread called Who's stronger,Bigfoot or Doctor Doom?

 

Must be a joke question. Who's stronger, a Sith Lord or a gorilla?

 

more like

Who's stronger, a Sith Lord with bionic limbs or a gorilla?

makes the question a bit more accurate and interesting.

 

"Must be a joke question. Who's stronger, a Sith Lord or a gorilla? "

This is a muscle-poll. Do you really think the emperor would beat even C-3PO in an honest
match of armwrestling. He's like a 100 years old. (the emperor that is)

 

Tyson KO 1 Vader

 

A healthy Wookiee, even a slender Wookiee like Chewbacca is helluva lot stronger than a charbroiled human cyborg with lung problems. The only edge that Vader has in this contest is that Vader can use the force to enhance his organic muscles and combine that with his cybernetics. Without the Force, Chewbacca is the stronger of the two.

 

So wait, are we talking w/o the force? I mean to a Jedi/Sith the Force is as much a part of them as thier muscles. "Luminous beings are we. Not this crude matter...."

 

If we're not talking about Force powers and lightsabers, Chewie would wrench Vader's head off with the greatest of ease. A better question would be, could Chewie out-wrestle Grievous? That'd be a good match.

 

"A better question would be, could Chewie out-wrestle Grievous? That'd be a good match. "

Who is Grievous? That metal-ragdoll from those new films?

 

If you're talking about physical strength, then Chewbacca wins hands down. He is arguably the strongest character in the saga.

 

indeed..

 

Chewie, Vader even with the force physically is a wreak and Chewie is in excellent shape. He'd rip Vader apart.

 

Chewbacca!!! Could you imagine a force-trained Chewie? He would rule the universe forever!

 

His nephew Lowbacca is the closest we'll get to a force-trained Chewie.

How is this one even close?

Vader

 

Because Chewbacca rules.
