“I hate being him… I think he does too.” That line has so much significance and sums up Vader’s character perfectly, he does hate himself, and he hates himself because he’s responsible for the way he is, he blames Obi-Wan and Palpatine but deep down he knows and acknowledges the truth.
Plus, Vader was always the ultimate slave, to himself, to Jedi, and Sith. Only after saving Luke from Palpatine was he truly free just for once in his miserable life.
2:06 i love how Vader's breath there suddenly sounds more low pitched and deeper, like the air was more roughly inhaled through his ventilator, it sounds like he actually gasped at having his saber snatched out of his hand
I like how when Vader is ragdolling Starkiller, Palpatine goes from being annoyed and feeling betrayed to full on glee and enjoyment. Then, once Vader throws him out the window, Palpatine make a scowling noise like as if he forgot he was suppose to be mad at Vader for trying to betray him. Bro is pure evil and sadistic
And then he just starts laughing again like he just remembered something from earlier, too. That whole scene was basically just Palpatine's entertainment since he knows Vader will never be able to overthrow him the way he is.
Palpatine knew about Starkiller from day 1 and Vader was aware that he knew. Vader never intended Starkiller to overthrow Palpatine. The plan was to have him round up all the enemies of the Empire.
I love how quickly Vader stabs Starkiller when the emperor walks in, like a little kid trying to hid what they were doing because they knew it was against the rules
It is something that was set up in Episode VI. Basically, Anakin lost anything resembling a backbone after becoming Darth Vader. He will plan to overthrow him in public but immediately drop on his knees and beg for forgiveness when he was inevitably caught.
Cept he wasn’t “caught” it was revealed at the end of the game Vader was playing Starkiller the whole time. Starkillers “apprenticeship” under Vader was for the sole purpose of drawing out Palpatines enemies. That whole scene of Palpatine and Vader was theater simply to give Starkiller a motive
24:00 even though Vader and Starkiller just had a duel to the death, you can hear and see that Vader is actually saddened by the loss of this apprentice. Always makes me sad that at the time, this was the closest thing Vader had to a son as he didn’t know about Luke yet. So technically speaking Vader has just watched his ‘son’ die in front of him. Adding to the loss of Padme and all his other friends.
@@ace9924 I like to headcanon at 23:29 when Vader stood behind Sidious he was tempted to help Galen for just a brief moment but he refrained from doing so. When the confrontation with Luke occurs, he makes the right decision that time with the memory of Galen being one thing that contributed into his redemption.
Opening this game up by having the player be Vader and fulfilling the power fantasy of hunting Jedi and being a bad ass Sith Lord was just genius. Simple, but genius.

Even though vader eventually betrays starkiller I still think it's the most wholesome thing vader has ever done when he saves him from the storm troopers on kashyyk
No that was tragic - those troopers were doing what he said to do. They had families and we have 0 reason to hate them. The Stormtrooper commander probably had a family.
@@gamerxxgaming7075 he is not canon... And Legends is just theory with no actual canon behind any of it. The writers have said this themselves. Stop making stuff up to fit you're mindset.
Just completed this again for the first time in years. I had a blast. The Star Destroyer mission was always my least favourite but honestly, it wasn’t as bad as I remembered. Maybe because I was younger and had less patience.
kills 1000 storm troopers and other enemies along the way "Oh boy, guess I'll just let the emperor and Vader live so I don't "go back to the dark side." God I love star wars, but man the jedi have a stick up their ass when it comes to killing. Kill as many foot soldiers as it takes, but when it comes to the big bad evil, "oh man we gotta lock them up! if we kill them we're no better than them!" after killing 87 storm troopers....
To be fair, the Stormtroopers have consistently been shooting at him through the whole game and he tends to kill them pretty much instantly. By the end of this, Vader was just broken and Palpatine was blatantly egging him on so the Dark Side could get a grip on him again. I suppose in this instance at least, it's a case of killing in self-defence and killing for gratification. (But yeah, it would have been better for the whole galaxy in the long run)
Starkiller wasn’t as powerful here as he was when he beat Vader. Also tfu Vader is only 50% of Palpatine’s strength at most while galen is maybe 30-40%. Vader never planned on using starkiller to defeat the emperor
@@BWC-Chad vader Overall is probably still stronger than palpatine what i meant with is by force powers what Lucas had said is around 80% this has nothing to Do with his prime and the reason vader never Attacked palpatine Was that he was really loyal to him im talking about canon Story not the game now and probably because of his suit aswell what gives him a disadvantage because its really heavy and difficult to move with and it gets really effected by force lightning especially his life Support

I’ve seen people say they didn’t like the voice actor for Vader in this game. I’ve never really understood that, I think he does a phenomenal job.
I agree. Unfortunately he even sounds better than James Earl Jones does in Rebels and Rogue One
I like him more than Jones.
I can't tell the difference between him and Jones to be honest.
He did great it’s only maybe in 2 it’s gets stale at time but still good.

@RyanTheDark thats why I think galen Marek was the best apprentice in terms of how he influenced Vader/Anakin and his redemption.

Same, it reminds me that he’s just a broken man

“If you strike him down in anger you’ll be right back where you begun”
