“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.
I’ve seen people say they didn’t like the voice actor for Vader in this game (Matt Sloan). I’ve never really understood that, I think he does a phenomenal job.
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.
i love his voice actor. love him. I think he is second to James Earl Jones, and honestly better than the edited version in the recent Kenobi series and better than the older Jones in Rogue One
@@HumanoidMachine it's a computer generated version of his voice based on recordings. They credit him but it's not really him. I think they did the same thing with Luke in Boba. Not de-aging a voice but creating a voice

We won't have James Earl Jones forever to provide the voice of Darth Vader. Whoever this is voicing Vader for this game should be the automatic replacement because I didn't think anybody else could do the voice that well.
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.

@@diekrassekresse852 It is. Star Wars has 2 continuities. This is part of the original continuity that is now refered as Legends. It is an official Star Wars story and part of Legends lore. Non Canon simply means that is not part of the new continuity that is called Canon but that doesn't mean that this is not Star Wars lore, it simply means that it's canon only to the Legends continuity.
@@reposter6434 The original universe? Are you suggesting that the new canon is the original universe? A continuity that exists for barely a decade, over the expanded universe a 5 decade old continuity that existed long before the new continuity? This is a mistake because something can't be original if it already existed, especially for 50+ years. I believe what you meant to say is Official. This of course would also be wrong because as I explained Star Wars has 2 main continuities(2 different canons) the original one called Legends and the new one which they just call Canon. Being called Canon doesn't mean that it is the only canon, everything under either the Canon or Legends banners are official Star Wars stories and characters. When you say Non Canon, you simply mean that a story or a character doesn't take place in one continuity but it still takes place in the other. Example, Kylo Ren is canon in Canon and non canon in Legends and Starkiller is canon in Legends and non canon in Canon. I understand the confusion because the new continuity doesn't have a proper name and they just call it Canon implying that is the only canon which it isn't but it's a very simply thing to understand once you know how canon and continuity works.
I was supposed to be like what it was AC origins or Valhalla. All open world many secondary options and the team up of Daddy Vader and Starkiller destroying one of the many contingency plans of Palps. Or that's what they said
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.

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

4:58 that scene hits hard. It accurately captures the presence of Vader
I just want Force Lightning in a game like Fallen Order. That's all I want. For now.
18:55 I love how Vader is just for a moment like “Hell with this.” And just launches Galen 20 feet.
Vader: "I find your gradually brightening choices of wardrobe... Disturbing."
😂 the first sign of someone turning away from the dark side
I just noticed that you can hear Vader’s normal voice ever so slightly as he’s looking over starkillers body, took me too long to hear that lol
Vader was sidious’ most powerful and ruthless weapon.

"You have nothing left to teach me!"
Fallen Order really took inspiration from these two games. I loved the Force Unleashed games and can't wait for Fallen Order 2.
You mean survivor
I like how in this game, the Force works similar to Ki in DBZ, just less flashy.
I notice the detail when starkiller sacrifices himself that a light is shining on Vader which is good foreshadowing to his redemption
1:06 “you cannot disguise yourself from me, Jedi” quote vibe
