IdiotMachine 12/29/17 6:09:58 PM #1:	WARNING: This topic may contain spoilers for the entire Star Wars franchise! Throughout the new Star Wars films, Kylo wants to strive to become Darth Vader and Snoke always compares Kylo to Vader and says stuff like "You are no Vader". In the original trilogy and the prequels, I feel like Vader didn't really do anything crazy to warrant that type of elevated baddie status. <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:893084973] in Why is Dar...

Shotgunnova 12/29/17 6:23:14 PM #13:	I thought Vader was kinda just "there" a lot of the time and only took out a few dudes, but then I looked up his SW wiki page and saw he's been in tons of (now non-canon?) arcs in all types of SW media, badassing his way through with a high body count. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:893085654] in Why is Dar...
