| Darth Vader - Dark Jedi Master |
| ||||||
| At this stage, we are unable to comment on the style of Anakin Skywalker – but we know he was taught by the ‘rash’ Kenobi, and was able to give his mentor one hell of a fight! I expect his style will be not dis-similar to the young Kenobi’s – but as he will be ten years younger, he will provide the aging Kenobi with some rude surprises as the younger man will be even faster and more flexible. After his fall and resurrection, Lord Darth Vader has some problems to contend with. His body is a mess. His spine is broken at the neck, his limbs are cybernetic, and he is permanently encased in a cruelly heavy portable iron-lung. He knows he has lost the physical edge – so his suit in enhanced with plates of super-dense armour. Whilst a sabre blade can cut through even this armour, it cannot do so without effort. Dense metals have a heat-dissipating conductivity, and a supply of ‘stray’ electrons that mean it takes longer for the sabre to ‘chew’ through. The armour is able to protect against lighter blows, as is seen in the Bespin duel. The large helmet and stiff shoulder plates mean that Vader is unable to easily raise his sabre over his head – so he employs techniques similar to pre-1600 battlefield samurai (who had similar encumbrances). He raises his sword to the side of his head, over his shoulder rather than his head, and launches mostly downward diagonal attacks. He is immensely strong, and tends to bludgeon his opponents weapon aside rather than use any finesse. Vader does use some graceful one-handed moves in the opening of his first duel with his son, but it must be remembered that he is dealing with a half-trained boy, is hoping to ‘psych him out’ and of course, is aiming to capture not kill. Note how Vader catches Luke’s sword on his own and PUSHES him to the ground – how he spins Luke’s sabre out of his grasp. These are POWER techniques. Note, that Vader has to fall back on the Force, and fling pieces of scenery at Luke. He lacks the skill and fine control with which to disarm and capture his prey alive. He is a killing machine, not a master. Vader fights like a bulldozer – huge, strong, and tough. He is more intimidating than mobile however, but fortunately for him, there are no longer any QuiGonn Jinn’s around to show him up. |
