Summary

Darth Vaderhas show time and again that he is one of the most powerful military group - users in theStar Warsgalaxy , and while a great batch of that come from his former Jedi grooming and his underlying strength in the Force , a lot of what makes him so heavy to beat came from the techniques he ascertain from his foeman while fighting them . In fact , there ’s one technique in particular that made Vader especially unnerving , one he learned fromStar Wars ’ impudent Jedi .

In Dark Horse Comics’Star Wars : Purgeby John Ostrander and Doug Wheatley ( which takes place in the Legends continuity),Darth Vader is desperately hunting Obi - Wan Kenobi , and is unforced to postdate any piece of intel he come . This comic call for shoes curtly after the rise of the Empire , when Vader was still only implicated with finding and belt down his former skipper . When Vader thinks he found Kenobi , he or else finds that he ’d walked flop into a cakehole set by a group ofJedi who outlive Order 66- and they near killed him .

While Vader was able to make out through each Jedi when they assail him one - on - one , he near buckle under to the might of the Jedi when there were just three left , and they all figure out together under the direction of arguably the fresh Jedi inStar Warshistory : Master Tsui Choi . Under the leadership of Tsui Choi , the three Jedi used their combined power in the Force to hurl objects at Darth Vader , which well overwhelmed the already - spite Sith Lord . If Vader ’s 501st did n’t step in to kill the three Jedi , Vader would probably have been beaten by this proficiency .

Darth Vader Mastered the Technique that Nearly Killed Him (& Used It Against Luke Skywalker)

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

Given how soon afterRevenge of the SiththisStar Warsstory was set , agitate Master Tsui Choi wasDarth Vader ’s first exposure to this proficiency - that being using the Force to hurl debris and other heavy objects at one ’s resister . However , this certainly would n’t be the last time Vader would see this proficiency in legal action , as he actually used it himself many class later while fight Luke Skywalker .

InStar Wars : Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back , Darth Vader fought and defeated Luke in Cloud City , and one of the main ways Vader won this triumph was by utilizing this very technique . Rather than trump his son in lightsaber combat , Vader decided to habituate the very attack that nearly kill him so many years ago , which allow Vader to flex his raw effectiveness in the Force while also effectively claim the technique as his own in a truly definitive way .

Even Emperor Palpatine Agreed with Master Tsui Choi’s ‘Lesson’

Star Wars#25 - Darth Vader: “The Lesson” by Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli

Master Tsui Choi and the other surviving Jedi were the first to inclose Darth Vader to this proficiency , thoughStar Wars#25 confirms that Palpatine actually agreed with the effectiveness of this picky attack , and even comprise it into his own lesson while training Darth Vader in the dark side of the Force . While ostensibly strange on the aerofoil , it was wise of Palpatine to use a proficiency introduced by Master Tsui Choi , given the Jedi ’s forcefulness in the Force and his unparalleled intelligence .

Master Tsui Choi proved how smart he was inStar warfare : Purgein a number of way of life . The Jedi right claimed that the Jedi Order fall because the Force will it , he know it was the wrong time to attack the Empire , and he accurately predicted how Palpatine would eventually fall . Master Tsui Choi was ahead of even Yoda in terms of foresight through the Force . Though his most impressive feat inStar Warsmay have been this proficiency , as it ’s one that was so powerful , evenDarth Vaderadopted it as his own .
