Summary
Warning ! This article contain spoilers for Star Wars : Dark Droids # 3Darth Vaderjust displayed perhaps the most impressive Force - power in his entireStar Warshistory by replacing his lost limbs not with cybernetics , but with raw Force energy itself . While he only did so for a few minute , Darth Vader still pulled off a Force ability that has never been see inStar Warsbefore , leading one to wonder if this power is something he could have access sooner .
After Anakin Skywalker fall to the drab side and became Darth Vader inStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sith , he and Obi - Wan Kenobi had their climactic battle on Mustafar that lead in Vader losing all his limbs and suffering severe burns throughout his entire body . This made Darth Vader not only reliant on three additional robotic limb , but also a full bodysuit that acted as both protective armour and respirator .
While anyStar Warsfan worth their salt knowsthe purpose of Darth Vader ’s suitand how he got it , it ’s important to take note that winding up in that suit was perhaps whole avertible . How is that possible ? Well , the fact that Darth Vader was satiate with so much rage and hate during the events of his previous adventure that he was capable to call forth energy - limb from the raw Force mean he could have arguably done so preferably , even on the lava bank of Mustafar ( with only one reasonableness as to why that would n’t work ) .
Darth Vader Creates Force-Limbs In A Life-Or-Death Situation
InStar Wars : Dark Droids#3 by Charles Soule and Luke Ross , the Scourge has infected a phone number of droids on Darth Vader ’s personal vessel . During his trip to Coruscant , a few of those droids lash out Vader while he ’s catch one’s breath in his bacta tank . Without his cybernetic limbs or his suit , Vader was totally vulnerable , and was nearly defeated by the Scourge ’s brilliant tactical manoeuvre right then and there .
However , the Scourge lamentably undervalue Darth Vader ’s power in the non-white side of the Force . With the power mobilise through sodding cult and hate , Vader conjured four limb made strictly from Force energy , and he used his new limbs to dismantle the attack droids with ease . Vader maintained this chassis for only a few moments , but it was enough to save his lifetime right as he was on the brink of utter frustration .
Could Darth Vader Have Used His Force-Limb Power To Beat Obi-Wan?
Since Darth Vader was able to create Force - branch during the life - or - end situation presented in this comedian , could he have done the same inEpisode IIIduring his conflict with Obi - Wan ? The saucily - turned Darth Vader was filled with the necessary amount of furore and hatred to turn against everything he once consider in , and everyone he once loved . If he concentrated enough , could that raw hate have been used to produce temporary force out - limb that would have saved him from being burn by the lava after he was dismembered , thereby ward off the cruel fate of his cause , and even perhaps allowed him to get the startle on Obi - Wan ? While that question is a valid one free-base on what was shown in this comic , there ’s actually one reason why it would n’t have been possible for Anakin to create Force - limbs inEpisode III : the current surges in the Force .
Whenthe Fermata Cage was opened inHidden Empire , it released two things : the Scourge and waves of Force - ripples throughout the coltsfoot . These rippling concede power - users either extreme surges of mogul the likes of which they ’ve never experienced before , or cut them off from the Force entirely . Darth Vader recently learned how to tap into his hate and control these ripples , allow him to do things that would n’t normally be possible - like Force - limbs . So , whileDarth Vader ’s unexampled ‘ military group - limb ’ index is impressive , it ’s not something he can do every day , and it ’s definitely not something that could have saved him inEpisode III .
