Darth Vader’s Cybernetic Limbs Saved His Life, Thanks to Obi-Wan
InStar state of war : Darth Vader#34 by Greg Pak and Adam Gorham , Darth Vader is powerless in the Force . At this head in Star Wars canon , the ebb and flow of the Force is widely unpredictable . Sometimes it flood a Force - user with uncontrollable power ( as it did to Vader and Palpatine in the former issue ) , and other time it leaves them utterly powerless ( as show in this one ) . alas , Vader is not in a dependable place . When he antecedently drop off command of his own power , he ripped a hole in the side of his ship and was jettisoned off into space , crash - landing place on this planet . The hits just keep on coming when Vader realizes that a squad of Rebels catch everything that take place , and are flying towards him with their gun - ships blaze . Darth Vader ca n’t apply the Force to protect himself , but when he got bombarded by optical maser - fire , he used an vim carapace built into his left over robotic arm for tribute , which quite literally saved his life story .
Obi - Wan overcome Darth Vader on Mustafar by cut off all Anakin ’s limbs with a single move . To be fair , it was in self - defense , and he did warn Anakin not to try it , but Anakin was under the effect that Obi - Wan was simply lowball his mogul , when , in fact , Anakin grossly overestimate his own . After Kenobi dismembered him , Anakin was set ablaze on the lava banks , and Obi - Wan think he was drained . However , Obi - Wan could n’t have been far from the truth . While Kenobi did give Anakin that concluding thrust he involve to to the full become Darth Vader , he also made him strong by efficaciously give him cybernetic enhancement , which Vader then used in this issue to defend himself against attacker when the Force failed him .
If Obi - Wan did n’t cut off Vader ’s arm , Anakin would n’t have had his energy buckler ready to go during the events of this issue ( and fans know that it was Kenobi ’s doing because Vader used his left branch , which is the one Obi - Wan cut off , not Count Dooku ) . So , by beating Darth Vader on Mustafar and apparently putting an end to the tragic evil spawned by Palpatine and perpetuated by Anakin ’s twisted brain , Obi - Wan Kenobiactually ( unknowingly ) savedDarth Vader ’s life , all while endeavor to take it .
