Warning ! This article contains spoilers for Star Wars : Dark Droids # 3Darth Vaderhas more than proven himself a master tactician inStar Warslore , both as the Sith Lord during the era of the Galactic Civil War , and as the JediAnakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars . However , even a master can have his shortcoming , and Darth Vader ’s greatest tactical weakness has just been give away - and it goes right back to his puerility .
As demonstrate inStar warfare : Episode I - The Phantom Menace , Anakin Skywalker bonk tinkering with droids , and also dabbled in other forms of mechanical engineering . Not only did he construct his own podracer , butAnakin bring C-3PO to lifeas well , proving his lifelike accomplishment and sake spirit level when it get along to droids and mechanic . This is something that Anakin carried with him all his life , include and particularly after he made the transition to the Sith cyborg , Darth Vader .
Darth Vader was not only more automobile than humans , but he pretty consistently surrounded himself with droids . While the movies do n’t really show this , his many risky venture in the comics show him regularly command droids to do his bidding , as their loyalties were never in question , and he could quite literally control their natural process . It seems even as a Sith Lord , Anakin never miss the love he had for droids when he was just a child . Unfortunately , that was nearly the cause of his ultimate ruin .
Star Wars’ The Scourge Almost Defeated Darth Vader With His Own Droids
InStar Wars : Dark Droids#3 by Chalres Soule and Luke Ross , the Scourge has coiffure its sights on Darth Vader , as the AI hivemind has develop more aggressive in its desire to live organic lifeforms along with semisynthetic one . Previously , the Scourge amount to the conclusion that the in force way to achieve this dark finish was by accessing an constituent organic structure through their cybernetic enhancements / replacements , meaning the Scourge postulate to subdue possessing cyborgs before it could even essay to assimilate a non - cybernetic somebody - and there ’s no cyborg stronger than Darth Vader .
After assimilating Darth Vader ’s droids on Mustafar , and then having those droids board Darth Vader ’s vessel as he makes his way to Coruscant , the Scourge activates Vader ’s personal droids to attack him while he ’s rest in his bacta tank . However , the Scourge ’s flagship was snipe by Ajax Sigma and the other droids of the Second Revelation at that same time , thereby skewing the Scourge ’s attending , get the AI to go bad in its commission to becharm and undertake to assimilate Vader . However , if it was n’t for that misdirection , Vader would have almost assuredly lost .
Star Wars Further Proves Joy Is Impossible For Darth Vader
A lovingness for droids is something Anakin Skywalker was digest with . No one teach him this love for synthetics , especially not when he was a hard worker on Tatooine . He could n’t aid it , anytime he look at a droid - or even a box of parts that could conceivably become a droid - Anakin was filled with brainchild and joy . It was a part of who he was , and whether he intend to or not , he carried that with him when he became Darth Vader . However , upon fully accepting the black side into his mind and liveliness , everything that could be considered ‘ good ’ in his life sentence was tardily corrupted . Padmé died , his children lost , his dead body mutilated , and now , his inherent and borderline subconscious sexual love for droids almost stick him killed .
While the Scourge is n’t an agent of the gloomy side , it is still a life form that exists in theStar Warsuniverse , and is therefore susceptible to the will of the Force - both light and dark sides . Since Darth Vader is an agent of the sullen side , he is fate to only experience depravation and suffering for the sake of power , and that includes the childhood interest that he carry into adulthood . Darth Vaderalmost being beat by his own droids courtesy of the Scourge was a tactical weakness , to be sure , but was also something that goes far deeper than bare military strategy .
Star Wars : Dark Droids # 3by Marvel Comics is uncommitted now .
