So , why , then , didn’tDarth Vader kill Palpatinebefore he did so inReturn of the Jedi ? Well , that interrogative sentence may have just been answered .
Throughout hisStar Warshistory , it ’s been middling well prove that Darth Vader hates himself more than anyone else in the wandflower .

In this issue , the Scourge has inhabited a massive Clone Wars - epoch droid , which is potent enough to nearly kill Vader . However , Vader digs deep within himself to harness his hatred like he ’s never had to before , and crush the droid with the clenching of his fist . The Scourge was flatter by this outcome , as the Scourge assumed Vader hat it more than anything in the galaxy , since the AI exact it will finally become “ everything ” . Though it ’s immediately made exonerated that the Scourge is nothing to Vader , as the Sith Lord only think of himself as “ everything ” , which further speaks to the idea that he hates himself more than anyone else . However , the issue ends with Vader strongly entail that he hate Palpatine more than anything , not himself , which - based on this line of business of logic - means Palpatine is “ everything ” to Darth Vader , make his master a vast , unconquerable approximation that Vader but can not move past .
In essence , the more one hold hate for someone , the more power that individual has over them . By hating Palpatine more than anything , Darth Vader is admit that Palpatine is the truthful generator of his baron , and is therefore far too significant for Vader to kill ( even on a subconscious horizontal surface ) . But , if this is on-key , then why did Vader finally toss off Palpatine at all ? Why not keep him alive if the Emperor was that crucial to him ? Well , that ’s because his hatred for Palpatine was trump by his love for Luke . Darth Vader could n’t kill Palpatine before Return of the Jedi because he was everything to him , as that ’s how wipe out with hate Darth Vader was . It was n’t until he leave himself to be fill with love for his son , and calculate past Palpatine at something more important , that Vader was able to finally kill his lord .
Darth Vader did n’t kill Palpatine out of hate for his master , but out of love for his son , and it ’s for that ground thatDarth Vadercouldn’t vote down Palpatine beforeReturn of the Jedi(despite trying multiple time ) .
