Although Rogue One is coming in close at second…

    Rogue One was the first time I feel like we got to see Vader as properly terrifying. That was my favorite appearance of his until Jedi: Fall Order came out, and omfg he is even scarier in that one. I love scary Vader.

    Kenobi was hit and miss. There were moments like when he had Kenobi backed into a corner, then Kenobi lit a fire between them and escaped, like Vader couldn’t deal with that? I feel like he would have like parted the flames or tried to pull Kenobi into them or something. He just let him go, but then we see him indiscriminantly killing people in the streets and it’s like, “okay, there he is.”

    Kenobi

    But only parts of the portrayal. The absolute menacing figure walking through the streets killing at a whim was easily the best representation of prime Vader, but that broke down the longer the episode went.

      Each episode of Kenobi, and the show as a whole, seemed like it started with a great idea that just got worse the more they drew it out. Anytime I rewatch it, I skip through any scene that isn’t mostly Vader or Anakin / Vader and Obi-Wan.

      Just give me a PG-13 or MA-rated miniseries - that isn’t afraid to test the limits - about Vader in his prime. I want to see “All I’m surrounded by are dead men,” energy on screen.

        Wasn’t there a guy who turned the series into a movie by remastering it into a 1h30m video. I think I bookmarked that on my Reddit account before Lemmy was around ( or before the whole fuck spez thing anyway. Lemmy has been around longer than that ).

              I watched it some time after watching the series, it does a decent job of cutting out the filler and making it more enjoyable. If I remember right they just straight up cut out reva’s character. A notable moment is the beginning when Leia is somehow able to outwit and outrun multiple adults that have her surrounded, that chase is completely cut out and they just grab her right there XD

    Definitely fallen order for me, not quite as much survivor. There was something terrifying about “oh shit Vader is here? And he just casually tossed Cere? And now we’re fighting him? Wait, where’s his health bar?” And then you just get crushed.

    The Kenobi series one, because he acts the most threatening. The other ones make him feel like a plush toy

    Survivor Vader was a little bitch compared to fallen order Vader imo. Spoiler alert for survivor, I get that Cere is strong, but I don’t think she would’ve ever done THAT MUCH damage to Vader. Vader in fallen order was absolutely terrifying and untouchable. The way he hobbles away in survivor is comical. Unpopular opinion but they really wasted him, AND he’s not that tough of a fight at all since they made it that everyone faces him at the same difficulty.

    So idk, guess my answer is always going to be rogue one

    Vader in Jedi Survivor 2 is a massive asshole… It’s fantastic that you know how to beat him, there’s only one good method, yet I have spent hours trying. This is the way. Vader should be almost impossible yet clearly not.

          Again, cool, but that’s not the question that was asked?

          The meme isn’t asking which Vader you like best. It’s which Disney Vader you like best.

              Which is irrelevant. The question isn’t asking you whether you like Disney. It’s saying which one of the Disney Vaders you think is best. Your opinion on Disney does not matter when it comes to answering the question.

              This behavior is just so exhausting. So utterly biased and hateful against one company that you cannot, or refuse to let yourself, engage with anything at all revolving around it. Then you have this insanely childish behavior of seeing people talk about that thing you don’t like and then going “Well, my opinion this thing is irrelevant but I will derail the conversation to try and whine about the company I don’t like.”

              Grow up and start acting like an adult. Either engage honestly and in good faith with the conversation at hand or don’t engage at all and move on with your life.
