Yeah I’ve always noticed the similarities, but this is the first time I’m actually noticing that they are basically the exact same shape, except Vaders hilt has inverted colors. Very cool. It shows that George Lucas always had this overarching plan for Star Wars

Fr ig it made sense because the prequels were basically a clean slate for new ideas

Sidious hated lightsabers his fav weapon was Force Lightning

Breaks down in a 9 minute long video

Do you think he did a 5,000 strike lightsaber meltdown and posted it to Empire Tube? Putting his hand up to his helmet as the pin?😊

Unfortunately, the force lightning would deflect back at you by the blade of the lightsaber.

⁠@jaquariusrodgers7299I mean to be fair imagine if you spent decades of acting as a good guy to finally get The chosen one under your command only to then have him lose most of his power to an average Jedi Edit: Ok maybe not average but still obi-wan it not nearly as strong as someone like Yoda who Vader was apparently supposed to be twice as powerful

Wheres to me the death star lacks a utilitarian nature A as Vader said the force hated the thing and wanted it gone and B because there is not much point in winning if society is in ruins and countless people are gone as a direct result.

kind of like how some people see nuclear weapons as "weapons of mass destruction" whereas other people see the numbers killed by the "AK47" makes that gun a "weapon of mass destruction" 🤔🤷

@@graphixkillzzz My stance there is that the AK47(along with guns in general) are utilitarian weapons because they can stop a threat without messing up the area wheres Nukes are basically the same issue as the death star but on a smaller scale(having deterrence effect until used but being far too ruinous to have much actual use case), I also wish private weapon related laws reflected such distinctions(by saying nukes aren't allowed but allowing most other things) instead of law makers looking nervously whenever they see a law bidding citizen wants something military grade.

@@Wolf-oc6tx Remember that nukes are just one type of WMD. There are also chemical, biological and incendiary weapons. They might not lay a city completely flat, but they will still bring about the same amount of loss of life.

@@oldeskul Its odd people treat incendiary weapons as part of the list considering that we went through a huge number of wars with the concept of WMD without fire being considered one.

Well to be fair APPRENTICE. They do that...:D

I picture him saying “knew it” just like he says “do it”

@@ekramer2478 True True, but I will ask, are you trying to assert dominance?! Jk. But I always thought that the rule of two was a bit funny. And how they'd kill each other randomly. Like why wouldn't Palpatine learn the super secret powers from Plageuis before killing him?

@@lucid3563 Either he was in a rush or the script writers missed that one :D

@@lucid3563 he had to kill him before plageus could assume control over the republic. he was a banker. sidius was always ment as a puppet. when he killed plageus he cut his strings.

Because he was trying to get Vader to understand that the force is more powerful and can do far more damage than a lightsaber ever could. He does kind of have a point. You have far more options when it comes to force abilities. The lightsaber can only get you so far.

@@possiblytypicalnb7177 in a way, it’s ironic how both of them acted.

@@possiblytypicalnb7177you put into a single comment of what this video did for 8 whole minutes.

He believed the Sith were above it, not just himself

​@@rodgill9376true but there are limits to what the force can do obviously it couldn't stop the death star but it could stop blaster fire

Well. Siths bleed into the Kyper crystal of the Lightsaber to corrupt it, which changes the color to red.

How did you get to use it...matter fact please tell me where i can use a lightsaber

Personal preference is a double ended lightsaber that can break into two at the push of a button and the twist of a hilt. And I would employ that against a target I _needed_ to take down in a hurry, start with a solid form of bo staff combat that led into a thrust before it split into two and my style suddenly changes into a swift form 4 with two lightsabers in one move

​@@landonletterman831 so basically what Exar Kun used, 2 blades fused in the middle that could change their length if needed. Also fitted his use of form 6 which was suited for every situation. No wonder he never lost a duel

@@metroplextitan8816 I'm still kind of miffed that deactivating and reactivating a lightsaber mid combat is considered uncouth, by both Jedi _and_ Sith! Frankly, I would always be on guard for it, if not employing it myself. C'mon, I'm not about to fake surrender and then attack, but why not lose every fight you get in waiting for a fair one?

@@landonletterman831 I feel you but he's not deactivating them just adjusting the length of the blade (increasing or decreasing) based in need which depending on circumstance is sometimes very beneficial and form 6 can utilize that the best. For example in close quarters you don't want the long blade because it's a hindrance, something shorter is preferable. But on the other hand against aggressive styles or blaster fire where you want to maintain the distance you can increase it in order to better cover yourself. Also by splitting them and having 2 blades of different length (like Ahsoka) you can throw enemy off guard

The Sith typically only use thier lightsabers against other lightsaber users or that at least the case with Sidious in the past. His position as Emperor prevented him from being in contact with Jedi but when he faced Luke it was his false sense of security that made hi think he didn't need to use it. Really Sidious didn't use his lightsaber because he though he was powerful enough he didn't need to and it has nothing about him being worried about being branded as a Jedi.

...with a red blade like that, he'd be considered a dark Jedi at best, or reveal himself to be a Sith.

​@@jarrodberry575there is also the fact he despised the lightsaber believing it to be a crutch for the sith only making them weaker he put all his faith in the ancient rituals of the sith and sith alchemy which ultimately was his undoing

Yeah

Also Vader couldn’t use force lightning because palpatine deliberately made his armour weak to lightning so he could torture Vader with it. And Vader didn’t intend for his lightsaber to look like anakins but it did and it works because anakin made his main lightsaber (the skywalker saber) when he already had a robotic hand so it makes sense Vader would make something similar in thickness/design for his robotic hands plus yeah like you said Vader still had anakin inside him. Vader kept parts of anakins but modified them such as his saber or his saber combat style since he still uses form 5 with a few modifications from form 2 and some other stuff too

100 percent

General Kenobi really is a bold one

crippled yet Vader is far stronger then weak anakin

@Matt03981 Of course but if Vader never burned he could have been much more than what we see....just saying logically...Nightfall Anakin/Vader without injuries progressing would be far worse then what we got....

sidious never planned to keep anakin as an apprentice, he planned on using his body when his became too old and weak. this is really why sidious punished vader because anakin failing on mustafar ruined his entire plan.

@@deadseven3474 What- _WHAT-_ *_WHAAAAT!?_* Then you read it correctly, my friend! A+!

Vader is 6'8 fully armored without his boots he's 6'6 where did you get 6'4 or 6'5

@@Matt03981 Where’d he get those height numbers? The same place he got his grammar and lack of punctuation.

@@leroyjenkins4811like you would know better

@@Matt03981nd FYI it was the BEST guess on the Obi Wan Kenobi show and ROTS he didn’t look that tall and i saw his legs while he was being assembled his legs didn’t look that long to me reason why i say that cuz there have been different actors to play the character including Hayden Christensen personally i think Hayden is the BEST but the other actor from the OG trilogy was taller than Hayden and on Rebels and Rogue One he def looked like 6’6-6’8 thats why

Also if he trained his whole life with a certain type of hilt, why wouldn't he want a very similar hilt? Like when I was a trim carpenter, I hated all nail guns other than my Hitachi gun because they all felt so different and I couldn't get used to the way the other guns were balanced.

@@jeffshackleford3152 That makes a lot of good sense. Your hands know what they know, and if you can bypass the getting used to part of training why wouldn't you? Especially with Vader, who had to train extensively to get used to his new robotic form as it is.

You are correct for the most part but palps did hate lightsabers believing them to be a crutch but a useful one hence why he used one to fight the Jedi masters he also is confirmed to own 3 of them

he said right at the start its legends

I think you meant true canon

You can dream but until Disney releases Lukasfilms to a worthy owner what Disney says goes (even if that is down the toilet).

That’s not legends.

it's also worth noting that Sidious wasn't portrayed as being particularly good in a lightsaber duel either, by the end of his fight with Windu, Windu has all but won the duel and it's only Anakin's betrayal that gave Sidious the edge over him. Sidious' actual power comes from his connection the force and the abilities his understanding has granted him, rather than allowing an opponent to get close in a fight where a lightsaber would be useful, he's shooting lightning from his finger tips and turning the entirety of the environment in which the fight is taking place as a weapon.

He was actually one of the best with a lightsaber as far as I know. "Despite being highly trained in the art of combat by my master, I rarely used these weapons. I preferred to call upon the infinite power of the dark side to win my battles. Yet when the time came to reveal my true nature, few could survive the fury of my blades" (Star Wars: The Secrets of the Sith). Although he favored his power in the dark side as his principle form of attack instead of his lightsabers, Sidious attested that only a few individuals were able to survive against his skill with the blade Star Wars: The Secrets of the Sith). He had an extremely aggressive, rage-fueled dueling style and augmented his swordplay by using Force-enhanced speed, which allowed him to kill three experienced Jedi Masters at once within seconds. Kit Fisto, a Jedi Master who specialized in combat, was unprepared for the ferocity of Sidious' attack and consequently cut down by the Sith's lightsaber (Revenge of the Sith). He utilized a violently ferocious yet extremely fluid fighting style during his fight with Maul and Savage Opress, holding off the Sith brothers on equal grounds and ultimately separating them by stunning Maul for a brief time with the Force before toying with and killing Opress (Star Wars: The Clone Wars - "The Lawless"). During a sparring match, Sidious was able to quickly overpower his apprentice Darth Vader and knock Vader's lightsaber out of his hand without much effort ("The Lesson (Darth Vader)" - Star Wars (2020) 25). Sidious was exceptional at everything. But he was the follower of a thousand years Sith philosophy that put great emphasis on being a shadow manipulator instead of facing anything or anyone head on, and also few leaders with very high status would be willing to risk their lives in combat (kinda like sending your king into battle in a chess game). So I guess having to be forced to engage in martial combat would already be a failure in his eyes, as it'd mean that his secret machinations have failed and put his own life in jeopardy. Also, having a personal, martial conflict would always be a great risk to his cult, even if the risk of losing it was very low. Physical combat can be unpredictable after all, and there were mostly only two Sith (sometimes even one when the master hadn't taken an apprentice yet), and if the unthinkable happened, their cult would just end right there and then. @@unfortunately_fortunate2000

Thinking...Anakin with form 7, form 2 left hand form 5 right with the Counts saber in his left hand, using Maces form 7...Anakin would when! Maces form 7 uses dark force users anger/hate against them...Good Hypo!

Palpy’s was smooth, small, shiny and slippery. He got it knocked out of his hands twice

Less power and accuracy without two hands

Why not give that so called armor to storm troopers?

I don’t know what do you call a Sith out of water?

@@kennysemper2719 I did not have a reply I just was hoping someone else has a funny answer for this.

A dry sith

By Legends the dark side was not hampered when it came to cybernetic limbs and the use of force powers. Only Force Lightning required biological limbs to channel and Vader could still utilize everything else to full potential.

To cross to the dark side
