Why Was Darth Malgus Darth Vader's Hero?
Darth Vader was one of the most powerful and ruthless sith Lords the Galaxy had ever seen. However, he could have been far more powerful and far more ruthless. Palpatine was well aware of how Vader was held back by his crippling physical injuries and maybe more importantly his depression. Hoping to inspire Vader, Palpatine gifted him with part of Malgus's journal. Vader noted how Malgus shared many similarities with himself, notably his warrior mindset and cybernetic suit. However, they differed in one crucial way. Vader struggled to be fully committed to the dark side due to his attachment to Padme and past life as a Jedi. Malgus was very different and actually killed his own lover as he perceived this as a weakness that could be used against him. Vader aspired to one day be as immersed in the dark side as Malgus, although his attachment and previous life as Anakin Skywalker would always pull him back to the light.

Yeah, it did make him stronger with the Dark Side but made him mentally conflicted and torn.

@yggunshot8402 2 жыл бұрын

@@Vic-pg4rg i think it provided him with both conflict and clarity. You see, Malgus always favored the sith empire over his relationship with Eleena, he even outright says it through speech/internal monologue from time to time and he feels this way because he believes that he was born for conquest/war. His relationship with Eleena was genuine, but it could never have topped the delusional beliefs that he had lived by for years. After a while, his relationship with Eleena became a liability simply because he loved her too much. His career as a sith had been put in a particularly bad position as his bond with Eleena always required him to protect her whilst also allowing his enemies to exploit this weakness. By killing her, he resolved the conflict and wasn't entirely torn but he did have to live with her memory.

I think for the creators it’s hard to justify moving away from the common parts of Star Wars. We knew characters some characters during prequels we knew some characters during the sequels, and obviously the original trilogy. And these new Star Wars shows are built around older characters or are in a memorable era. Going away from all of that is a bit scary for the creators of the media. If you fail to deliver then you’re out of your job.

Malgus was trapped with his lover against a republic armada.

The power he gained that day was not him discarding a weakness. Was a husband honoring the last wish of his wife and becoming a warrior with no weaknesses that could cost him his life.
