    That was actually EXACTLY why I thought Vader did it. Clearly he wanted Palpatine out of the way, but Luke was going to kill him to save his friends, not seize Palpatine's power.

  • @ozmozis6073
    @ozmozis6073 Před 21 hodinou

    This is incomplete. Vader didn't consider after all he'd experienced with Palpatine, through years of abuse and punishment, how Palpatine would just allow Vader and Luke to simple take over. There was no way Palpatine would allow a two on one and if Vader sensed Luke was strong, so to would Palpatine. Vader didn't think this through very well and wasn't thinking clearly. We don't see this stage through the eyes of Palpatine which is disappointing. He knew he didn't want a father and son combo and he only tacitly accepted the rule of two. Would he have trained Luke as an apprentice, if he intended to live forever? Did he still need a Sith enforcer like Vader? Doubt it. If Luke had lost, would he be placed on ice and his body cloned? Would Vader want this desecration of his son, the last vestige of his and Padme's love to be experimented on?

    Obi Wan tricked his little brother. The end. He knew he was a sucker for Maul and the way he defeated Maul. Anakin turns to the Darkside and decides to make the same mistake Maul did. In wanting to prove he was more powerful than Obi-Wan, which he was however he also made the next mistake Maul did as well, who was also more powerful than Obi-Wan when they dueled, underestimating Obi-Wan which is a recurring theme in Star Wars.

    Vader wasn't certain he and Luke could defeat the Emporer. He knew Palpatine wasn't defenseless. If he hadn't deflected the attack, the Emporer might've destroyed both of them.

    "The core of Anakin that resides in Vader understands that Tatooine is the source of nearly everything that causes him pain. Vader will never set foot on Tatooine, if only out of fear of re-awakening Anakin."

  • @samuelwilliams4978

    The attempt to kill the emperor could have been Luke Skywalker trying to finish what Mace Windu and the Jedi intended to do in the past. Luke's attempts to kill the emperor were for the just reasons, Windu said, " I am going to end this once and for all. He has control of the senate and the courts, he's to dangerous to be left alive". I beg to say, Luke was not giving into the darkside but was trying to fulfill the Jedi mission, "once and for all".

    I think it is unfair of me to say this sounds silly, but does it? At this point Darth Vader is also still smart, and he knows both the stakes, and the players. Let's say he saves the Emperor, but then what? If one of them doesn't die that day, then Luke and Vader will still be permanently separated. Vader MUST know that, ideally, Sidious wants to retire him, and upgrade to the new Skywalker model; a young, powerful Force-user who hasn't been ravages by fire, and who has been trained by the Jedi, but also shown their hypocrisy, making his allegiance to them at least less. Once Luke is even close, the Emperor could easily merc Vader, and use that pain to further shape Luke, so I can't see why Vader envisions a tomorrow where all three are alive, but he still has access to Luke, to shape him into a more useful tool? If Palpatine doesn't just outright kill Vader, then he still just sends him off on pointless enforcer missions, while he focuses on training Luke, and using threats against Vader to steer him. There isn't a verse where the Emperor let's them both live, and collaborate, and grow into the next big threat against him. If he could have found his son in secret, and trained him like he trained Galen Marek, then MAYBE, assuming that they could didge spies, and Palpatine's own precognition, but once they were all in the DS throne room, that was a Thunder Dome; one of them had to leave in a bag. I can see why Vader didn't want Luke to waste Palpatine then, but not how he planned for them to both survive, and train up to challenge the Emperor, at a later date; the Sith Master simply wouldn't have permitted it, either by killing Vader there, and using that to enrage the boy, or by separating them, and training Luke himself, while keeping Vader permanently housed elsewhere, now that he was, for the most part, unnecessary.
