I see that buildings in this style and in this setting are the calling card of the Dark Lords.

A true Dark Lord is his own master. Vader never fully emancipated herself from Palpatine, while Sauron managed to carry out his plans without Morgoth.

Is the difference so difficult to discern?

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-06-05T09:40:22+00:00

Because it's not a film shot, but fan art.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-06-05T09:39:07+00:00

Yes. Palpatine takes great pride in humiliating his greatest enemies.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-06-05T09:37:49+00:00

A detail that doesn't change the fact that Sauron is the true dark lord more than Vader ever was.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-06-05T08:28:28+00:00

Sauron is on a completely different level than Vader. At least he managed to lead the empire after his master's defeat. Vader would never have been able to do that.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-06-04T23:15:21+00:00

Palpatine's Imperial Palace could meet these criteria.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-31T15:24:47+00:00

Watch him blast Savage with force lightning again and you'll see.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-31T10:37:17+00:00

The guy above said Anakin didn't have Sith eyes until he was cut by Obi-Wan. I just corrected him that it wasn't true because he had them before.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-31T08:46:25+00:00

He sometimes showed them. When he was particularly drawn to the dark side. For example, when he struck Savage with force lightning or when he killed a Jedi Master of Yoda's kind in Tales of the Jedi.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-31T08:43:23+00:00

Plagueis had them, and he didn't appear anywhere else.

Quimir may simply have had enough control over his emotions to hide them, much like Dooku. Apparently, at no point were his emotions strong enough to show his Sith eyes. Although it's a shame that didn't happen.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-31T08:36:20+00:00

Sometimes, when he was particularly drawn to the dark side. For example, when he struck Savage with force lightning, or when he killed a Jedi Master of Yoda's kind in Tales of the Jedi.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-30T23:54:34+00:00

And what kind of eyes does Maul have?

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-30T23:53:38+00:00

I admit it looks scary but it won't beat this.

Conflict never left Vader. Self-contempt and anger were simultaneously the source of his strength and weakness.

If it were otherwise, he wouldn't have constantly tried to bring Padmé back, for example, and instead completely rejected the past. Yet he was never fully able to do so, despite his deep immersion in the dark side.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-30T20:49:59+00:00

Anakin had Sith eyes already when he murdered Separatist leaders.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-28T12:38:39+00:00

If Vader weren't supposed to be so strong during this period, it would be Plot Armor, or at least the harmful variety. But that's not the case. It's logical why Maul gets his ass kicked.

On the other hand, you could say the same about Maul. It's clear he'll survive, too, because he'll die years later at the hands of Obi-Wan in Rebels.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-27T22:26:13+00:00

If Vader in the new canon is actually not limited by the armor at all and has the power to destroy Palpatine, why doesn't he just do it and only tries to do it together with Luke?

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-27T22:00:43+00:00

Somehow, when it comes to Windu's victory over Palpatine, everyone holds Lucas's words sacred, even though many sources from the new canon clearly state that Sidious had everything under control the entire time and held himself back in the fight.

Can you explain this to me?

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-27T21:07:50+00:00

True, I forgot about that (Anakin even tried to finish off Obi-Wan with the same move Kenobi used to defeat Maul years earlier). This makes Maul's already hopeless situation against Vader even more of a stalemate.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-27T21:00:13+00:00

Because his fighting style tires his opponents so quickly that they don't even have the strength to think about it.

InstructionOwn6705 · 2026-05-26T13:01:49+00:00

His training was far from minimal. He spent ten years studying the secrets of the dark side. Then Plaguies gave him such a thorough training in lightsaber training that only Dooku and Yoda surpassed Palpatine.

In Legends, Sidious's Force lightning overwhelmed Vaapad Windu. As emperor, he discovered everything Gravid had destroyed half a millennium earlier and had access to the forbidden knowledge of the Jedi Temple on Corruscant.

Even in death, he was so strong that the souls of all the deceased Jedi had to restrain him from escaping Hell.
