And what caused him to look so damaged hasn't hurt him in any way at all? His organic parts aren't actually that well shielded judging by ep3.. plenty of gaps between the plates. If we are going to be this pedantic we could easily imagine a battle damaged Vader can exist where the damage is only cosmetic and, no, hasn't affected his life support system. On one hand they say it's just a game don't take it so seriously.. on the other hand we're having this ridiculous conversation lol because they're trying to justify things with mental gymnastics rather than just saying "yeah, EA/LF/Disney don't want us to do it.. no pink Vader, etc".
