Darth Vader’s armor is often associated with how slow and clunky Anakin becomes inside of it, but it actually makes him the perfect Jedi killer.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Darth Vader’s armor, whose importance to Vader is sometimes overlooked in the Star Wars universe, helps explain why he is the toughest opponent a Jedi can run into. Whether Anakin Skywalker would have been more powerful had he not fallen to the dark side is open for debate.
Palpatine rescued Anakin Skywalker in Mustafar and replaced what had been lost from his body with special armor. Darth Vader’s armor includes a life-supporting system, which is why targeting Vader’s suit can be key to defeating him. Not only does Darth Vader’s armor have an imposing presence, but it also comes in handy whenever Vader is dueling a Jedi.
Darth Vader's Armor Can Resist Enemy Attacks - And Even Lightsabers It is widely assumed that Darth Vader’s armor is nothing but a heavy and clunky addition that only makes Anakin’s body slower. While Darth Vader’s armor does impose some limitations, it still is a formidable addition to the Sith Lord’s arsenal that makes him the perfect Jedi killer. Canon Star Wars comics have shown that Vader’s armor can resist Force lightning, although there is a limit to this resistance.
A small detail in The Empire Strikes Back helps put in perspective how resistant Darth Vader’s armor can be against a lightsaber. When Luke and Vader are dueling in Cloud City, Luke’s lightsaber bounced off Vader’s neck. Of course, Vader’s armor has weaknesses, most likely the joints. In addition, there are examples of how Darth Vader’s armor and mask could not completely save him from an attack.
Darth Vader's Armor Makes Him A Tank In addition to essentially replacing what was gone from Anakin Skywalker’s body, Darth Vader’s armor makes him into a tank. Vader can advance relentlessly against any opponent, regardless if they are wielding a lightsaber. Even if a Jedi manages to get past Darth Vader’s guard, which by itself is a huge challenge considering how skillful with a lightsaber Anakin is, the armor will still protect the Sith Lord.
