Everyone knows who Darth Vader is. His raspy voice, cool black armor and incredible power make him one of the most iconic characters in movie history. But just how powerful is he?

INTRO

Hello Star Wars fans (and Mom), my name is Joel Robinson, and this is the 16-day video countdown to Rogue One! (canned applause)

Anakin Skywalker was thought to be the Chosen One, the most powerful Jedi in history, but (spoilers) turned to the Dark Side and became the fearsome Darth Vader. Today we are diving deep into Legends to learn about just how powerful this jedi turned sith could be. 

If you believe legends, Vader actually lost much of his potential Force ability when his body was severely burned on Mustafar in Episode III, yet according to legends, he is still four fifths as powerful as the Emperor.

Regardless, he is very powerful in the Force. His abilities include:

Force Disarm - pull a weapon from an opponent
Force Choke - choke people
Force Grip - grabbing onto people and suspending people in the air
Force Push- push people or objects away
Force Blast - stronger version of Force Push
Force Wave- push back anything around him in a circular motion
Force Repulse - Force Wave, but spherical
Force Throw - throw items, such as lightsabers, at targets
Force Barriers - making protective shields
Force Deflection - redirecting blaster bolts back at the firer
Force Flight - flying in the air
Force Destruction - creating an energy field and throwing it at people, vaporizing things
Force Cloak - camouflaging himself to hide
Force Kill - destroy opponent's internal organs
Force Crush - lifting opponent into the air and causing their body to implode

He also has limited ability in Tutaminis, the manipulation of energy, and Kinetite, or Force lightning. He is also a telepath, and can read minds and extract information.

Darth Vader is also mostly robotic, thanks to his little accident on Mustafar. Because of this, he is very hard to injure or kill, since he can just replace any limbs or whatever his opponent damages. This also gives him considerably more physical strength and speed.

His armor is very durable and can survive explosions, stabbings, and falls from great heights. The air filtration system that allows him to stay alive also lets him survive in toxic atmospheres, and even in space.

Vader is very skilled at lightsaber combat, and a master of Form V. His battle style is offensive, and he attacks aggressively, but is also a strong defender, making him a formidable opponent.

Vader, as apprentice to the Emperor, also wields considerable political power, since he is essentially second in command of the entire Empire. He can do whatever the heck he wants, and no one can stop him. He is also a brilliant general and tactician.
