SuperVaderMan

Cody (born: 1991 [age 31-32]), better known online as SuperVaderMan, is an American gaming YouTuber who uploaded gameplay videos exclusively of video games.
==Personal Life==
Many details of his personal life were discussed in his 15,000 subscriber Q&A video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zrivbgEB3c 
As his channel name would suggest, Cody is a Star Wars fan. He explained that both the film Star Wars: Episode 2, and the video game Star Wars: Galaxies got him into the franchise. 
Despite once being a big Star Wars fan, Cody mentioned that he didn't like the franchise as much as he used to. This was due to Disney's acquisition of Star Wars, which he greatly disliked and believed was taking the franchise in a terrible direction. For him this was especially true after the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and in some videos he has criticized the Star Wars sequel trilogy, the animated show Star Wars: Rebels, and other Disney Star Wars properties. 
He has no known social media accounts besides YouTube, and explained that he didn't see a point in using sites such as Twitter and Facebook. 
Aside from Star Wars, he has mentioned having a passion for game development. He went to an unnamed art institute college during the height of his YouTube career, and lives in the United States. 
==YouTube Career==
Cody created his channel on August 19, 2006. However, he didn't upload his first video until March 15, 2011. He stated that he started the channel because of his love of watching lets players in the late 2000's and early 2010's, and wanted to start his own gaming-based channel. 
His channel exclusively focused on Star Wars games such as Star Wars: Republic Commando, Star Wars: Empire at War, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. He had a fairly consistent schedule and typically uploaded 2-3 videos weekly. However, due to college there would sometimes be long gaps in between uploads. While focusing mostly on singleplayer content he did branch into multiplayer occasionally. He did two multiplayer Star Wars: Battlefront 2 videos, as well as the entirety of his Star Wars Galaxies playthrough being essentially multiplayer.
==Hiatus and Inactivity==
After uploading a video on January 20, 2013, Cody would take a two and a half year hiatus, returning on June 27, 2015 with an update video. In said video he explained why he was gone and his future plans for the channel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpFF5YykrT4 He returned to gaming videos on the same day with part one of a Star Wars: Dark Forces let's play. On April 20, 2016, he uploaded a Q&A video to celebrate hitting 15,000 subscribers, and continued uploading videos until April 1, 2017, when he took another hiatus. He returned on May 4, 2018 and uploaded a final video discussing the state of the channel. He mentioned that he had been searching for a job and further stated that he hadn't felt like uploading, not being sure if or when he would return to video making.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bZofov4qB4
As of July 2023, he hasn't uploaded since and has remained inactive. He has no known social media accounts aside from his YouTube channel, so there was/is no way to communicate with him besides through said channel. As a result, there is no current way to know if Cody ever plans to return to YouTube. His fans have spent time speculating on why he left and if he will ever return. One notable comment posted by the user "The One" stated, "For those wondering where he went, SVM's mentioned he has a passion for game development. People in that field can attest to the fact that the industry bleeds them dry. Long hours are common, so if SVM managed to find work in the field, he probably has neither time nor energy to create videos.”
