Am I the only who doesn't understand how Darth Vader died? He only got his robotic hand chopped off by Luke and suffered no other injuries yet then after throwing Palatine down the drain he died?
Am I the only who doesn't understand how Darth Vader died...
He just ran the shutdown command.
palpatine fried him with lightning
He zapped by Palpatine you retard
Wasnt there a RLM episode a few years back where they went over Vader's wookipedia page and it said that Vader's suit was purposely made vulnerable to electric attacks so Palps could keep him in line?
Palpatine fried his breathing mechanism on his suit.
I agree OP when I was a kid in 19997 I didnt get it either
He did of a broken heart like Padme. Its like poetry so that it rhymes.
But Palpatine was frying Luke for quite a while and Luke was fine. Then Vader picked the emperor up and throwing him down taking just a little bit of lighting but compared to Luke, that was nothing: youtu.be
yes, that's all canon. his suit was made specifically to dampen his connection to the force and leave him vulnerable to dark side powers, lightning especially.

He was more machine then flesh and got zapped, what's not to get?
The Sheev Palaptine General Hospital
Still cracks me up
Sheev's electric hands broke Vader's life support suit. Vader was kinda tired of living anyway.
This seems like the most likely answer, it wasn't the lighting that killed him but the lighting destroying his suit that was keeping him alive that killed him.
It really blows my mind how retarded most users on this site are. No wonder a bunch of them like the prequels.
The greatest detective in the universe finds out Vader's weakness
Vader lost the will to live. Like Padme. It's like pottery.
the OT is such garbage
The only good Star Wars is Andor and Rogue One. Those are serious, mature stories that reflect the real world. Everything else is a kid's story for babies.
To be fair, had he lived he would have been tried as a war criminal for being Palpatine's second in command and committing so many atrocities in the name of the Empire. There was no happy ending waiting for him
No he returned to the light side so its ok. This guy blew up an entire solar system, apologized, and Luke made him a Jedi Master.
the dark side was keeping vader alive.
when luke "saved" him, luke actually killed vader for realsies.
i agree with that, but add on phantom menace and attack of the clones. those movies have a lot of complexity that goes over people's heads
He gets electrocuted and you immediately hear that his breathing sounds completely distorted and fucked up. Palpatine destroyed his suit
luke didnt have electronics he needed to breath
Why didn't Anakin warn Luke that Palpatine was planning on returning?

Seriously how could anyone not notice it
In SW rebels S2E22 "Twilight of the Apprentice how did Vader and Askoha escape the explosion?
Muh prequels outta no where
But that's evil!
suffered no other injuries
You didn't see his skeleton?
Prequel haters always come across as secret sequel enjoyers. Why is that?
Because the sequels (9 aside) are good movies and the prequels aren't?
all the sequels were great, now some faggots whine about them, but back them they were a massive success, you fucking faggot, episode 3 was a big deal back then, people loved it, shut the fuck up.
you lost, mike
As a kid I always assumed the emperor was using the force to keep him alive with sith magic and when he turned on him and was killled the bond/spell was broken. In the prequels later when palpatine said there were ways to bring back people from death I just felt that was basically what he did for anakin as it wasn't just the machines and suit keeping him alive but the will of the emperor
They had to wrap the movie up and get rid of the two bad guys at the same time in the stupidest way possible. They allocated all of the time they could have done something cool with Vader, the Emperor and Luke, into the Ewoks, for merchandising
He gets electrocuted and you immediately hear that his breathing sounds completely distorted and fucked up. Palpatine destroyed his suit
His breathing is labored before when Luke beats him down with the lightsaber and lops off his hand. It's just him straining to breathe because he's under duress, not because his suit isn't functioning anymore
That makes the most thematic sense. I figured it would be something like that.
i made that shit up.
I’m pretty sure Palpy was taking his time with Luke torturing him and when Vader grabbed him he set the lightning to crispy
