Vader respected star wars cannon..

Vader is canon. That’s it.

Because it was invented after he debuted on the big screen. Pretty straight forward actually.

Exactly, he doesn't need a gimmick to win. The fact this guy got hit on the helmet or was forced to block with the gauntlet says alot about his fighting skill. If he didn't have it he would have died. Needed, that hidden short blade too, to kill the padawan that was pressing him.

true and requires more cortosis ore to repair any damages ...lot more...also it has more benefits like its very light and not heavy as beskar is very heavy and slow down the wearer ...vadar cluckiness walking makes him breath harder but for corosis...its make wearer do lot more in his moves that make him very stronger and faster with it ...teneborus use entire armor made of cortosis...it makes him make moves you can't imagine how quick he use life saber and use force efficient with red lighting due to effects of cortosis...basically...he the scarry villian not to cross path with...least to qimir ...he force to follow him around but warn him not jump into pool on planet ...it heals his wounds and give his youth almost immortal ...

On the bright side, while it shorts out lightsabers, it’s easily welded with an electric toothbrush. 🙄

If I got that cortosis helmet, I'd turn I into a rapier.... no light Saber, just stabby stabby.

Cortosis is volatile and easy to fracture and break. It may shorten out the lightsaber but is not very effective against a blaster even after shortening out the lightsaber it started to chip off in that fight with the new Disney show.

In The Force Awakens, even a stormtrooper officer has a melee weapon that can block a lightsaber. It’s questionable that why lightsaber proof armors ain’t everywhere 😅

But hey, *Star Wars Comics* is what it is. _Steadily losing credibility with every single posted video._

Cortosis is a brittle metal that could brake from normal blunt force trauma as well

I don't think that the Impeacher's wish list was seriously thought out.

In Mandolin Season 2, when Din defended himself from Asokha, he used his forearm bracers for defense, and the jet pack, flame thrower, and rope thing. When Satine was ruling the Mandalorians, it would have been easier (though not EASY) for any Jedi in the war to get such a set of bracers. Blocked blasters like Wonder Woman, and still have a light saber. Stun guns built in, maybe even a small this blaster, like a pistol. Store the lightsaber there, instead of hanging it on your belt. Life sign trackers, with some kind of distress beacon. The Jedi are like Starfleet. “Oh, we don’t make warships, we’re peaceful.” Except the Klingon war, the Borg war, and the Dominion. Just because you don’t want to be on a war footing, doesn’t mean you aren’t. And the way to save more lives in a war is to win it very very quickly. Intentionally limiting your own abilities isn’t honorable, it’s just more collateral damage and death so you can pat yourself on the back for not being a heartless killer. That’s vanity, not honor.

Chainmail with Beskar and Cortosis would be unstoppable

Because none of the previous writers thought of it.

Simple answer: It didn’t exist when Vader was originally created. He then became too iconic to change before Cortosis was a thing in the EU.

The real question is why doesn't ALL of the Clone Troopers working directly under Lord Sidious & Vader have their suits made out of Cortosis?

Because it didn't exist in the late 70s when star wars was created, there was no jar jar either thank god

Because he doesn’t have the power of Maany

Vader never had it, because it never existed until not long ago. Vader been around since Episode 4. pretty easy to answer.

Cortosis is only new cannon, that’s actually why, and it wasn’t intended to be in Star Wars

Acolyte ep 7 in T- minus 35 minutes baby!

Cere got quite close to f-ing him up.

Probably the style wasn't in during the late 70s

What do you mean why? It is a newly invented helmate shown on the latest SW show. Why do you need a reason? 😂😂😂😂😂

Knowing what we know of Cortosis, did the Mandalorians in their flicked relationship with the Jedi, ever use it in their weapons, maybe mixed in someway with Beskar? Was it used on the DS1 or 2 as a shield etc

Because he didn't need it.

I’m sure he’d need Palpatine’s permission and he’s not gonna armor his apprentice in a material that turns off lightsabers and absorbs energy

thats because the metal is impractical against blasters

Because the acolyte broke all lore

boba fett shot vader in the forehead of his helmet with a blaster when they were dueling in the comics. Although it might not be canon anymore im not sure /shrug

i wonder if each tooth on the mask is a jedi he killed idk. trying to make sense of the herp a derp look

Umm the real reason Vader never used better armor is dude to emperor . He made Vader weaker in a sense to make him stronger. Vader could have been made into the perfect super soldier but empy didn’t want him like that . He wanted Vader in pain and weak

The "schedule" post? I'll have to reread that one. They really tried to make hay out of it, along with the "winning" post.

Cus it hadn’t been made up yet

Could have still upgraded non life essential components like his limbs.

What about something like a personal shield like the ones that cover a entire body? Could that be more reliable than cortosis?

The down falls of Vader are. This character came before the lore. So now everything has to match up to 3 very old films.

Vadar was a pure duelest he did not want no chests lr advantages in his fights if he lost the other guy was the better man thats it thats all.

How the clone Civil War work in star wars?

Why did he not just get beskar armour

Cuz it did not exist. God I hate when people try to explain stuff added after the fact that makes no sense.

This response no longer holds any valid points because we have seem Vader out of his suit twice in disney star wars.

... as some pointed out there was no concept of cortosis when original trilogy released in 1970's. of course Vadar has 0 idea at that time. now you guys plug this new concept back into original story... omg.

vader could have doen a lot of thngs but he lost his potential, being able to see the future dark side clouds everything

Why? Because it is nonsense

Nice use of the word "frangible"

"useless as armor" um.. there are litearlly WHOLE tribes who use this stuff as a rite of passage. The Jannisarri (sp?) come to mind, and I know they were not the only ones whom did so. Not the I believe that the ones whom were writing The Acolyte would either know or give a care about anything that Fans do. Funny how Fans come up with 1000 ideas for EVERYTHING related to the IP, where the writers and owners can not seem to write their way out of wet paper bags. *sigh*

Darth Vader is above & better then this show

Because none of his writers were so terrible as the ones doing the Acolyte, lol. I just heard that the short run times of this show were mandated by Disney execs, which further explains how this show ended up so bad. How are you supposed to tell a coherent story when you don't even have enough time for it to develop? This is by far the worst of all of the Disney Star Wars shows, even BoBF's supreme cheeseball writing was better than this convoluted clusterfuck of an attempt at a show.

I enjoy your videos but let's be real. What you are trying to do in this video is spin canon to make it make sense. The real reason (the one everybody knows) is that Cortosis wasn't "thought" of or "created" until decades after the Original Trilogy. It wasn't in the mind of Lucas when he created Darth Vader. I appreciate you trying to find a narrative that fits but let's all come back down to Earth for just a minute and understand that all of this is a retcon. You are retconning the Original Trilogy to make a good story. I don't have a problem with retconning becasue the story is always more important. Also, I'm used to George retconning left, right and center in every movie he made after the first one. Most importantly I just wanted to point out to all the angry fans who hate retcons and care more about canon than a good story. You sir, care about a good story, and you will retcon to make one. That's the point. The fandom needs to chillout and enjoy the galaxy far, far away (like you do). Anyways. Good luck with your channel, cheers!

A new element being added to a story isn’t a ret-con. It’s only a ret-con if it conflicts with previously stated cannon. Cortosis existing does not conflict with the training for why palps made vaders suit the way he did, and why he didn’t ever upgrade it. Those facts were established later in cannon and did not conflict with the movies either. By your logic anything added into a franchise or universe later on would technically be a retcon, and this is not the case. Yes ofc cortosis was not in the OT, but it being added on is not a ret-con, it does not conflict with how we know his suit was made, or why he never upgraded it, it’s just an addition to the lore.

Or wait am I getting it wrong and it’s just a New Hope? So Yoda is a retcon, oh and Boba Fett, dang Jaba the Hutt too. WOW that’s a lot. Retcon Definition-Google : (in a film, television series, or other fictional work) a piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency. Things that drastically change the story or force you to Interpret it in a diff way are retcons, “like palps arriving after episode 6”, but small things like adding cortosis as a new type of metal that existed when Vader made his suit is not. It is simply and added story element that can be used to speculate on how it integrates with the cannon we already have. It does not impose (or force) a new Interpretation of events. Because it does not change how his suit was made, and why it was made the way it was.

@@ninetiesrelic2975 also yes when things are added by the owners of a franchise/IP to the cannon they are automatically a part of the world. Disney owns the SW IP, so they get to dictate what cannon is. And whether or not people may see it that way, that’s how it works. In the same way that DC gets to dictate what’s cannon to the current Justice League comics, or James Cameron does with Avatar. Whoever owns/creates the franchise gets to decided cannon, not the fans.
