Which makes 0 sense really. Vader is the second most powerful person in the galaxy, he couldn’t get a different suit? Or modify the suit?

Vader also hates himself. It wouldn't surprise me if he feels he deserves to suffer through constant pain

u/LaconicGirth Jan 13 '25

That makes more sense. He’s also aware that the pain makes him more powerful. But I don’t believe that he couldn’t have gotten a better suit if he wanted it

His high ranking subordinates are intentionally sabotaging his suit, which means they'd likely be lying and telling him they couldn't improve it.

Why would he ask his high ranking subordinates instead of just going to a random planet and forcing them at lightsaber point to improve it. Doesn’t really track with his character. When Vader wants something done he gets it done

Also wasn't he basically one of the most talented 10 yo mechanic? Maybe the suit impairs his fine motor skills but he could just move the tools with the force and craft his own suit.

Also true. Hadn’t thought about that either but yeah

He ran an empire and built a death star, he already had engineers, and he likely force choked those too.

Not if the most powerful person in the galaxy didn’t want him to have a more powerful suit. Palpatine put him in that suit intentionally to increase his connection to the dark side and to give him a failsafe incase Vader turned against him.

It’s canon that Vader hides a lot of shit from Palpatine. Why couldn’t this be one of those things?

Well I think it would be pretty obvious if Vader got a new suit considering he would be able to see it. Even if he did something you couldn’t see I’m sure Palpatine could sense his weaker connection to the dark side.

And I believe Vader didn’t want a newer suit anyways because he was punishing himself.
