  • What was the reason why Palpatine chose to save Darth Vader?
    Cuz he could have left him and moved on to another apprentice like he did to Darth Maul and Count Dooku but Palpatine had his reasons for keeping the The Chosen One.
    And the Legends book Dark Lord the Rise of Darth Vader helps answer this question.
    In the book, it says that as Sidious walked over to where Vader was lying but he struggled to figure out what to do with a now half burnt apprentice.
    He even thought about letting Vader die to punish him for not being able to beat Obi-Wan.
    But in the end, he realized that it would be a waste to leave him after spending 13 years grooming Anakin Skywalker to be his Apprentice.
    And not just a waste of time but a waste of power as well.
    Cuz Palpatine knew that he would never find another person even half as powerful as Vader to replace him.
    But there was something else Palpatine thought of that was now in his control
    And that was the fact that Padme was dead and this left Vader with no attachments which Palpatine used to manipulate him.

      @@DanielTAKD That's actually the more traditional meaning of the term "grooming". It didn't have any sinister implications until a few years ago. It used to be perfectly normal to say that you were grooming your successor and generally no one would assume anything shady was happening unless there was already reason to believe that the one doing the grooming was shady in some way.

    Other factors:
    1. Palpatine realized that it would be years or even never to find someone as strong in the Force as Anakin was.
    2, Palpatine realized that he needed a public face of his Empire, someone to press the proverbial flesh/interact with the public while he pursued his goals of learning as much as he could regarding Sith legends, especially the ones about immortality.
    If Palpatine had to do the things I mentioned earlier, he wouldn't have been able to go out pursuing Sith legends.
    He figured it was better to keep Vader alive so Vader could do the things Palpatine didn't want to

      I thought palpatine still remained the face of the empire. His plan was to have Anakin be his public figure since to them he was already beloved and viewed as a hero.
      But when he lost at Mustafar all that went out the window faster than Mace did, and Palpatine chose to mask his appearance to the public with holograms like we see him do in Rebels with Ezra.

    Vader was better weaker for Palpatine. He knew that the siths work this way: the apprentice will try to kill him to take his position or the master will kill the apprentice at a moment or another.
    Palpatine took the advantage from Vader's defeat against Obi Wan.
    The other reason is that it's better for the apprentice to be in constent suffering and pain to fully embrace hate and rage, going deeper inside the dark side.

    Wrong!
    “I was pleased that when Anakin is almost brutally destroyed, Palpatine is relieved to not only find him alive but also because he is Anakin Skywalker. There is one moment that George scripted in a rather casual way where I touch Anakin’s forehead. I think that’s really the only human moment we see from Palpatine-just a moment of sympathy and compassion for another human being. Not the usual ingredients of the Sith.”

    Also like the dozens if not hundreds of surviving Jedi wandering around the galaxy, now see likely none of them could actually kill or destroy the empire, but it could still do damage to the empire and slow its progress. Also Vader (in my mainly uneducated opinion) helped keep all these Jedi divided, because they knew if they let their location be known they could expect a visit from Vader. Although yes storm troopers could kill these Jedi, Vader was just, much more effective.

    That and he’s essentially his Father. According to Disney Tie In Comic, Pappy Palps influenced the metaclorines in the force and made Shevi(?) I’m terrible with names. He basically stalked her on her way home.
    So when Rey and Ben kiss (I don’t exactly they are to one another, but Ben is Annie’s grandson an Pappy Palps essentially made Annie, while Pappy Palps had a lame child and then a force sensitive granddaughter ).
    Side note: the Jedi were so arrogant in the movies: saying The Choosen on wud bring balance to the force. Then it was he who’d stop them then it was he who’d eliminate the Sith. But Annie did bring balance to the force by bringing the Jedi down to t he Sith. The Sith even knew more than two was enough and more would just be sheer arrogance , chaos, incompetence and stupidity.
    I think that both sides were meant to end, and ones who could balance both wud replace the Jedi and the Sith. I thought his even before the last minute McGuffin Esq “Diad Of the Force”.

    It seems like a loophole and writing mistake if compared to reality circumstances. Sure maybe vader helps invade the universe quicker but he was a threat even if only somewhat compared to whoever was left in the known universe. Palpatine is ruthless and has killed his allies before for mistakes and weaknesses and failing him and it falls in line with his character not this mercy crap he should anakin in the prequels. At the very least he could have killed him after a few years. Just because the jedi were dead doesn't mean force sensitive users were still being made by the force overtime. He could have trained another. I mean within palpatines lifetime he seen his master who was elite, yoda, obi won, quid and dooku, mace, luke and darth, maul as very powerful users who blossomed so others could have been found as it was not some anomaly. Don't forget princess leau was full of luke level potential. Based on how the story played put through the prequels, it was out of character to save him. It was also stupid how darth vader was so loyal for so long when his love of his life never got resurrected. How long can you string along someone without losing patience?
