I mean, he really can't run for a long time. The amount of metal in him makes it physically impossible to run for long periods of time. So instead of running he uses the force to help him get where he needs to be fast. Other than that he just needs to be a bad ass and walk where ever he goes, his strength with the force could easily prevent people from running. But that walk can instill fear into someone, which can be used as a weapon.
I absolutely love the detail that it’s not the footsteps that terrify her, it’s the breathing. The footsteps could’ve been anyone but there’s no denying who that breathing belongs to.

Darth vader is terrifying. He is a force only limited by how much rage remains in his heart at any point. He is always seconds away from a complete outlash and there is nothing anyone on either the dark side or light side that can slow, impair, or even stop him at any point. He's quite literally a bomb ready to go off at any second of time. The fact he picks off his own side including his army for inconveniencing him or failing is truly terrifying! An awesome villian for sure.

Imagine every waking moment of your life being met with the most agonizing pain you could imagine. It would be enough to put anyone to the point of snapping at a moments notice.

The way this game handled Vader was amazing. Over the course of the game, having played at one of the harder difficulties, you had to struggle for every inch, and could feel your skills improving little by little. You learned deadly new techniques and learned how best to use them for maximum effect. By the time you reached the end nothing posed an insurmountable challenge, and as long as you weren't careless you were an unstoppable, deadly force of nature no matter who or what you faced. You felt like a god. Then you meet Vader. All your strongest techniques, all your best subterfuge, all the tricks that have served you so well time and again he either deflects or adapts to in the few seconds you're fighting him. You feel like despite everything you've learned and how strong you've become he's in a completely different league, so far above you you may as well be an insect to him. Which is exactly how he should be.
Couldn't have said it better. Loved how they potrayed Vader in this game. He isn't supposed to be a villain, rather an unstoppable force of nature you can't mess with.

I love that the objective was to escape him. Because no way did Cal stand a chance against Vader so you just have to leg it. Also I didn't even know this was the objective at first. I just saw Vader and made a run for it.
I was just imagining that lol I mean he probably has that expression on "Don't make this harder for yourself, young one, just surrender and perhaps you live"
He wasn't trying to destroy him, he was trying to subdue him and recruit him to his cause. Kinda counter productive to kill the intended person, wouldn't you say? Not to mention he held back in order to test Luke's progress. On the second DS he held back because he didn't want to kill his son but disguised it as being "loyal" to Sidious' plan. If Luke wasn't his son, or he didn't know about that fact. Then yes, Luke would pretty much have died on Bespin, (then again, the situation probably wouldn't have developed to what it was in that case either) but probably have kept up an even fight at least on the second DS.

The rumor is that the entire Obi-Wan series existed to set up Reva's own series, which is given more credibility when you consider her insane levels of plot armor. KK used a legacy character to set up a newer, more PC character and no one can say it's such a surprise.

@@Kristoff_Smith Yeah, both Vader and the Emperor would have preferred to turn Luke rather than kill him. It's only after threatening to go after Leia that Luke briefly breaks and gives in to the Dark Side that he's able to overpower Vader.
I love how that make you feel that Traya was some powerful in this fight only to show you how little she was and how little you are against a real sith.
Vadar is iconic - but I never really felt how scary he was… until this part of the game. The heaviness of his steps when he approaches, the pure power and helplessness he made me feel was amazing. I felt like the entire game I was just playing with a toy lightsaber.
This whole sequence is done SO well, but the thing that really gets me is at the beginning. Her reaction. Just… imagine it, for a second. Imagine being SO terrified, so utterly scared of something that all you can do when you encounter it is… stand there. Spine ramrod straight, breath coming in short, quick bursts. Heart beating a hundred miles a minute, adrenaline screaming through your veins with nowhere to go. Your brain is alternately yelling, “Fight!” and, “Run!”, but you can do neither - because you know there is no point. Now imagine being able to INSTILL that sort of fear, not even by your presence but by the sound of your approach alone. THAT is Darth… … fucking… … Vader.
Imagine that and he’s not the only villain we have to outlast and fear. Imagine other villains in a survival horror game: Nihilus, Maul, the Emperor himself, and more.
Darth Vader is better portrayed here, in the three minutes he appears in this game, than the half hour or so amount of screentime he gets in the Obi-Wan show.
I don't know about that. Cal was a measly padawan when Order 66 happened, while Obi-Wan was a skilled Jedi Master. Cal basically gained what is a limited amount of skill compared to Obi-Wan from start to end of Fallen Order. And Vader has long been known for his obsession of hunting down his old master, and ruthless during any Jedi hunt, just as shown in the show when he killed innocent people in trying to get Obi-Wan to show himself.
*looks to the village scene, the horror esque chase scene, pulling the ship down with the force, and the duels with Obi Wan and Reva* Yeah, Vader was actually badass in the Obi Wan show, idk what deathsticks you've been smoking!
I like how the force and vadar have evolved over time. Initially it was a HUGE DEAL that you could move a single rock, but now this guy is literally ripping a station apart with his mind
well thats the inquisitors job and they executed his entrance perfectly. when i played it i never knew he was even it in, let alone being able to (kind of) fight him
what i love most about this is that Vader got the terrifying aurora he deserves instead of it being the classic “i’m still a jedi in training but i managed to beat up Vader somehow”
The soundtrack of Anakin's Dark Deeds during this was absolute perfection. When I first watched that scene in RotS of him cutting down the Separatists on Mustafar with this track playing, and seeing his glowing Sith eyes, being only 6 years old, I was petrified. And now again with Vader in the suit fully, officially consumed by the darkness, fueled by pure anger and hatred, to where he's become the final boss in a game... Except, what is this? With no health bar? Only means one thing. One objective to win. Run.
1:10 I find it funny that on paper is sounds like quippy Marvel dialogue, which has no place in a scene like this, and is very overused nowadays, and thanks to the VA's excellent performance, it feels very human and *real* Good stuff
I love scenes where you get to see what Vader is like to the every day trooper or how his mere presence could paralyze people and this scene is one of those examples
I never played the game; I can't tell is Vader using the force to make her stand there, or is she just pissing herself because she knows he's in the room
@@Lickaboss2344 no no no it's OBVIOUS Vader is HOLDING her. You can hear a very specific force grab and hold sound effect, pretty much from the beginning of the clip. There's no reason to assume it's anything else but Vader's use of the force.
@Neonytic You're correct, but she's also scared as fuck. As soon as she heard his first breath (the steps aren't really a giveaway, but the breathing is a dead giveaway), she was immediately filled with fear, and then he force held her right after she realized it was him (which made things even worse for her).
I mean peak starkiller is essentially a living god, he's just as strong as Vader if not more. Galen is so strong that I wish they didn't make him noncanon. Outside of Vader Galen is probably one of my favorite star wars characters
@@Lickaboss2344 if they remade the original trilogy Not that they should But holy fuck how strong would they make him with all the special fx and technology now
Am I the only one that busts out laughing every time Vader just flings Ceer to the side with one little hand movement :D it's so funny, terrifying and accurate at the same time :D
3:43 What terrifying the most is fighting a big ass giant who only uses 1 hand to beat the shit out of you while his other hand is scratching his balls.
This is one of the best big baddie reveals in any video game. I had hear Vader was going to be in this game but all the same his entrance sent absolute chills down my spine. I remember thinking "SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT" running away from him, thinking that at any point if you slipped or stopped Vader would get you and Cal would be dead.
I love that they didn't fall back on using the Imperial March for Vader's entrance. The ominous choir and bassy synths give the whole thing a really menacing air.
This scene was the perfect way to end the game, i was completely taken by surprise when he showed up his first breath spooked me! Then I felt the urge to run as the music intensified And Everything was falling apart around me I felt his rage chasing right behind me
"A lot of people are recognized for their deeds, quotes, and actions. What makes you recognizable from the rest?" Darth Vader: *Silently just breathing*
That "oh ****** " moment when I realized he DID NOT HAVE A HEALTH BAR is what sealed this as one of my absolute favorite starwars games. I legitimately had fear irl as I was running from him.
She knew Vader killed those children at the temple, but I’ve always wondered if she knew who was under the mask, did she know that Vader was once Anakin, Jedi General, hero of the Republic, and the great hope of the Jedi order?
Majority of the galaxy had no idea who Vader was, hell he was basically a masked boogeyman who's origins was unclear especially to those who served him. Only Sidious, and eventually Luke and Obi Wan would know him
Not kidding, top5 scenes of gaming for me. The atmosphere and look of unfettered fear, the building score, the chase. Just chefs kiss. I've never seen vaders presence done so well
I loved the who are you flick of the hand (oh no I guess I'm of to take a lava bath). The fact that the Inquisitor already accepted she was dead and didn't even try to beg just tells you everything about how Vader was.
The most terrifying thing about Vader is that he never runs
Vader makes sure his target is dead, and he'll chase far and beyond to accomplish it.
I mean, he really can't run for a long time. The amount of metal in him makes it physically impossible to run for long periods of time. So instead of running he uses the force to help him get where he needs to be fast. Other than that he just needs to be a bad ass and walk where ever he goes, his strength with the force could easily prevent people from running.

He's all about the saying "Run. Run. I'll catch you without running."
All the most iconic killers in media history never run after their victims

@@isaiahgeorge906 I am quite sure they wont miss that opportunity to feed us terrifying Vader like here.
0:59
Literally Vader rising up his eyebrows after sayins "You would be wise to surrender."
XD
I was just imagining that lol I mean he probably has that expression on "Don't make this harder for yourself, young one, just surrender and perhaps you live"
If this Vader met Luke on Cloud city or the second death star, he'd be toast.
He wasn't trying to destroy him, he was trying to subdue him and recruit him to his cause. Kinda counter productive to kill the intended person, wouldn't you say? Not to mention he held back in order to test Luke's progress. On the second DS he held back because he didn't want to kill his son but disguised it as being "loyal" to Sidious' plan.
If Luke wasn't his son, or he didn't know about that fact. Then yes, Luke would pretty much have died on Bespin, (then again, the situation probably wouldn't have developed to what it was in that case either) but probably have kept up an even fight at least on the second DS.
Difference between son and stranger I guess
@@BFCrusader he wanted to take revenge on luke and kill him lmao

For the first time, the thought entered Vader's consciounsness that his son might best him.
He was astounded by the strength Luke had acquired since their last duel, in the Cloud City-not to mention the boy's timing, which was unexpected circumstance. Unexpected and unwelcome. Vader felt humiliation crawling in on the tail of his reaction, which was surprise, and his second, which was fear. And then the edge of humiliation curled up, to reaveal bald anger. And now he wanted revenge
@@Alphaj0rman no, vader was holding back and did not want to hurt him, he wanted him to join him, so he was just holding him off until he gave in.
@@Alphaj0rBro we watched the movie
he held back
Now, THIS is how Vader should deal with Inquisitors that fail him, and none of that stuff with Third Sister.
She was just treated good because she was black and Kennedy probably had more to say in the show than here
@BigLamarGames A youngling who survived him because she's black?
The rumor is that the entire Obi-Wan series existed to set up Reva's own series, which is given more credibility when you consider her insane levels of plot armor. KK used a legacy character to set up a newer, more PC character and no one can say it's such a surprise.
@@h24manu keep crying dumb white. Caucosoid
@@h24manu Whites will cry and moan over a character in a t.v show. keep crying obi wan was trash and revas still alive😂😂
Vader inadvertantly killing Stormtroopers will never get old.
I don't think he cared one bit about the stormtroopers.
@@varric exactly, in the Vader comics he is a savage, in one mission vader literally uses the force to pick up and hold two troopers in front of him to shield himself from blaster fire
@@Matt03981he literally force chokes his own subordinates
@@varricits weird. Some he dies, some he don't. I guess he finds them a lot less qualified soldiers than the clone troopers he fought with before
Just goes to show how powerful ROTJ Luke has to be to defeat this..
He didn’t defeat him even then it was just Vader not trying to hurt him luke does even way way way more potential then after injury Vader though
Force is strong
well to be fair Anakin cared about this son so he was probably NEVER gonna use his full power against Luke no matter what
Vader didn't want to defeat him because he wanted to keep his son alive and make him join him plus he still had a good person behind that mask
@@Kristoff_Smith Yeah, both Vader and the Emperor would have preferred to turn Luke rather than kill him. It's only after threatening to go after Leia that Luke briefly breaks and gives in to the Dark Side that he's able to overpower Vader.
I love how at 1:19 as the barrel thing detaches vader twitched his head, the moment of detection.
I love how that make you feel that Traya was some powerful in this fight only to show you how little she was and how little you are against a real sith.
He ain't just a sith tho is he, he's the big cheese
Trilla
"Vader is slow": Vader literally chasing you across a colapsing building, while you run at full speed, like it is just a summer walk. 💀
I love how he doesn't even have a health bar like every other character.
And people complain about plot armor...
0:50 Hilarius, terrifying and awesome
Yeet
If it’s blocking you from your goal, put it to the side
The landing was intimidating...
0:31
0:21 don’t know why, but that sounds so relaxing
The calm before the storm
Anakins dark deeds
Vadar is iconic - but I never really felt how scary he was… until this part of the game.
The heaviness of his steps when he approaches, the pure power and helplessness he made me feel was amazing.
I felt like the entire game I was just playing with a toy lightsaber.
Stabbing Cal with his own lightsaber is a dick move but it's so good
This whole sequence is done SO well, but the thing that really gets me is at the beginning. Her reaction. Just… imagine it, for a second. Imagine being SO terrified, so utterly scared of something that all you can do when you encounter it is… stand there. Spine ramrod straight, breath coming in short, quick bursts. Heart beating a hundred miles a minute, adrenaline screaming through your veins with nowhere to go. Your brain is alternately yelling, “Fight!” and, “Run!”, but you can do neither - because you know there is no point.
Now imagine being able to INSTILL that sort of fear, not even by your presence but by the sound of your approach alone.
THAT is Darth…
… fucking…
… Vader.
1:30 bro this scene how he move everything 😮
still waiting on a darth vader survival horror game
Imagine that and he’s not the only villain we have to outlast and fear. Imagine other villains in a survival horror game: Nihilus, Maul, the Emperor himself, and more.
Oh and we can’t fight back and don’t have weapons. And the game would be in first person POV
Love how it goes from incredible, beautiful, cutscene to jerky motion as the player tries to remember how to steer in a blind panic.
Such a great detail. I haven’t played the game yet myself.
I'm not even playing the game but seeing him appear at 2:06 made my heart drop 💀
"You have failed me" that is such a Darth Vader thing to say
I can't recall any times he does and yet I feel like he's said it a lot.
Look at the size comparison at 3:43, the dude is a UNIT
Darth Vader is canonically 6'7
Darth Vader is better portrayed here, in the three minutes he appears in this game, than the half hour or so amount of screentime he gets in the Obi-Wan show.
I don't know about that. Cal was a measly padawan when Order 66 happened, while Obi-Wan was a skilled Jedi Master. Cal basically gained what is a limited amount of skill compared to Obi-Wan from start to end of Fallen Order. And Vader has long been known for his obsession of hunting down his old master, and ruthless during any Jedi hunt, just as shown in the show when he killed innocent people in trying to get Obi-Wan to show himself.
@@isaiahgeorge906 Yeah except the show made everyone stupid.
*looks to the village scene, the horror esque chase scene, pulling the ship down with the force, and the duels with Obi Wan and Reva*
Yeah, Vader was actually badass in the Obi Wan show, idk what deathsticks you've been smoking!
Vader was the only good main character in the Obi Wan show
@@h24manu I actually can agree with that, tbh.
He was one of the few things of that show that was not ruined and was not made a joke.
I like how the force and vadar have evolved over time. Initially it was a HUGE DEAL that you could move a single rock, but now this guy is literally ripping a station apart with his mind
Or holding the ocean back😂
Well it happened in the OT itself. Vader threw objects at Luke, and also his own lightsaber
the music that comes in at 0:48 goes unreasonably hard
It would have been cool if all throughout the game Vader was hunting you like nemesis from resident evil.
Dead by daylight: death star map. Luke, Leia, Han and cleavland brown as characters and Vader as the hunter
well thats the inquisitors job and they executed his entrance perfectly. when i played it i never knew he was even it in, let alone being able to (kind of) fight him
what i love most about this is that Vader got the terrifying aurora he deserves instead of it being the classic “i’m still a jedi in training but i managed to beat up Vader somehow”
You know you're fucked when there's a boss without health bar
You win this boss fight by running away like a scared baby.
And it's brilliant.
I just love how vader nonchalantly throws her off the edge. Best villain in my book. 💯
I bet your book has a lot of copyright infringement.
Vader: All too easy
@@Dukesparrow1999 😤💯
@@yoshidinono8095 u better believe it 😂
The soundtrack of Anakin's Dark Deeds during this was absolute perfection. When I first watched that scene in RotS of him cutting down the Separatists on Mustafar with this track playing, and seeing his glowing Sith eyes, being only 6 years old, I was petrified.
And now again with Vader in the suit fully, officially consumed by the darkness, fueled by pure anger and hatred, to where he's become the final boss in a game... Except, what is this? With no health bar? Only means one thing. One objective to win.
Run.
1:10 I find it funny that on paper is sounds like quippy Marvel dialogue, which has no place in a scene like this, and is very overused nowadays, and thanks to the VA's excellent performance, it feels very human and *real*
Good stuff
0:01 my dad when i got my school grades failed:
I love scenes where you get to see what Vader is like to the every day trooper or how his mere presence could paralyze people and this scene is one of those examples
When Darth Vader shows up, you run. I like that. Proper respect for a proper villain.
thats legit crazy just him holding up and bending and crushing several large pieces of metal all at once i did not know he could do stuff like that
The "force" basically gives it's users telecinetic and telepatic powers so yeah
Mf can choke you trough a screen when you are in another star system
@@abobanger9054 without blinking.
WHO THE HELL MAKE US TO GET OUT OF THE HYPERSPACE SO OSE TO HOTH?
I never played the game; I can't tell is Vader using the force to make her stand there, or is she just pissing herself because she knows he's in the room
She's scared as fuck
Yes.
you don't have to play the game to understand how much the galaxy feared him
@@Lickaboss2344 no no no it's OBVIOUS Vader is HOLDING her. You can hear a very specific force grab and hold sound effect, pretty much from the beginning of the clip. There's no reason to assume it's anything else but Vader's use of the force.
@Neonytic You're correct, but she's also scared as fuck. As soon as she heard his first breath (the steps aren't really a giveaway, but the breathing is a dead giveaway), she was immediately filled with fear, and then he force held her right after she realized it was him (which made things even worse for her).
Scott Lawrence nailed the voice in Fallen Order.
0:13 the soundtrack OMG ❤❤❤
Imagine Starkiller facing this version of Darth Vader!!! I would imagine the fight going way differently than what we got on both TFU games.🤯
It would be badass af
Peak Starkiller vs this Vader
It would be amazing
did you forget about the intro mission. We literally did this shit as Vader to the wookies.
@@fracturedframe1462 I'd go to theater to see that. It would more epic than anything we've seen in star wars.🤯
I mean peak starkiller is essentially a living god, he's just as strong as Vader if not more. Galen is so strong that I wish they didn't make him noncanon. Outside of Vader Galen is probably one of my favorite star wars characters
@@Scyclo agreed starkill is an awesome character. I mean they named a super weapon after him. But this Darth Vader is just too bada**.💪😎❤️🖤
THIS is how i want Vader in the games. Terrifying, in a league of his own, and not every other character putting up a fight with him
That's how I want him in general
@@Lickaboss2344 if they remade the original trilogy
Not that they should
But holy fuck how strong would they make him with all the special fx and technology now
@@piggy8761 that would be horrifying
The way he just flicked his wrist to dispose of seeyr is crazy and dope asf
Objective: Survive.
It's funny I watched my husband played this game when this scene happened (the heavy breathing) I literally said to him you're fucked, honey
0:09 After all these years, this still strikes fear into me. Such an outstanding job by the writers fully portraying how evil Darth Vader truly is.
Love how just like a horror movie villain, Vader just appears out of thin air at the elevator.
Am I the only one that busts out laughing every time Vader just flings Ceer to the side with one little hand movement :D it's so funny, terrifying and accurate at the same time :D
Nah I laugh everytime
I cannot state how good Anakin's dark deeds sounds here, props to the guy who picked it for this scene, absolute chills
3:43 What terrifying the most is fighting a big ass giant who only uses 1 hand to beat the shit out of you while his other hand is scratching his balls.
I like how they make vader swing his sword like the original trilogy style
2:50 why the fuck does he run like that???
This is one of the best big baddie reveals in any video game. I had hear Vader was going to be in this game but all the same his entrance sent absolute chills down my spine. I remember thinking "SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT" running away from him, thinking that at any point if you slipped or stopped Vader would get you and Cal would be dead.
I love that they didn't fall back on using the Imperial March for Vader's entrance. The ominous choir and bassy synths give the whole thing a really menacing air.
This scene was the perfect way to end the game, i was completely taken by surprise when he showed up his first breath spooked me! Then I felt the urge to run as the music intensified And Everything was falling apart around me I felt his rage chasing right behind me
The big hunk of metal strikes back
I love how the objective is basically
Survive
Whoever played Trilla did a fantastic job! This scene was fantastic. Currently going to replay this ready for Survivor. Love Star wars so much
"A lot of people are recognized for their deeds, quotes, and actions. What makes you recognizable from the rest?"
Darth Vader: *Silently just breathing*
That "oh ****** " moment when I realized he DID NOT HAVE A HEALTH BAR is what sealed this as one of my absolute favorite starwars games. I legitimately had fear irl as I was running from him.
A Star Wars horror/slasher film with vader would be rad
She knew Vader killed those children at the temple, but I’ve always wondered if she knew who was under the mask, did she know that Vader was once Anakin, Jedi General, hero of the Republic, and the great hope of the Jedi order?
She has no idea
Almost no One knew Vader was Anakin
Majority of the galaxy had no idea who Vader was, hell he was basically a masked boogeyman who's origins was unclear especially to those who served him. Only Sidious, and eventually Luke and Obi Wan would know him
The fact Vader kept popping out of everywhere sent chills to my spine
3:50 4:05 I bet that Vader was smiling when he said that
I had a mini heart attack when I heard the boots and the respirator. Anyone else?
Not kidding, top5 scenes of gaming for me. The atmosphere and look of unfettered fear, the building score, the chase. Just chefs kiss. I've never seen vaders presence done so well
You know the game did a good job with a Vader fight when even the game forces you to just run! 🤣
I loved the who are you flick of the hand (oh no I guess I'm of to take a lava bath). The fact that the Inquisitor already accepted she was dead and didn't even try to beg just tells you everything about how Vader was.
Darth Vader really be like I do not care that you are the protagonist
When even the protagonist agrees he should surrender, makes Vader even MORE terrifying here
My favorite line is “Submit!”
0:43 when your mom comes home and the chicken isn’t thawed 😂
😂
Funny how Vader held his breath, walked into the room with a few steps and then exhaled.
