| Feb 5, 2016 at 20:21 | comment | added | Kyle Strand | @aroth Good point! Come to think of it, that is why he survived A New Hope. | |
| Feb 4, 2016 at 23:05 | comment | added | Jason | Palpatine didn't have very much concern for keeping his apprentices alive, nor any shortage of new recruits, as seen in the prequels. Granted, Vader had been with him a long time and would have been too strong to replace directly, but the Emperor was a crafty one and, by the end, is actively trying to replace Vader with Luke. I believe he intentionally wanted to off his apprentices before they became strong enough (or willful enough, Vader was undoubtedly strong enough) to off him instead. No doubt killing Vader would have been only a minor blow to the Empire in the grand scheme of things. | |
| Feb 3, 2016 at 0:04 | comment | added | aroth | "entering the Death Star battle wasn’t a huge risk" - In fact, by the time he entered the battle the Imperials had figured out that the Rebels were trying to destroy the Death Star, and that their approach might work. So getting out into the battle could have been the safe option. Obviously you have a much better chance of surviving the destruction of the Death Start if you're not on it at the time. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 22:26 | comment | added | TylerH | @Brandon I'm not sure there was a whole battalion there... Judging from what we see in the movie, maybe a couple squads were on board. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 22:24 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | @Brandon: well, not if it was a trap for Vader. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 22:05 | comment | added | Brandon |
I'll also add that in the opening to A New Hope, Vader boarded the Tantive IV after a battalion of storm troopers went in first and secured the ship. If there was a trap, it would likely be sprung long before Vader set foot in there.

| Feb 2, 2016 at 16:18 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | @Jamil: gotcha. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 15:54 | comment | added | The Unknown Dev | No, more of "this is our only opportunity to save the galaxy" sort of schpeal. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 15:52 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | @Jamil: okay. Did the plan to capture or kill him precede him being alone on the Rebel planet? | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 15:30 | comment | added | The Unknown Dev | For point 2, in the recent story line "Vader Down," a crossover between Marvel's current Star Wars comics, Leia literally orders a squadron of X-wings to kill Vader and herself when she is proximity to the Dark Lord on Vrogas Vas. The entire plot of the story revolved around Vader being alone on a rebel controlled planet and trying to capture or kill him. | |

| Feb 2, 2016 at 14:47 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | @WGroleau: well, Darth Vader met his end there. Anakin Skywalker may have been briefly re-born, and then re-appeared as a Force Ghost. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 14:29 | comment | added | WGroleau | Spoiler (?) Met his end there? The other film had him apparently dying and then appearing as a ghost with Obi-Wan. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 14:19 | comment | added | David says Reinstate Monica | Also, he's a powerful force user. He would probably sense the trap if there was one. | |
