See, that's another thing of the old EU...

@SmallPrice I don't think so, because it's well established in the original trilogy that Palpatine is "Not a Good Person ©"

It didn't make Palpatine completely evil like disney's EU...

Nessessary evil, now its well... Just evil.

Ergo, anything Palpatine would have done would be "the wrong thing to do"

Has anyone seen the YouTube video where these two guys go over how horrible the quality of Vader's suit was

Not that I'm aware of

Are we talking cosmetically or functionally?

muh palpatine 😃

and... i HOPE they wont introduce Thrawn and warp him beyond recognition like they did with luke

Yes

Both, it's rather hilarious

Also, apparently in the now defunct cannon, the place they sent him for reconstructive surgery was "emporer palpatine's center for reconstructive surgeries "

Apparently that was high on his list of first things to rename as emporer

Well, at least it's hard to confuse it with other medical centers

Here we are

Hang on, I only got back from work about half an hour ago and I'm still catching up on news and stuff

Well canonically the suit was actually created to cause Vader immense pain, compared to other forms of medical augmentations. Basically, his suffering kept fueling his powers and attempted to push him deeper toward the darkside.

And limit his movements too

Well, it was also designed to keep him alive

It had life support systems

Sort of

The shoulder plates alone weighed something like 12 kgs

it was minimal though

The video covers basically all that

It's great

So vader was so powerful that they designed the suit specifically to limit them?

Basically.

Like apparently the helmet was made of shotty quality materials due to budget cuts imposed by the emporer so the bots made it shinny to hope they didn't notice

Yup.

And nope

He also couldn't use lightning due his cybernetic limbs

Direct orders from the emperor to help hinder Vader.

There's a reason why he asked Luke to take the helmet off...

Basically Palps didn't want him being too strong because, you know, Palps had trust issues.

Sheev

_The visual suite in it was so shoddy he couldn't see anything but lines. no color, nothing._

His first name is Sheev
