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

2018-01-09 00:51:01 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 00:51:01 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 00:51:05 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 00:51:39 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 00:52:09 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 00:52:22 UTC  

Not that I'm aware of

2018-01-09 00:52:35 UTC  

Are we talking cosmetically or functionally?

2018-01-09 00:52:40 UTC  

muh palpatine 😃

2018-01-09 00:53:18 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 00:53:20 UTC  

Yes

2018-01-09 00:53:31 UTC  

Both, it's rather hilarious

2018-01-09 00:54:24 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 00:54:47 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 00:54:50 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 00:55:43 UTC  

Here we are

2018-01-09 00:55:53 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 00:57:58 UTC  

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.

2018-01-09 00:58:52 UTC  

And limit his movements too

2018-01-09 00:58:53 UTC  

Well, it was also designed to keep him alive

2018-01-09 00:58:59 UTC  

It had life support systems

2018-01-09 00:59:01 UTC  

Sort of

2018-01-09 00:59:03 UTC  

The shoulder plates alone weighed something like 12 kgs

2018-01-09 00:59:03 UTC  

it was minimal though

2018-01-09 00:59:19 UTC  

The video covers basically all that

2018-01-09 00:59:23 UTC  

It's great

2018-01-09 00:59:56 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 01:00:02 UTC  

Basically.

2018-01-09 01:00:08 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 01:00:12 UTC  

Yup.

2018-01-09 01:00:18 UTC  

And nope

2018-01-09 01:00:20 UTC  

He also couldn't use lightning due his cybernetic limbs

2018-01-09 01:00:35 UTC  

Direct orders from the emperor to help hinder Vader.

2018-01-09 01:00:53 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 01:01:26 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 01:01:32 UTC  

Sheev

2018-01-09 01:01:33 UTC  

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

2018-01-09 01:01:36 UTC  

His first name is Sheev

2018-01-09 01:07:29 UTC  

hi
