Everyone's out to kill Darth Vader!
Hey guys! 21 here to blog about the many fascinating topics of the Star Wars Universe!

Darth Vader. Scourge of the Jedi. Bringer of death and destruction to the light side of the force. Palpatine's puppet. Dooku's successor. All around, baddest guy in the galaxy from 19 B.B.Y to 6 A.B.Y.

Who wouldn't want to kill him?

Apparently no one. Even Palpatine, his Sith master is currently hiring former enemy Ferus Olin to kill his most "beloved" apprentice. Wait! Palpatine wants to kill Vader, you say, 21? Yes, unfortunetely he does along with the whole galaxy!

Darth Vader is the most hated machine in the universe. Everyone wants to kill him, by why haven't they? Is Vader too powerful? In his suit and his limited Force abilities, no. Do they not have the guts? No, I don't think so.Are others in their path to killing the Sith Lord? Yes, but that's not the reason he's not dead yet.

They can't because without Vader there would be a great period of instability in the galaxy.

If someone killed Darth Vader, the Emperor and many of his special agents would hunt the galaxy to find someone who matched Vader's power even a little. You have to remember that Vader is the only being in the galaxy who was formed by midichorians. That obviously means that the Force swells through him like no Jedi before. even as a Sith, those midichlorians are still in him. But they're trapped by Vader's suit. My point is, the Emperor knows that if he kills Vader, he'd have to fidn someone more powerful. Otherwise, he is vulnerable and isn't as invincible as he was when Vader was under his tutelage. The galaxy would be torn apart by Palpatine's Empire in an attempt to find this rare being.

So in a way, Vader's being spared. Anyone who intends to kill Vader knows this. But they won't go through with it because they can't not because they won't.

Yeah.....I think the real reason Vader isn't dead is.....there's no one left in the Galaxy strong enough to take him out. Despite what the EU has said, Jedi and Sith don't just get taken out by Bounty Hunters or other assassins, no matter how fancy their armor is. The Jedi (the main threats to him) were all but extinct, and Palpatine would never want to kill Vader...himself, at least. That's not the Sith way; Vader was extremely useful to Palpatine as an enforcement tool, and he would not want to dispose of him. The only way he wanted Vader to die was at the hands of a more powerful apprentice, who would then take his rightful place under him.....

Just my thoughts....;)

Luke didn't want to kill him. Just as well really, otherwise we'd have no story.

Personally, I want to kill Curious George. That monkey is just damn annoying.

I don't want to kill him. Compared to some others, Vader's a princess.
