I was all prepared to laugh at this entire scene, Chanath Cha gives her big dramatic speech about how Vader took everything from her and she’s spent her life planning revenge, only for him to say, “I still don’t know who the fuck you are.”, because that could have been hilarious. But then it wasn’t just a dismissal. It was, “You spent your life on a crusade of which I was unaware, that did not affect me at all. All of that time... you stopped nothing for me. While I prevented you from doing everything.” However this scenario turns out, if Chanath finds satisfaction in her path or not, we do know that she can’t kill Vader here, and we know that her entire life was poured into someone who didn’t even notice. The irony of it struck me so hard that it’s Sith Lord Darth Vader saying, “Revenge doesn’t get you anywhere good.” The irony of Vader pointing out that revenge just drags you further into the dark, that it only put Chanath in a prison while he was out there doing whatever he wanted, not even noticing. This is why the Jedi don’t take revenge, why it’s not the Jedi way. Chanath could have healed from this, could have still done something with her life. Instead, Vader was her life, that’s all her life was, and he didn’t even notice.
