One day Palpatine was like, "New guy just dropped: Vader. You don't get to read his CV but he's allowed to kill anyone he wants. He's guy #2 in a religion that's just us. He gets to order the navy around."

It's like if the Archbishop of Canterbury had diplomatic immunity and an aircraft carrier.

Grand Inquisitor: Why are we going after one singular old-ass Jedi when we could be wiping out an entire branch of Rebel intelligence?

Darth Vader: I am the manager of this flying Hot Topic and you will do as I fucking ask, do you understand???

Darth Vader isn't just in a cybernetic body horror story, he's living out his years as a cursed mecha pilot. Endlessly separating from and enmeshing with the gears and pistons of his new limbs, making them his own again and again. The metal that surrounds him, protecting him from the very air of the outside world, and allowing him to stride into it and wreak his master's will upon it. The straining servos that unite with his own terrible will, a mind imprisoned within his dismembered flesh and roiling with the selfish, hungry shadow of the love that unites all children of the stars, to bring crashing down his crackling, crimson blade with hideous strength. The boy born into bondage who once designed and built his own wings from scrap to let him fly, not just fast, but faster than anyone else, trapped in another slavery by the chains of his wounds, his new wings drafted to another's specifications and forged by strange hands in dark laboratories, not just strong, but irresistible. Not just armor, but a vehicle. A war machine and a pilot, together, a single hateful fist of iron and agony.

So yeah, body horror mecha anime. Terrible guy, tragic story. Very romantic.
