Darth Vader is fearsome . Darth Vader is tragic . But also ? Darth Vader is the sassiest Sith lord around . From the Star Wars movies to the current comic , Vader is capable of pull out fantastic contumely and counter , as easily as his lightsaber . Here are some of the our favored put - Down from the Dark Lord himself .
“Do any others wish to be my partner?”
When : Darth Vader Annual # 1
To Who : A crowd of gala attendees
This delightful comeback comes from Vader ’s visit to the mining major planet of Shu - Torun , a world with a very exacting , courtly culture . One of the world ’s Baron ’s , Rubix , demands that as a guest of Shu - Torun ’s royal phratry Vader must dance with his girl — and is stunned enough to keep insist . That is , until Vader flings him into the atmosphere with the Force , drops him , and then turns to the stunned royal court to deliver the above retort .

surprisingly , four months later in this week ’s Darth Vader # 19 , Vader offers a follow - up burn to Rubix , now the ( kill ) mind of a insurrection against the Empire on Shu - Torun :
Vader never forgets the luck to combust someone .
“He is as clumsy as he is stupid.”
When : The Empire Strikes Back
To Who : General Veers , in reference to Admiral Ozzel
Sometimes a practiced burning does n’t have to be all that imaginative . Or all that subtle . But the velocity and simplicity with which Vader smash Ozzel for coming out of lightspeed too presently above Hoth is hilarious . The best part ? He ’s not even doing it to Ozzel ’s fount . He ’s actively insulting the piece to another police officer before he promptly turns around and chokes Ozzel to death for being an idiot .
“I am a lord of the Sith. They are the ones who should be running.”
When : Vader Down # 1
To Who : Doctor Aphra , in reference to incoming Rebel pilots
The Vader Down miniseries ’ opening move issue was a fantastic admonisher of justwhat a dread and powerfulforce of nature Darth Vader could be — and how imposingly quippy he could be while doing so . While on the hunt for Luke Skywalker , Vader accidentally bumps into a wing of X - Wing fighters feed a preparation detail , prompting his associate Doctor Aphra to distinguish him to get the hell out of stratagem .
Vader turn down , and leave a giant floating mess of fight X - Wing pieces in his backwash .
“I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.”
When : Empire Strikes Back
To Who : Lando Calrissian
This is both a nifty insult and a hilarious exercise of Vader ’s “ screw you , I do what I desire ” position . Not only has he barge his way of life onto Cloud City , forced Lando to set up a ambush for his old booster Han ( lest Cloud City fall under purple control ) , and then tack the handwriting entirely by freeze Han in Carbonite , but when Lando tries to bust back , he just gets put down in a single line . Damn .
“I have only killed two. Do not make me reconsider my generosity.”
When : Darth Vader # 1
To Who : Jabba the Hutt
Marvel ’s fantabulous Darth Vader comic ( by Kieron Gillen , Salvador Larocca , and Edgar Delgado ) opens just after A New Hope , and with an angry Vader put in his place by the Emperor , who ’s woefully unimpressed that his Modern Battlestation is in itty - bitty spell . twist out that when he ’s angry , Darth Vader gets quippy .
Tracking down clue as to who was creditworthy for the Death Star ’s end , Vader heads to Tatooine , and crosses track with Jabba the Hutt seeking entropy . This is his opening statement in their negotiations , pretty much , after he cut back down two of Jabba ’s guards .
“I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.”
When : return key of the Jedi
To Who : Moff Jerjerrod
So here ’s how this goes — Vader turns up unannounced to the Death Star II , a pants - wetting enough situation for anyone . He then rag Moff Jerjerrod for falling behind on twist . Also moderately scary ! Then he sum up insult to injury by casually dropping the news that the Emperor himself is on his way , and he is pissed . When Jerjerrod manages to squeak out that his men will redouble their efforts , Vader then delivers this gutpunch .
“This is a small reminder of what happens to worlds who resist the Emperor.”
To Who : Queen Trios of Shu - Torun
The royal family of Shu - Torun seek to trap Vader and belt down him during his visit to the major planet . Darth Vader being Darth Vader , this terminate poorly for the royal household , with all of them dead save the young daughter , Trios , who Vader makes into the new Queen ( and a puppet of the Empire ) mere bit after her entire syndicate is slaughtered . As he prepares to exit the satellite , he allege the above , dropping a box with a small-scale clod of careen in it at trio ’ feet .
She makes the mistake of need what the rock is .
Oh dear .
“Your master has deceived you, into believing you can become a Jedi.”
When : Star Wars Rebels , “ Siege of Lothal ”
To Who : Ezra Bridger
Okay , so while the above line is great , it ’s not really much of a sunburn on its own . What crap it amazing is that while Vader is saying it to Ezra , he ’s nonchalantly bang the hapless nestling into the pegleg of an Imperial Zimmer , and then using the effect to get Ezra to slit his own throat with his own lightsaber . Christ , Vader , kick him while he ’s down why do n’t you ?
“You wish me to prove myself Master. Give me a fight worthy of my time.”
When : Darth Vader # 16
To Who : The Emperor
I late called this momentthe ballsiest thing Darth Vader has ever done , and I remain firm by it — but it ’s also a wonderful sunburn . Darth Vader murders one of the Emperor ’s agent being train to replace him during the event of Vader Down . Instead of keeping this a closed book , Vader promptly returns to Coruscant and dump said agentive role ’s consistence onto the floor of Palpatine ’s business office .
https://gizmodo.com/in-three-pages-this-weeks-darth-vader-comic-shows-us-t-1758331243
At this spot , Vader could easily have laid the blame at someone else ’s feet , and just say he ’d recovered the body . Instead , he owns the fact that he belt down this dude . Let ’s remember that he ’s saying this to the most powerful Isle of Man in the extragalactic nebula . Wow .
“Then you will die braver than most.”
When : Star Wars Rebels , “ crepuscle of the Apprentice ”
Ezra may have gotten stronger in his abilities since he last fought Vader in “ Siege of Lothal ” , but Vader ’s burn game is still strong than ever . This is what he tell to Ezra when the young force exploiter defiantly stands before Vader on Malachor and says that he ’s “ not afraid ” to press him .
grownup , kid , does n’t matter . Vader will straight up burn you and then defeat you .
“All I am surrounded by is fear. And dead men.”
To Who : A whole garrison of Rebel soldier
I ’ve already mentioned that Vader Down crosswalk featureda truly terrifying Vader — and while his insults to the pilot was pretty capital , this concluding mo from the end of the first proceeds is fantastic . Vader is encircle by a whole garrison of Rebel troopers , after he ’s effortlessly carved a path through spaceship and men on his hunt for Luke Skywalker . They consider they have strength in numbers , and a commander squall out to the lone Sith lord that he ’s surrounded .

With a snap - hiss of his lightsaber igniting — the first meter he ’s even felt the motive to do so in the issue — Vader delivers this retort , ready to fight .
“I find your lack of faith disturbing.”
When : A New Hope
To Who : Admiral Motti
Ah , this erstwhile chestnut tree . It ’s a classical sunburn , and for adept reason — it ’s the first time we get to really see Vader ’s mastery of the force in action . Admiral Motti , full of gaudery and swagger , mocks Vader ’s mysticism … and , well , you know the rest do n’t you ?
“I have killed very many fathers. You’ll have to be more specific.”
When : Star Wars # 2 ( 2015 )
To Who : Luke Skywalker
One of the bragging “ holy shit ” moments of Marvel ’s Star Wars ongoing was the sexual climax of the very first issue , in which not only does Vader show up , but duels Luke Skywalker for the first time . Luke , full of anger and untrained , lashes out at Vader — who does not bring in who Luke is yet — by secernate him that he wipe out his don . Vader ’s response is as dismissive as it is altogether crushing .
Also , kinda counts as a self - burn , consider his also unintentionally diss himself in the process .
