Talk:Anakin Skywalker vs Luke Skywalker/@comment-36838597-20181126151957/@comment-25760276-20181215230201

Not only is Darth Vader 20 years older and three limbs lighter, but he's also completely reinvented his fighting style to adapt to a suit that stands several inches taller and weighs several more pounds. Anakin was adapted to the Form V form of lightsaber combat, centered around overpowering other dueling combatants, which was mixed with a more agile style, while Vader's Form V was much more of a stone wall, and had Form II adapted into it.

Furthermore. Darth Vader and Anakin are nearly different people personality-wise. While Anakin, before Sidious named him Darth Vader after the death of Mace Windu, was very energetic and arrogant, Vader learned of his weaknesses following his failure on Mustafar and evolved far more in maturity—to the point where Darth Vader completely disassociates himself from Anakin and talks about the Jedi Knight in the third person.

Darth Vader's fight with Luke on both Bespin and on the Death Star II were completely hindered by attachment, something that Death Battle's own rules get rid of. On Bespin, Darth Vader's main goals were to freeze Luke and deliver him to the Emperor, and eventually settled on wanting to team up with Luke to rule the Galaxy. In Episode VI, on Death Star II, Luke had already worn down Vader with his persuasion and love, and so Vader was not even close to fighting at his full capacity. Furthermore, Vader had information on Luke that enraged his son, which a younger Anakin would have no access to.

Darth Vader and Anakin are... completely different people. It's actually quite the popular topic to discuss how Anakin may have developed a multiple-personality disorder due to how much he has abandoned his Jedi self. Completely devaluing the fight by not looking into the specifics is honestly a tad ignorant, there are way too many factors that go into this not just being an Episode V/VI rematch.
