Why didn't Count Dooku have yellow eyes?

Yeah he was always meant to be part of the three apprentices that mirrored vader in some way his was the hero that faltered, the fallen jedi. While maul was hatred and fear and slavery, born and bred to serve. And grevious was more machine/droid than alive

Greatest take on the relation between Darth Vader and the prequel Sith + Grievous

I've always seen it as Palps putting his various theories on making the perfect cronie to the test.

[u/argle__bargle → u/Bismothe-the-Shade]

Doesn't this theory require Palpatine to assume that, as part of his master plan, Darth Vader will be horribly injured and require robotic life support?

[u/Hellknightx → u/argle__bargle]

I doubt it was planned out, but Palpatine did apparently choose painful and crude implants for Vader as a way to inhibit him intentionally.

[u/RisKQuay → u/Hellknightx]

Was pain limiting though? Pain is meant to help one focus the dark side, isn't it?

[u/jaysmack737 → u/RisKQuay]

Its not the pain that is limiting. Palps basically used off brand, and mixed brands for the suit, so it just sucked. Palos also later offered a brand new upgraded version, but Vader Turned it down

[u/RevolutionaryGur5932 → u/jaysmack737]

Was there a lore reason that Anakin didn't go to town with his engineering prowess on an improved suit?

[u/jukebox_jester → u/RevolutionaryGur5932]

I could see it as it being less practical.

It's hard to hide upgrades from your boss like that and that bodes ill

Additionally, he would have to put his arms back on with just the force which he seems to use with less finesse as Vader.

Finally, there's still the breathing apparatus where you'd either need to be really quick about it, or let a third party replace that for you which would be more or less suicide even if he kept it in house.
