  Okay, so I know it may seem like an unnecessary or superficial question, but I’ve always wondered if Vader did become stronger than Palpatine or not. In EP 3, Palpatine tells Yoda that Anakin will become more powerful than either of them which tells me he wasn’t more powerful than them yet, but probably would be. What are your thoughts?

  I don’t think Palpatine ever let Vader get as strong as he was. I think Vader’s abilities were severely stunted after he lost to Obi-Wan on Mustafar, which played right into Sidious’ hand.

  I believe Sidious claim was correct at the time he said it but after Mustafar it was very incorrect. The Vader suit is designed by Palpatine to be weak against force lighting so there is no physical way he could be more powerful if Palpatine’s strongest ability weakens Vader.
