[QUOTE=TPWombat] Vader could use his [knowledge of road-crossing safety](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Qnan37HiU) . He-Man : “Any last words???” Vader : "yes… **TRUCK!**" [/QUOTE] Would He-Man, like David Prowse, know the difference between American and British directions of travel? Could make all the difference! ---

[QUOTE=Fireclown] I too give the edge to Darth Vader, but I don’t think He Man has been given proper credit. He is the most powerful man in the universe…oh yeah and he can circle his sword in the air and make tornadoes and stuff. [/QUOTE] Vader can do the same with an act of will. ---

[QUOTE=Guinastasia] ETA: Consider too the fact that Vader was the ONLY one able to destroy Sideous in the end. Even friggin _Yoda_ wasn’t able to do it.) [/QUOTE] Yeah, but that was largely because Sideous finally got really old and absentminded. He was so focused on zapping his force bolts of awesomeness that he completely forgot to notice that he was being picked up and chucked down a pit. I mean, come on, really? He fends of Yoda’s mad lightsaber skillz in his youth, and then dies because someone carries him to a hole. I bet Lucas had lots of nights wondering why he didn’t make that death more epic. ---
