Can I sample that breathing sound for a track?
I will not be intimidated into giving out free tacos.
This griddle ain’t big enough for the two of us.
If you need a driver while you’re planetside, let me know.
Your dark energy is not welcome here.
Whatever you're doing is NOT FOR ME.
Maybe I SHOULD embrace the dark side.
I know nothing, I saw nothing, I make little fishing lures. SPARE ME!
Sounds like you gotta up that cardio, dude.
I sense a robo-darkness within you…
Are your shuttles for hire? I have the Bars!
Whatever you’re planning, I won’t be getting your way.

Trivia[]
- Darth Vader's Boss Outfit ID is CID_NPC_Athena_Commando_M_Realm and his codename is Realm.
- Darth Vader uses the Lambda-Class Shuttle Glider when forced into Glider Redeploy. This makes him the first Boss to use a unique Glider that is not the Default Glider in normal playlists.

- Darth Vader is the first Boss to have a unique defeat animation, as he will kneel on the ground before breaking away.
- Darth Vader is also the first Boss to use the Vindertech Drones upon defeat.
- The reason behind this is likely due to Darth Vader not being allowed to die before Star Wars Episode VI: Return of The Jedi.
- The animation is similar to how Darth Vader kneels when defeated in the DICE Star Wars Battlefront Games.
- Darth Vader has the most re-appearances out of all the previous Bosses, beating out The Foundation and Doctor Slone whom he was tied with before Chapter 5: Season 2.
- Out of all the other Bosses, Darth Vader has the least amount of voice lines. Beating out Iron Man with only one line.
- If a player were to be eliminated by Darth Vader during Chapter 3: Season 3. The item picture displayed will be different from the Darth Vader's Lightsaber Mythic.

Strategy[]
- Darth Vader isn't very fast, so evading his Lightsaber swings isn't too hard. However you need to be mindful of the force abilities he could use to compensate.
- When Darth Vader is doing something that isn't walking towards you, he won't block incoming fire. This is an opportunity for you to dish out damage. Just be careful of what he does during it.
- Imperial Docking Bay Radar is located next to Seven Outpost VII, making it very easy to lure Darth Vader to fight The Foundation.
