Anakin Skywalker lost most of his body parts and his body was burned pretty badly, and he lost his force potential because of that once he became the Darth Vader.
"At this point, Vader’s plan really, now that he knows he’s his son, is to convince him to come with him. Join the dark side and together they’re going to overthrow the Emperor, which is the thematic devices used through the whole movies in terms of the Sith, which is Sith Lords are usually no more than two because if there are three, then two of them will gang up on one to try to become the dominate Sith. Anakin would have been able to do it if he hadn’t been debilitated and now he’s half machine and half man, so he’s lost a lot of the power of the Force, and he’s lost a lot of his ability to be more powerful then the Emperor. But Luke hasn’t. Luke is Vader’s hope. His motives at this point are purely evil. He simply wants to continue on what he was doing before which is get rid of the Emperor and make himself Emperor. He only sees his son as a mechanism for the ambition. His mad lust of power." --George Lucas, TESB DVD Commentary.
"And when he finds out Luke is his son, his first impulse is to figure out a way of getting him to join him to kill the Emperor. That's what Siths do! He tries it with anybody he thinks might be more powerful, which is what the Emperor was looking for in the first place: somebody who would be more powerful than he was and could help him rule the universe. But Obi-Wan screwed that up by cutting off his arms and legs and burning him up. From then on, he wasn't as strong as the Emperor -- he was like Darth Maul or Count Dooku. He wasn't what he was supposed to become. But the son could become that." --George Lucas, Rolling Stones Interview, 2005.

Darth Vader didn't do anything impressive in the Original Trilogy.
He beat a young man with no training, and then he lost to that young man one year later/
Darth Vader couldn't destroy the Emperor himself.
Darth Vader was not a powerhouse.
Ryan Powell
George pointed out repeatedly about the evil of the machine and it being antithesis to anything natural and force related.
Anakin Skywalker was a weakened cripple, more machine than man, twisted and evil.
Of course Anakin is a weakling.
All Anakin has is crude power, physical power given to him by the machine, raw strength.
But Anakin Skywalker isn't as strong in the Force anymore, he lost that potential.

>Darth Vader didn't do anything impressive in the OT
- blocking blaster shots with his hand
- tearing equipment off wall and tossing them around without even looking at them
- killed people just looking at them
Yoda lifted a X-wing.
Obi-Wan could disappear out of his clothes and talk beyond his grave.

Stormtrooper armor.
My understanding is that gives the trooper all sorts of benefits like air filtration, climate control, communications, etc.
Okay sounds good.
But, in terms of actual protection this "armor" may as well not exist.
Just a single small blaster shot will kill the Stormtrooper.
If the armor is so weak what’s the point of making Stormtroopers wear stiff plates?

The Clone Wars:
George Lucas based the political situation of the Prequel Trilogy on the events that precipitated the fall of the Roman Republic.
The effect of the Separatist movement on the Republic in Star Wars is supposed to be analogous to the effect that events like the Social War in 91BC or the political rivalry of Marius and Sulla had on the Roman Republic in the years leading up to it's collapse.
What the Clone Wars were about specifically matters far less than what the conflict represents.
In both cases it reveals a system that has stagnated to the point of conflict and bloodshed for seemingly no reason.

The weak should fear the strong.

Manipulated/orchestrated conflict by Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious with the "Confederate powers" comprising of certain powers (Trade Federation alligned systems, Banking Clan, Techno Union) and various other systems who were unhappy with the state of the Republic vs the Republic itself.
Palpatine took advantage of Republic corruption and desire for power or a different system of rule by these confederate powers and orchestrated the war in order to ultimately use the crisis to become dictator of the new Empire and wipe out his only real enemy: the Jedi Order.
I think Lord Sidious orchestrating a crisis with a genuine external threat would have made things easier to convey to the audience.
Would've made more impact too on an emotional level.
Huge armies of mostly droids vs clones is a bit dull.
There were other forces too, sure, but the destruction of the Clone Wars should've been showcased more.
The general plot of Darth Sidious to manufacture crises and wars to make himself Emperor was great.

Count Dooku is fostering discontent in the Republic and many systems want out of the Republic and want to form a Confederacy.
During this Dooku is also working with corrupt corporations to also leave Republic red tape.
The plan was build military force via the Droid Army and secede at gun point as the Republic has no military.
Then the Republic suddenly pulled a military out; unknown that the Sith were responsible for that army creation.
In any case both sides are being manipulated by Darth Sidious: Republic loyalists ensure fully loyal subjects of the Empire, removing planets that would have rebelled, and excuses for nationalizing these various corporations, and last putting the Jedi in a bad spot that would lead to their downfall.

But in the movie it happens because senator palpatine is le bad.

The goal was to force the Galactic Republic to give Emergency Power to it's Chancellor aka Sheev Palpatine, who was the Sith Lord at the time.
The way to do this is to focus a Seperatist Movement aka the Trade Federation and other corporations that were being treated unfairly in trade.
Basically the American Civil War & World War II.
Now the Republic didn't have a standing Grand Army, so when the Seperatists started to ramp up attacks as they left the Republic.
The Republic had no choice but to look for additional hands to keep the Republic and it's world in tact.
Wouldn't you know it years earlier the Sith made the Clone Army that he was ready to give to the Republic to fight the Seperatists and their Droid Army.
