Anyway.

Didn't Vader break the rule of two before TFU was declared non-canon?

Yes, but Sidious also broke it by taking Maul as an apprentice as Plageuis was alive through the events of Phantom Menace

Heads up, the first issue of Marvel's Anakin and Obi-Wan series released yesterday I believe. Also, this coming Wednesday, the penultimate issue of the Vader Down arc, Star Wars #14, releases.

IRL movie limitations aside, why did Vader get such shit arms and legs, and a ridiculously restricting and cumbersome helmet and life support?

His mechanical limbs aren't bad, and his suit isn't all that cumbersome.

After the prequels came out, there was some stupid explanation that Vader was permanently in pain and the suit was designed to be shitty. Personally I always thought that was rather dumb, it was part of a phase immediately post RotS where they tried telling us everything in the OT was shit compared to the PT, thinking if they said it enough we'd believe it. "Oh, the Imperial Class destroyers are shit compared to the Venators" "Vader's suit is really itchy and prevents him from seeing well" and so forth.

In the current canon his suit keeps him from being in pain, and Vader comes to justify his imprisonment in the suit; appreciating how it isolates him from others. This makes sense from both a practical and character perspective, at least in my eyes.

Technology when he burned wasn't as advanced as Luke's time I guess. Notice how he got a robotic hand and Luke got one that looked normal.

I'm definitely in agreement. All of it comes across as trying way too hard to make Vader a tortured soul.

His suit is still pretty evidently shit.

Cumbersome.
Vital parts are easily damaged.
Loud.
Heavy.
Crappy prosthetic limbs.

I was bored and watched the last few scenes a bit on YouTube, with Obi-Wan crying to Anakin, Vader suit, and all that.

You know, for as much as the prequels to Star Wars got shat on (and rightfully so in a lot of cases), the very ending shot with Luke being held by his Aunt and Uncle on Tatooine with the sun setting, was one of the best shots (moments?) in the entire series if you ask me. It ended exactly how episode 4 began. With Luke standing, in those same robes, watching the sunset, with the same music playing. It's very poetic that 20 years later it came full circle.

Almost like the ending to Reach and how it literally went into Halo 1. The fact Bungie's farwell was ending it exactly how they started, was in my eyes, very beautiful. The music playing when you see the Pillar of Autumn take off is so powerful because you're literally seeing Halo 1 take off. Story and characters aside, I thought that was really cool.

Y'know, the bit before the final fight in Episode 3, when Anakin is like 'Because of Obi Wan' and he just looks up and sees him, is pretty good. He's like 'fucking knew it'

But then ruins it by going 'LIAR! UR WITH HIM'
