he is as strong as he needs to be for a compelling story. not sure who said something like that (maybe stan lee?). i dont know a single person who watched the original trilogy and did not see vader as a terrifying force.
yes, he did not show as much raw power as in some later media. but he left such an impression, that he still is one of the favourite antagonists now. in videogames, usually the player is served a power fantasy. so the antagonists also needs to up his power by a significant amount. otherwise he woud just be another goon.
I don’t disagree, and I was terrified of him as a child (but also loved him at the same time). But seeing modern media with him in it and then going back to his debut is a bit jarring. He’s still a badass but not quite as ridiculously overpowered as in other media.
