Darth Vader runs the LotR gauntlet

[The Dork Knight]

Did Darth Vader murder your parents in front of you in Crime Alley on the way home from seeing the Mark of Zorro such that you spent the rest of your life wandering the Earth and training yourself to get revenge on him and/or all criminals?

Well criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot. They can rarely claim to have the high ground

And Darth Vader knows what happens when someone has the high ground.

The high ground gave Obi-Wan +2 Crit Chance, for example.

Somewhat more seriously, it depends on what Vader's current canon feats entail as far as going beyond the movies I would suppose, as otherwise his chances against a lot of the things on this list are low, let alone Ancalagon.

Here are some of the extended StarWars stories, I'm not sure what is in continuity or canon, I assume J J Abrams ignore most of this

Anything EU related made prior to April 2014 is non canon, I know for a fact that the Starkiller stuff is non canon now(thank God), and since the comic stuff references rakghoul I'm pretty sure it isn't either

I'm not sure what Vader is supposed to do against a damn Balrog.

[Siriel]

Technically the company policy is "Anything we don't reference made before X is non-canon.", not "Everything before X is non-canon.".

I mean I can see Sauron pretty much screwing with Vader's head like he tried to do to Finrod.

I can't think of anything made before the deadline that didn't have the Legends label slapped on it outside the Clone Wars series, even the stuff they pick and choose to put in the new canon like Thrawn get their legends history wiped and rewritten

.. dude, if you can't tell that my posts in this thread are made in jest, I have no idea what to tell you ;p

Lol and I thought you hated everyone!

Make puns, he secretly enjoys them

The Balrog was never as big as it was in the movies, and Vader should be able to wreck any movie or book Maiar just fine. I mean first age Elves can go toe to toe with them, one even has two Balrog kills under his belt(Glorfindel or something?), and I wouldn't put them so far above Vader that he couldn't perform the same feats.

If we include EU feats..then he should perform a lot better.

Vader trivially lifting near 50,000 lbs of Walker

I mean his name is Punderan for a reason.

He just loves him some puns.

So he'll probably get up one of Ancalagon's toes.

[Pendaran]

Yeah, without even touching anything else on the list, that dragon is just.. really not in his wheelhouse of things he can fight.
