Dont get me wrong; I love a good redemption story as much as the next person.
Anything that falls under the Legends category is not considered canon in currentStar Warslore.
Krayn and his fellow pirates had even raided Tatooine when Anakin was young and took his friends mother.
Vaders every action, every word, was laced with the potential for rebellion.
Look, Ive seen the data.
Consider the resources Vader amassed, the hidden projects, the alliances he forged in the shadows.
Those werent just for show.
