Darth Vader hates Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars lore, a hatred that's matched only by that of himself, yet there still exists one person he hates more.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning! This article contains spoilers for Star Wars: Darth Vader #39 There are few people in the Star Wars galaxy Darth Vader hates more than Obi-Wan Kenobi, even if that hatred does stem from blinding self-loathing and misdirected sorrow. However, there is one other person who Darth Vader hates even more than his former master - and no, it isn’t himself.
Even before he fell to the dark side, Anakin Skywalker always held resentment for Obi-Wan. Episode II highlights this probably the best out of any film or show set in that time period, with Anakin telling Padmé how Obi-Wan doesn’t trust him, how he’s holding him back, and even how Obi-Wan is ‘jealous’ of his power. This resentment culminated in the epic climax of the entire prequel trilogy, with Anakin and Obi-Wan’s fateful battle on Mustafar in Episode III.
Darth Vader Hates Palpatine More Than Obi-Wan In Star Wars: Darth Vader #39 by Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco, Darth Vader overcomes his tenuous grasp on the Force to destroy a portion of the Scourge that was inhabiting a deadly Clone Wars-era droid that never saw mass production. To do that, Darth Vader had to focus on his blinding hatred, and really pinpoint the thing he truly hated most in the galaxy.
It is true that Darth Vader has admitted on more than one occasion that he hates himself more than anyone else, with one example seen in the Star Wars Tales #9 story “Resurrection” during his fight with Darth Maul. However, based on his entire Star Wars character arc, it makes way more sense that Vader actually hates Palpatine the most. By hating the Emperor, Darth Vader has given Palpatine dominion over him, as hatred is the source of dark side power.
This isn’t to say Darth Vader doesn’t have intense hatred for Obi-Wan as well as immense self-loathing, as he unarguably does. However, when it comes to who Darth Vader hates more than anyone in the Star Wars galaxy, himself and Obi-Wan Kenobi don’t hold a candle to the true point of Darth Vader’s hatred, Emperor Palpatine.
