Maybe he comes back as Gandalf the White afterwards and kills Vader off screen

And Vader was defeated by Dooku, an old man who was still an APPRENTICE.

I agree.

Yeah the pro-Vader guy is missing it. Gandalf isn’t an old man, that is just the form he manifests himself in. He is clearly shown in the book to be as lithe and strong as any man. Vader is the one who dies due to his old decrepit body crapping out (not that he isn’t strong). Also, Gandalf, as one of the Maiar, could be described as a minor god. Vader is just a cyborg. Sorry just had to show some support for Gandalf, but I agree with the previous commenter who says it is really a stupid comparison.

Both great characters, but different Universes with different rules. It is a stupid comparison honestly … just another thing to get fanboys on both sides foaming at the mouth. Both are very powerful, Vader’s for example is really shown more in some of the novels vs the older films were CGI and super effects were in their infancy. (IE: Vader force choked and killed thousands of Nogri warriors at once in Zahn’s series).

For Gandalf, a demi-god, reborn the White through Eru … a great power.

This is really Force vs Divinity; more of a philosophical debate than a Grudge Match.

My winner: Neither … I’ll keep my love for classic Star Wars and LOTR intact and happy as is.

Reason why Vader loses: Gandalf is a Maia. All Vader’s arguments are invalid, he’s fighting an angel =p

Ok, we saw the fight between Darth Vader and Gandalf the Grey.
Now I want to see how Gandalf the White kicks Vaders butt ^^

Yeah I was expecting Gandalf to come back from the dead and kick Vader’s ass. They should have done the whole ‘If you strike me down I’ll become more powerful…’ thing, except in Gandalf’s case he really DOES!

Gandalf being an Istari/Maiar meant he was essentially a junior member of the gods (for non-Tolkien friends I compare the Valar to Olympus, or explain that Gandalf is “angel class” )— that has to count for something! : > And even in Lucas’ world, age meant growing in power, as evidenced by Yoda. The video is really nicely done, even though it is clearly wrong, hehe.

Gandalf could own him all the way. Voters are false!

It would depend partly on which Gandalf we’re talking about. Gandalf the Grey wasn’t able to fend off the power of Saruman, but Gandalf the WHITE completely smacked him down! White Gandalf would do the same to Vader.
