According to the MAR Corps member, Darth Vader used the Force to psychically maintain their individual consciousnesses alive to see all the terrible things the droid implants were doing, not only controlled the team with them. It was a real drill in cruelty, displaying also the force of Vader's mental ability via the Force. Most crucially, though, the degree of the dark side energy Vader inundated their thoughts with made the MAR Corps impervious to psychic attacks even from something as cosmically strong as the Summa-Verminoth.
This is a big evidence of the great might of Darth Vader. Fans have known that he is strong in the Force, able of murdering almost any Jedi who opposes him also defying the stifling effect of Darth Sidious, but this is something else entirely. The evil side of Darth Vader is so potent that it not only leaves its mark on those who Survive but also strengthens them. The inexplicable might of Darth Vader blessed the MAR Corps, much as a mortal meeting a cosmic god.
Long confirmed as one of the most potent Force-wielders in Star Wars history, both as the Dark Lord of the Sith and back when Anakin Skywalker was the Jedi Knight. Fans probably may not realize, though, that Vader is so strong and can boost the strength of people who escape his fury as it was just disclosed in Star Wars canon.
In Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco's Star Wars: Darth Vader #47, a sizable portion of red kyberite from Exegol has been pilfers by a Schism Imperial - bureaucrat within the Empire set to topple Emperor Palpatine. But first they have to kill a massive, psychic, squid-like beast known as the Summa-Verminoth before they can just fly away from this terrible planet. And among the Schism Imperial, the MAR Corps are some seem more easily receptive to the terrible force of this cosmic terror.
Being a practically supernatural myth, Darth Vader has always been more than just a Sith Lord or high-ranking Imperial. From the narrative of how Darth Vader "killed 50 Jedi" at the beginning of the Empire's rule to single-handedly defeating a leviathan on a backwater world, Darth Vader had a lot of achievements that added to his terrible legacy. And now, this is the most recent illustration of Dave Vader's god-tier Power; maybe the most amazing of all since his very existence in other people strengthens them.
This feat of Power not only is remarkable but also gave life to a fresh, technologically advanced crew of Rebel fighters resistant to mental attacks from Force-wielders. Only time will tell if the MAR Corps uses the authority bestowed upon them against their old leader or whether their existence serves merely to augment the legacy of POWER Darth Vader. Either way, the MAR Corps show one amazing fact about Darth Vader: surviving him truly gives one powers in Star Wars mythology.
Originally his own personal foot-soldiers, the MAR Corps is a force of Rebel cyborgs under control via Imperial Droid Processing Implants. Following the Schism Imperial's confrontation with the Sith Eternal on Exegol, their implants fried and the MAR Corps recovered control over their bodies and consciousness. Instead of trying to cure the implants, Vader chooses to leave the MAR Corps on Exegol to be slaughtered by the psychic attacks of the Summa-Verminoth. The beast did not, however, effect the MAR Corps.
"Vader trapped us in our own bodies," one MAR Corps member says when asked how this was possible. Kept us conscious while his Imperial droid units regulated our behavior. We had seen Vader. We thus presumably have seen worse.
Designed by the will of the Force itself, Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One prophesied to restore the Force into balance. Anakin battled to balance conflicting attachments to the Jedi Order and his wife Padmé Amidala, and finally descended into the Dark Side and became Darth Vader. He was right hand man for Palpatine for years, but the faith of his son Luke Skywalker finally brought him atonement. Anakin, now a Force Ghost, still acting as an agent of balance.
