The power of Vader is his reserve. He holds back when he fights. He challenges himself.
This is best shown when he fights with his lightsabre. You’ll notice he always fights with a single hand until he feels challenged. It makes his opponents look weak. Watch ESB fight again and think of this.
There are two times we have seen Vader fight aggressively. The first was in cloud city on the catwalk. He gripped his sabre with both hands and swung aggressively at Luke. Even at this time he had to pull back (Luke was his son who he had no intention of killing and there was a sabre at the other end of his).
The second time was R1. This was Vader unleashed. He held nothing back because, we’ll, he didn’t have to. The crew were just like sunflowers and he was walking through a field chopping the tops off. Fish in a barrel.
This piece shows Vader in a reserved stance. His weight isn’t distributed on a forward facing leg. He isn’t plowing forward.
To fix this, Vader’s head needs to look over his right shoulder (turn the head right from his perspective) giv8 g he impression he is lung8ng forward on his right leg. His left hand needs to come down so it isn’t pointed out to the side.
