You try battling the rage-boosted Chosen One while also attempting to escape

There's a reason Fallen Order ends with Cal bolting from Vader because he's kind of average, and the average Jedi just doesn't compare to Vader

@OmegaFramework If you think Vader can die to explosives you're capping your ass off ong

If I came across Vader, I would probably faint, Jedi training or no Jedi training.

I agree with Jonax that one of the main reasons was probably the terror Vader evoked in his opponents: for one, his physical appearance alone (his inhuman look, his mechanical, "cold" breathing), as well as his aura (his strength in the Force, the amount of darkness he carried with him).

I've read fanfictions about Order 66 survivors encountering Vader and those described his presence as "freezing", that his presence alone would lower the temperature of the location they were at, which is pretty much what I would imagine his presence felt like. So, Vader definitely had the psychological advantage on his side.

But of course, Vader was also strong in the Force (even after his "incident" on Mustafar) and a great fighter, so, his skills were probably anyway superior to most Jedi

(Edit: I just realized you meant during Order 66, not some time after, so his suit-appearance shouldn't be considered)

^^ You're telling me he can survive a thermal detonator, the kind in ROTJ that could level Jabba's palace?

Expanding on what others said before, not only were most of the Jedi that were still alive not powerful enough to hold a candle to Vader, but most survivors were just padawans that had gotten lucky during the purge, meaning their Jedi training wasn’t even complete.

^^ He could probably use the force to redirect the explosion. But there's always a bigger explosive.

I'd say it's probably because most of them weren't powerful enough to defeat him. He was one of the most powerful Jedi around that time, and he has used civilians before to distract Jedi

^^^ Vader once survived Luke ramming his TIE head-on

And then falling from orbit

I'd wager that's more explosive force packed in their reactor cores than a detonator

^ But a tazer defeated him? oof.

Bro don't tell me you actually don't realize how much of a demon this mf Vader is..

^^ Well when your entire body relies on electronics to function properly that's kind of a big weakness

Palpatine built a weakness to electricity into his suit, IIRC (Made Force Lightning more effective)
