No he can't.

Maybe they could park him on some backwater planet, for a desk job. I don't know, perhaps Tatooine?

@Moonednearearth You do realize that this entire topic ( and the post you seem to object to in particular ) are about a fictional science fiction character right ?

They are blind to knowledge and wisdom.
Reason is an alien concept to them.
They are beyond our help my friend.

the explanation is simple, all this was a set-up by Palpatine so as not to repeat the mistake of his master Darth Plagueis who sought the secret of immortality without thinking of his own. If Palpatine would have passed on his knowledge to Darth Vader, he would have been killed as in the rule of two, because Anakin was the chosen one supposed to restore the balance of the force and therefore, one of the most powerful person. Besides, Palpatine was "pretty bad" at 1vs1 combat, because he almost got killed by Mace Windu and would have died without Anakin.

Palpatine was nevertheless more powerful than Vader in understanding the dark side of the force and Sith dark magic techniques, which made him a brilliant manipulator. Vader was only a pawn of his plan, in reality Vader is not really Palpatine's apprentice but rather his slave, that's why he made him this armor, even more humiliating than that of grievous, because this meant that Palpatine could personally control Vader's pain and make him suffer even more to make him demonic.

this point of view would almost make Vader a martyr of the force, misunderstood by the Jedi and locked in an almost sectarian order preventing family happiness (which Anakin has never known before) and toy of the dark side, vile servant of a emperor who had promised him wonders in his quest for power. Besides, Vader was more of a kind of Sith knight because Tarkin or Thrawn were the real military and political brains of the empire. Thrawn was also the ideal candidate to replace the Emperor after his presumed death.

They couldn't live in a real civilization because, if they did, they'd become "talented" in all of the real world's skills -- actually they'd be incompetent, but none of their audiences would be able to admit that because they would all be victimized by mind-tricks.

In the legendary universe, the Sith were a species sensitive to the force and dedicated entirely to the dark side who fought with some success against the Rakatas then left part of their knowledge to human colonists. humans managed to create a sith empire with a sith order that nearly controlled the entire galaxy under the old republic. it was Bane who launched the rule of two to regulate the power of the sith and channel the dark side into one person, an apprentice, who will kill the master the day he finds another apprentice, that's precisely the problem: that the Sith want to control the galaxy without knowing how to control themselves. therefore, Palpatine, by making Vader a slave, made a real coup (before episode IX) but we can seriously discuss the attempted transfer of power to Rey. because palpatine maybe wanted to do a body transfer?

so the sith are logical villains, aware that they serve evil, and claiming this in the name of the balance of the force. I also think that the notion of the dark side of the force (or better karma of the force) is omnipresent, because the concept of force means that the force would punish bad users or people who are too ambitious (Jedi, Sith, Vader, Luke, Kylo Ren, Palpatine). the force would therefore perhaps be an autonomous extraterrestrial entity which would create karma for those who wanted to control and tame it

Yes of course. Lucas wanted to create something more like mythology than what we consider everyday life. Star Wars = Akira Kurosawa + Fifties Space Opera.

Yes, you are one that gotta realize the context and the wording used from another user posed question to me.
2nd, what was fictional then if a mod deleted an answer for nonsensical reason. Yet not him.
I'm not gonna trouble you kids with your infinite wisdom over this topic anymore ; )
