I've never found tempo control to be super useful in 100. Most squads are about 6 or less activations anyways.
Plus Darth Vader isn't the greatest. even for his low cost. I'd prefer to see someone like Anakin SA.. or Vader SotJ (both cheapish, 39 and 55 respectively) and both still able to output 60 damage a round. Even Vader Unl wouldn't be bad for 3 pts more.
I know other Vaders are better, but I just wanted to brush the dust of this guy and make a squad with him. He should be good against scrubs. Tempo control probably can be done without, but I've seen some squads that have 10 or more pieces in them. Definitely not normal ,but Veed gives you the option to activate 1 or 2 pieces. I'm mostly giving the old Vader a chance. If I were playing competitively, not semi-competitively, I'd go with Darth Vader, SotJ. Vader Unleashed isn't to bad either. He will definitely get to use his Force Grip 4 at least once. He would also be able to help Arica against stealthy targets.
