Did Darth Vader ever operate a button on the devices on his belt or his chest? If Darth Vader has equipment like the one on the belt with him at all times, it has to be important somehow. But I don't remember him ever using any of those buttons.

  • In Legends, Antinnis Tremayne manages to hit a button to incapacitate Vader during a training exercise. Presumably, someone toggled the "incapacitate incredibly powerful sith" button back to the off position.

From this book dedicated to his armor, we learn that its automated but he can activate it manually if he desires it.

There is a full explanation here if you want to know if it makes him weaker or not.

    This is the starting point for an answer but without explaining further about whether or not he did use the buttons and diving into what the book says I'm not really sure if this is currently an answer.

    We learn that what exactly is automated?
