Connections: The original Chosen Ones with special laser swords (Anakin’s Skywalker being given immense significance in universe to the point of having a force echo in The Force Awakens and Excalibur obviously being of great importance) who were accompanied all of their life by a wise mentor who’d make tons of wisecracks and smartass comments (Merlin and Obi-Wan Kenobi), a trustworthy squadron of soldiers heralded as the greatest of their time (The Knights of the Round Table and the 501st Legion) with a close personal friend who’d live on past their falling even when suffering from injuries (Bedivere and Captain Rex) who would serve on long enough to see the redemption of their friend (Bedivere seeing Goddess Rhongomyniad return to herself and Rex serving during the battle of endor where Anakin redeemed himself) and a younger warrior with a laser sword who looked up to them but would come to face them in battle anyway (Mordred Pendragon and Ahsoka Tano). The two were corrupted by dark forces fundamental to the universe and humankind that turned them into black clad knights of terror with masks that would inspire fear into others with their very appearance and act significantly more menacing and robotic, who’s laser swords even changed colour to reflect such. Eventually they would be defeated anyway by younger aspiring heroes who would succeed them (Shiro Emiya and Luke Skywalker) and have connections to their past (Shiro being the adopted son of Saber’s former master who was adopted due to the actions caused by Saber destroying the grail and Luke being Anakin’s son who fought to redeem his father). The two also have a significant story relating to a younger version of themself (Saber Lily and Young Anakin). Both are also shit dads.

This is my preferred for both. I think pitting Saber up against an actual successful chosen one like Luke doesn't really work, which is why I think someone like Vader is an amazing dynamic. Obito is great too, but swordfight bias lol.
