Is it Star Wars fans complaining about Troi? I always figured it was Star Trek fans. Then again I never understood why there was a divide or why you have to be one or the other?

Even so empathy is the thing that Troi is supposed to excel at. She's the counselor presumably because she's an empath.

Vader, on the other hand is a capable warrior, commands the dark side of the force, is a legendary pilot, leads troops, and senses other force users. At this point neither Luke nor Vader is aware of Leia's sensitivity to the force.

This seems like the equivalent of the Flash being bad at running then saying Superman isn't very fast either.

I've got no problem criticizing Star Wars. There's plenty to over. But this isn't really a good comparison.
