Yea, Darth Vader has the ability to dodge arcs and prevent getting shot at in the first place.

Also if you mean "kills vader" more literally (not just in terms of bang-for-your-points), Quickdraw can really only shoot Vader twice in a turn; you're not going to get him in both arcs, and you have to lose a shield to get that 2nd shot in (which only triggers once per round). The extra shot out the back means you're giving up an attack die in the front, which you don't want to do against a tanky ship like Vader. Against a large ship you could theoretically get the same ship in both arcs, but that's rare, and Quickdraw has to be judicious about when to take the extra frontal attack power.

Quickdraw could be devastating to Vader in a face-to-face slugging match, but in a real fight I don't think the outcome would be certain. Vader's action economy and bonus crit could do a lot of harm very fast... Quickdraw isn't the only one with big teeth. If you're comparing them side-by-side to choose who to put in your fleet, it's not a clear choice. It depends a lot on the rest of your fleet.
