Vader actually has a pretty good chance here. Lightsaber wounds don't bleed, so the acid blood would be a smaller threat. Plus, Force powers.

Though against a legion of fast monsters with no sense of self-preservation?

And Vader, while incredibly powerful, is restricted somewhat with his armor and can't use Force Lightning.

I think it'd be more of an issue of how long the battle would be.

He still has Force Push, Force Pull and Force Toss-Around.

I've never understood why, in spite of every movie since the prequels trying to find ways to make Jedi hold more lightsabers or lightsabers with more blades, nobody (outside of several of the non-canon games, that is) has ever just learned to use the telekinetics of Force powers to just throw lightsabers, then boomerang and/or remote control them around?

Having the ability to jump a supernaturally large distance to a secure ledge while your weapon does your work for you has tremendous tactical advantages, especially against something without ranged weapons. And there's clearly no limit to just having one lightsaber, so even if someone smacks down your weapon, or gets close enough to you that you need a weapon in your hands right that instant, you can have a dozen in reserve.

Throwing your lightsaber in a Force-user vs. Force-user battle is an invitation to play Force-wrestling with the lightsaber, which is an uncertain proposition. Also, a lightsaber that's in your hand can be swung with both natural muscle power and the Force simultaneously, so trying to remotely attack someone with a lightsaber in hand wouldn't work out very well (Force-only vs. Force+muscles, Force-only loses.)

Could be an interesting way for a Force-user to deal with large numbers of non-Force-using mooks, though.

And now Force has stopped looking like a word to me.

Did you watch Rogue One: A Star Wars Story???

Pretty good image.
It's almost a shame it's a western IP drawn by a western artist in a non-animu style.

Luckily it's not official art.

Vader's Super Attack in Soul Calibur IV was this.
