When the CEO walked into the meeting room where I was having a meeting with my boss, I immediately knelt and said "It's an honour to kneel in your presence, sir". He said "Carry on, worker. The company needs more men like you. Whoever you are. Hurry along, manager." And that was my one and only glimpse of the CEO in my company.

Vader, like Anakin, despises incompetence. A lot of the military officers in the empire were chosen for political reasons - they were the children of aristocratic families that Palpatine rewarded for loyalty with wealth and privileged commands.

The way he describes Palpatine makes me believe that he's force sensitive. He may not be good at seeing the attacks with the drones he fought with. But he certainly seems to possess an extrasensory gift. That, or Palpatine radiates so much energy that even non sensitives can feel it

[@NarasimhaDiyasena]

Probably palpatine radiating energy which the trooper became accustomed to by being around Vader. Energy imprint. In real life woman in particular but also men can feel the presence of another before they even enter a room. Intuition induced from the gut interpreting the signal of ones hearts electromagnetic field overlapping with another. This is known to the ancients as Melam, a prickly feeling one encounters when on the presence of the Gods, a feeling which simultaneously generates adoration and fear inducing a response that is respect.

[@The_Lunch_Man]

I do find it a bit intriguing that Vader tells Kreel to *respect and be worthy* of the Jedi Lightsaber, implying he should live up to and surpass the Jedi it belonged to. Considering how much Vader hated the Jedi, its almost indirect respect.

[@VoiceOfTheEmperor]

A "backhanded compliment". As I like to say it.

[@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447]

i think that it's just straight up respect

[@yasininn76]

Vader hated the jedi order, not the jedis themselves. And deep down, anakin was still there

[@joshuasitzema9920]

I think Kreel reminded him of many of the younger jedi who looked up to Vader and respected the troopers as much as he did. So in a way I think it's mixture of wanting to atone for killing off that younger generation and to rebuild a new group who are loyal, intelligent, and capable, which Kreel certainly is. It's why I dislike the inquistors as a whole. They aren't capable like the Imperial Knights in Legends were, nor as good as the Hands who served the Emperor in legends as well.

[@pliskenx51mm83]

Vader is a warrior thru and thru and even if the enemy was a Jedi he can respect that they died fighting.

Imperials like Kreel are the kinds of characters I want to see more of in shows.

We need more stories about real loyal Imperials. Especially stories from their points of view.

[@Lord_Numpty]

*Yes!* The average men serving the Empire who simply believe it's a just form of government, unaware of the attrocities it's responsible for. It'd show that while the Empire itself is evil prior to the rise of the Fel Empire, those serving it are not necessarily so. Like how Kyle Katarn was a decorated Stormtrooper before learning the Empire killed his father.

"Living lightning" really does feel like an apt description of Palpatine and his presence, even disregarding his status as a Sith Lord. As a politician, he really did manage to electrify people. He gave rousing speeches, managed to turn the entire Republic to war, and then into an Empire, his words being cheered on the entire time. He knows how to use charisma as a weapon, and can really turn around so many situations to his advantage just by applying some manipulation. In both the Disney and Legends canons, even death is more of a setback than the final defeat it ought to have been. In some ways, he's almost a force of nature, striking as he pleases to devastating effect. It's a very poetic way to view the man, but it feels appropriate - especially coming from someone who's ultimately just a lowly cog in the Imperial machine, and ultimately at the mercy of whatever Palpatine's whims might be.
