I think it's just his reputation with force choking imperial officers. The comment above mentioned this but I think Vader didn't brandish his force choking on storm troopers as he did Imperial officers seeing as when he was Anakin he actually had troopers as friends and probably respects them more than the officers since they're more often doing the actual fighting along side him

Indeed. Vader had much more respect for the Stormtroopers than he did for the Imperial officers, as they (and he) were the ones more often fighting the battle on the ground rather than giving orders from a Star Destroyer. Moreover, when the two Stormtroopers plead with him to stop choking them and he says, "It's not my doing", one can't help but think, "That's better than what he did with two officers (cough cough Ozzel, Needa)."

its because the empire is pretty chill. they probably joined t or something

[@Gabronthe]

Being Assigned to Vader, they were probably damn decent clones or troopers. And unlike the major goofy officers, these competent foot soldiers where probably pretty comfortable around Vader. Also since they're looking for The Death Star Plans, this is pre battle of endor meaning that most of the 501st are still alive (most of which died on the death star) so there are probably common imperials and clones who have been serving Vader over 15 years. I might sound crazy, but it almost seems Vader is infuriated/annoyed at the death of these troopers (some of them probably were clones)

She's a complete failure not even worthy of being President of Disney Star Wars. I'm so glad that she was taken out of presidential position because she was in no way fit for it. Worst thing of all is she treated Luke Skywalker so terrible and gave him the death that he could've avoided if he actually fought, but made him too ignorant to fight back and say see ya later kid and he never did. The whole sequel was basically her felt and the three character ruining directors that just ruined the sequels. I actually get a kick out of the new books and comics. Some of them are so ridiculous.
