The reason Piett survived after the Falcon jumped at the end of ESB is because Vader respected Piett, unlike his dipshit predecessor Ozzel. Vader killed Ozzel because of an overall insignificant command decision. Piett let Vader's son slip through his fingers and Vader just walked passed him. It was because Piett was a loyalist to the Empire and wasn't motivated by ego or political power. Hell, Piett didn't even want to be promoted to command Death Squadron. Which is exactly why he was promoted.

[@bluedotdinosaur]

"Its ability to create problems has certainly been confirmed." Really underrated line - quite beautifully flows into Vader's visible contempt for the Death Star as soon as he arrives on it in A New Hope. I always liked to interpret his disdain for the whole Death Star concept as an indication of his disagreement with Palpatine ruling as emperor and the methods Palpatine had come to rely on. Seeding Vader taking a chance with Luke - which if you think about it, was a really big risk for him! - and offering to go in with Luke on overthrowing the emperor. Vader, in his own way, still craved justice. Not revenge and power for the sake of power, like Palpatine did. We all joke about how Vader keeps murdering underlings and giving the job to the next person in line, but in a weird way it was another reflection of his twisted desire for truth and justice. He was probably oddly sincere in hoping the new person promoted to a position would prove competent and succeed where others had justly failed. Probably would have respected them and happily rewarded them, if they had. One can believe that Vader was totally honest in wishing to end wanton destruction and bring order to the galaxy. The Death Star, while a tool he would ruthlessly use, probably did actually disgust him in its flagrantly heavy handed strategy.

[@bobbobobbington2239]

Good point and a big reason why he employed Bounty Hunters like Boba Fett while the Empire looked down on them. It's because Vader respected people who could get the job done. He hated his incompetent Imperial colleagues with a deep passion.

[@jjrj8568]

I agree; but Vader HATED the Death Star and everything it represented: technology eclipsing the Dark Side of the Force and laziness/weakness. I'm not sure he would have even finished the 2nd Death Star after the death of Sidious; Vader preferred an honest, old-fashioned military assault of troopers + a Force user in command, everyone getting stronger/sharper in the process.

[@andrewft31]

Vader had no say over the Death Star, its construction was started when he was just a Padawan in Episode II, we see Dooku with the hologram of it. So it was always a goal of the Emperor.

If Vader had ever decided to design weapon systems, they would be frighteningly efficient, perfectly precise, masterfully elegant, and beyond overwhelming in power. They would be nimble, agile and not some overblown mega-weapon, but a precision instrument of war. It would have reflected that dark being he had become while also showing you could be effective without going overboard.

Here’s what Vader wanted to say: “Krennic, listen to me and listen well. You interrupted my Bacta tank bath. That tube of liquid is the closest thing I have towards happiness and pleasure nowadays. And do you know why that is? My former master maimed me and left me to burn along a riverbed right outside. This suit I wear isn’t for dramatic effect, it’s literally the only thing keeping me alive. It is heavy, the material is itchy, the gloves bunch at the wrists and my helmet puts needles into my head. So, any chance I have to take it off is one I do not wish to squander. Yet, here I am, talking to you because you have an inferiority complex. I would rather be talking to my wife or child, but they are dead. Or my old apprentice, but she’s dead for all I know. I would even welcome the company of my latest apprentice, and he destroyed my last suit and started this blasted rebellion. Their conversation would be, at the least, more interesting than you fretting over Governor Tarkin making you feel small. If I didn’t think it would disrupt the Death Star’s development, I would take my lightsaber and shorten you by a head. Now, get back to being at least moderately useful before I indulge myself.”

Vader being able to kill him isn't what scares him, any Stormtrooper with a gun can do that anytime. What scares people is that this weirdo with his space magic can kill anyone without any fear of punishment, because for some reason nobody in the empire fully understands why the Emperor puts this guy above most of his military leaders and basically gave him free reign within the forces. They don't understand the why and wherefroms of Vader. That is what scares them. They understand the concept of climbing the ranks for power, but nobody ever saw Vader do that. One day there was this giant armored warlock who seemingly could order entire armies on a whim and with the full trust of the Emperor. And that's just fuckng weird from an outside perspective.

Fortress Vader was built on a Sith cave. It was the Jedi Temple on Coruscant that was built on a Sith shrine.

Death Vader’s castle was built on an ancient mustufarian artifact known as the bright star

[@Theemptythroneistaken]

Vader actually thought the death star was a waste of recources and time that could be used to develope and improve star destroyers and Equip troopers with better gear! He also thought the deathstar to be a very flawed concept that was more vulnérable to attack and thus leave the Emperor in danger something admiral thrawn actually agreed with him on but the Emperor didnt listen to them.

[@4137Swords]

Yeah, later on in New Hope, he shows his disdain for the Death Star as well. I like how they kept that consistent

[@lordsylph414]

In the ORIGINAL canon, the Death Star(s), and other Imperial SuperWeapons were built to combat the impending extragalactic invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, not to combat a spread out rebellion. Vader didn’t know this, so all he saw were massive wastes of resources and labor

[@blackvial]

Quite a few of Palpatine's advisors were against the idea of the Death Star

Im not going to lie, I bet that bacta tank bath felt unreal and soothing.

[@moviehermit5631]

Jacob Kelly, it is canonically the most relaxed Vader can be. It’s the only environment that is peaceful and soothes his burns, as opposed to his suit, which is designed to bring him pain and anger that fuels his power. Vader has every opportunity to have a more advanced suit that doesn’t feel like he’s walking in a sealed suit of Hell. But he uses all that pain and hatred of what he’s become to become more powerful. But ghat doesn’t mean he won’t take some time to not be in agonizing pain every now and then. As long as there are special guards dedicated to protecting him in that state without speaking a word of it to anyone (to not make Vader become viewed as weak)

[@justinharvey1355]

Even as the years go by, James Earl Jones and that powerful and iconic voice has never lost it's razor sharp edge. Full respect!!!

[@mrizwan7566]

I was actually relieved when i first hear him in rouge one. Because I had the same concern that his voice lost its edge due to age. But thankfully thats not the case. In case of star trek picard as bad as that show is, the most saddest part is patrick stewart commanding voice that was integral to picard character is not the same anymore due to age. Which is sad and painful and remind me that time spare no one. Not even lthe egendary actors who bring life to our favorite characters.

Rest in peace Mr Jones. You're now one with the force and will be remembered forever 😢
