[@eclectichawk4790]

I can see why Vader let him go, it wasn't a scheme to get power or gain favour. It was a gesture. Honest and pure with no agenda behind it.

[@alemonkiki]

Definetly non cacon. Its not a bad gesture but if it really hits his birthday he would ask how does he know? He would kill him for knowing his old identity

[@fawfulbenivictor5556]

​@@alemonkiki is it possible that Canon Vader might on the flip side appreciate the fact that the trooper had all that power but chose only to use it in a show of sincere appreciation? I'm not too familiar on how Canon Vader treats stormtroopers let alone ones who would do such a (admittedly foolish) but earnestly kind thing.

Being a stormtrooper is probably punishment enough. Besides Vader killed officers because either they were incompetent and put others in danger or they were arrogant snobs that vader couldn't stand.

[@james739123]

@@mr.vargas5648 I don't know were but I think a snobby officer and one of his Stormtroopers were having a conversation on the matter and it went something like Officer: What makes Lord Vader more deserving of respect then me? Trooper: If I may sir, he never asks us to do anything he can't do himself.

[@kkit7540]

Think the clone wars series shows this, Anakin actually cared about the lives of his 501st,thats why they loved him. The jedi who were meant to cherish all life were 99% terrible commanders who saw the clones as nothing more than droids to be thrown away. The deeper you get into the lore you can see why the jedi fell. The were self absorbed and ignorant which completely contradicted their 'jedi code'. Look for the you tube series called Star Wars I.M.P.S and it will completely change the way you see the stormtroopers.

[@anniebot_45-73]

it's such a gentle, humanizing moment. secretly wishing someone to start a connection with him, but knowing he can't simply come out and say "today is my birthday" because then people would disingenuously fall over themselves to celebrate. instead, with this small token from a unidentified stormtrooper probably leads him to think "they... already know? they know it's my birthday, but they never bring it up. they don't want to make a big deal of it... maybe to respect the hierarchy? maybe because i never made a point of it, they assume i don't care about my birthday... what if... what if they care about me? what if they truly respect me? i should show them some kindness in return for this. the galaxy could do with a little more kindness." and that could have been one of a thousand lynchpins that set off his turning on his master in protection of his son. the idea that even the men he sends to their deaths care about him, maybe there is still hope left, after all.

Its fun to see that Darth Vader of all people, had a very casual side to him that he simply kept hidden from everybody, and that Vader was truly contemplating how he would break the news to Luke that he was his father. Whenever he is seen on screen or panel, Vader always maintains a strict, controlled composure and it seems that his mind is only on empire business; as though he is a robot programmed for domination. Knowing that Vader really is human underneath his figurative & literal masks and wants to connect with people is actually touching.

4:09 Jesus the part Vader trying to call his dead mother and saying mommy, where are you? Really got me. Dude needs a hug.

It makes sense for the stormtroopers to feel that way and think about helping him. They were passionate about fighting for the Empire and were in the end just regular people who also thought that they were on the right side and had a family and everything to fight and care for. Vader was a legend and so of course they'd feel bad for their leader, because in their eyes the man is a decisive warrior who's many times together with them at the front lines and cleaning buildings and taking over whole enemy ships. I'd feel some type of way too if I find out my leader who's always so intimidating, strong, powerful and legendary is actually alone and struggling.
