Jesus imagine how much officers and Imperial guards must hate it when the Emperor gives any command that doesn’t involve an explicit or implicit exception for Vader. Like, the Emperor is like “I am not to be disturbed for ANY reason” and the staff spend the rest of their shifts sweating and hoping that Vader doesn’t show up because if he does he’s definitely going to answer their denial by silently throttling them without touching them. And you can tell the guards are just raising their weapons for show, because really what are they gonna do? They’re two jackasses with pikes.
this has not stopped being funny. that guy just narrowly avoided death and he has to keep standing there in front of Vader. “Very good,” he says, like this is a normal exchange with somebody who was not just a second ago 100% going to murder him. he’s such a nightmare
