>>211796957 i think he always knew he had twins but he never knew what happened to them. it was such a haze being vader king of the imperial empire that he could never really focus efforts on finding them. but when he came close to them he could sense it through the force
>>211796719 Tarkin was one of literally two people in the galaxy who could stop him if he felt like killing someone, and even then that was out of personal respect rather than obligation.

>>211796503 Ahkshully, Vader isn't formally part of the navy. He's like the dietary advisor of the President, if the President were some wrinkly old space monk.
>>211802670 He's effectively a Commissar, meaning he can do whatever the fuck he wants provided he doesn't piss off someone with more clout than him. Since that pool is Tarkin and the Emperor, mouthing off is a really stupid idea.

>>211796719 He was under a lot of stress in Empire. The Death Star thing didn't bother him too much, but people kept fucking up in a personal matter to him.

>>211796719 I mean... The super weapon they were working on for 14;years blew up and the second one they were constructing had to be rebuilt because of a flaw, tarkin was the only one besides the emperor who could check him, he found out the emperor lied to him and his children were alive, and own son blew up the death star and he was tortured for failing. I mean he's uhhh pissed
>>211796719 first off, Ep 5 takes place like 4 years after ep 4 second off, the Emperor was pitting Tarkin and Vader against each other to see who would be his new #2. With Tarkin Dead, Vader basically had carte blanche to do whatever he wanted so long as the Emperor had no issue with it

>>211813055 They were unapproachable though werenโt they? I was under the impression a majority were out in the war.

>>211813055 Palps had also turned them into military targets. They were the hyper-competent, extremely dangerous generals in this devastating war. And after the assassination attempt mere hours after the heads of the confederacy fell it becomes a little more believable that the general population sees them as dangerous power grubbers.

>>211801354 Nihilus did some stuff if we wanna count legends.
Why was everyone acting like the Jedi were some long-forgotten myth when half the people in that room were old enough to personally remember the Republic and the Jedi order? It was less than 20 years ago.
>>211817206 There were only about 10,000 Jedi during the Prequels to look after a galaxy with trillions and trillions of people in it. Statistically you are very unlikely to ever encounter one, much less see one do something cool and combine that with state propaganda diminishing them into a bunch of schizos that tried to overthrow the government with claims that the Chancellor was part of an satanic cult that manipulated all the galaxy's corporations and both sides of the war to consolidate power and allow him the freedom to consume all the Twi'lek child adrenochrome he wanted and live forever on a spooky throne.
>>211817617 the people who were recruited into the empire's upper ranks were definitely aware of the Jedi and were surely educated about them in whatever military academy they attended. I bet most of them even directly interacted with the Jedi, since they were probably part of the republic's military management and were just carried over when it was reorganized into the imperial army or whatever.

>>211817206 I really don't see how anyone ever supposedly acted like this, the OT never implied it and Luke is a young man whose father was a renowned Jedi Knight, very recent. Motti says "ancient religion" because that's what it is, he doesn't mean that it hasn't been practiced since antiquity. Christianity is an ancient religion too.

>>211796331 They're literally all the same one under different interpretations.
>>211796333 Because that movie is from 1977 and was shot on crappy film. It was shown in theaters on 1970s / 1960s projectors that was streched to fit on a 40 foot screen, so people wouldn't notice the fruit snacks on his uniform.

Wasn't this society well known to be founded by a wizard that fought a little green thing for total power of all these humans? Wasn't it all recorded on holofilm?
