What are Monday morning board meetings with Darth Vader like?
>Lord Vader, it seems we've entered the Delta Quadrant with no iss-hues.
>imagine being Vader and getting backrest mogged by Tark
I imagine that Vader only attends meetings when he feels like it.That's why some high ranking officers feel confident in directly insulting him; they just haven't seen him much so don't know to fear him.
>>220945834I always guessed it’s cause he’s not officially part of the imperial naval hierarchy. Like he’s just some contractor who occasionally shows up and is given big jobs because he’s old friends with the boss, but he’s not actually one of you , he didn’t work his way up through the academy to become a high ranking officer. Like imagine if Donald trump just invited one of his old business buddies to every war meeting and this guy was constantly overruling and talking over high ranking US armed forces generals
>>220945834He insulted him a little
>>220945912>consider the following...
>>220945741I just can't imagine Hayden's character being like this. OT Vader just...doesn't mesh with the prequels Anakin. And Disney just made him into a slasher brute abandoning any pretense of a working brain.
>>220945877>I always guessed it’s cause he’s not officially part of the imperial naval hierarchyThat's pretty much it in Disney canon. "Lord" isn't even an official title, he just demanded everyone call him Lord Vader.
>>220945877when i worked doing phone/internet support, the ISPs service techs were in a real fucking bad mood because a contractor was hired to help meet demand, and they were getting most of the work despite needing someone to go back and fix a problem they caused half the time. the ISPs techs always caught big shit for that but the contractor seemed to get away with it constantly.now there are no more techs that work for the ISP and it's all contracted out and the call center i worked at closed years ago, outsourcing that work.so glad to be a jobseeking adult in 2026, such a prosperous and expansive era we live in.
But he fought in the clone wars as a general. That guy was literally his homie on the Resolute.
>>220945877>and this guy was constantly overruling and talking over high ranking US armed forces generalsYeah but the guy has magic powers though. And your boss can zap you and spin in the air.
>>220946059It’s like you are in China, plotting your next military action to wipe out Tibetan rebels. Then suddenly, a badly injured man on life support enters the room talking about the importance of attaining a rainbow body and taking refuge in the three jewels.You suspect he might have personally killed many of the last remaining Lamas during the purge, but you can’t prove anything, because of the strange mask he wears over his reconstructed face. You argue that military strategy and the new tanks is what will rout the rebels, not proper recitations of the mantras. Then suddenly, he produces a singing bowl and begins playing it while throat singing, and for a brief moment you forget your own name. When you come to, you are grief stricken by memories of the slow death of a sickly young boy in 14th century India. You don’t want to believe that boy was you, but he tells you that “until you are ready to begin accepting reality as it fundamentally is, you have not begun to walk the path.” Several months later, you hear that during a raid by rebels, he personally had a sword fight with his old teacher, one of the remaining Lamas in exile, who he killed. This now leaves only the Dalai Lama remaining. His old master literally evaporated, dissolving into a being of pure light after the killing blow was struck, circling all the way back to the idea of the rainbow body.You want to question your worldview, but you are also aware, though you shouldn’t know, that your glorious leader is secretly a devotee of Kali. The entire reason for all the trouble your country has been through in the last several generations has been a vicious fight over religious dogma. Your glorious leader has unlocked his Chakras to such a profound degree that he can telepathically induce an unwanted orgasm in you from a distance. You do everything you can to keep away from both men, while secretly trying to decide which religion to follow, seeing as both seem to be true.
>agenda to fight the rebels is AI slop
>>220945741>>220946787How many times does the phrase "circle back" appear in the meeting agenda memo?
>>220945963He is 22 in ROTS and 41 in the original film, he has plenty of time to mature offscreen
>>220945741Why the gloryhole chairs
>>220948364for when they get tempted by the dark side
>>220945980He's a Dark Lord of the Sith, that's why he's called Lord. Palpatine refers to Maul and Dooku as Lord and is referred to himself as Lord Sideous in the prequels. The term was used in a scene that was cut from Episode 4 and was used in the novel of said movie.
on the death star i cant imagine>i walked 7 kilometers to this meeting and took 20 elevators and im not leaving until ive force-choked someone
>>220949243You'd think it would be faster to just take a shuttle from say the northern hemisphere to the south but it looks like all the hangars are on the central equator which is kind of baffling.
