One is from Cronal's perspective and thus frankly means nothing. The other talks about their dark presence and Vader wasn't pure evil. Not to mention when Luke last senses Palps before this book Vader was just redeemed making the quote absolutely useless for a comparison to Vader.
So yeah, Vader kicks his ass. 👆
