Originally posted by relentless1This question is worthy of its own thread, but what makes Vader "more forgiving than the emperor" as he says himself in RotJ if he kills his own men over minor infractions? It was Sidious who spared Xizor when Vader was choking him out. It seems to me that Sheev is the more forgiving one; at least rationally speaking.
as far as this issue is concerned I think that im one of the few that actually liked and understood Vaders actions; remember him killing Fox is just the first in a long line of death-by-chokes that hes done to those who failed him; how is this any different from killing Ozzel for the small infraction of coming out of light speed too early??And destroying the information on Force sensitives is exactly what young, freshly minted Vader would do... hes just lost his wife and Palpatine is the only person hes got left; he may be getting better at living in his suit physically but hes still got deep deep mental and emotional scars and having to deal with competition at this point in his life would probably too much for him to take so he did what he had to to secure his position; im sure he remembers what happened to Dooku after all....
