I agree, his Anakin side, while hidden under many, many layers of hate and disillusion, still translates into respect and honour for those that serve under him with not only efficiency, but visible merit and devotion to duty for the empire, rather than being rich men from ruling families who snuck their place into command roles. Friendship is heavily debatable but Vader respects these examples enough to go out of his usual way to ensure they are rewarded and shielded for their raw talent and obvious steadfast loyalty beyond simple family connection, paper pushing or infighting.

The sequel trilogy was determined to offer nothing new or interesting.

I think it's important to note that after the 5 days Nanda spent with Vader, even though she earned her promotion, those credits, and the respect of the Dark Lord, she was deeply traumatized afterwards, having hallucinations of Vader everywhere she went. It is unknown how long these hallucinations lasted or if they even disappeared at all

It's crazy how Vader in a lot of ways actually represents the good, reasonable boss everyone deserves to have; he actually respects hard work, competence, integrity and holds everyone to the same and frankly, reasonable, standards; do your best, don't screw up, or just own up when you do. And if you do you'll get actually get rewarded very fairly so in spite of his other drawbacks he's actually very reasonable when it comes down to it. And unlike a lot of other bosses or people in HR he doesn't show or tolerate favoritism, double standards, incompetence or just blatantly give jobs or promotions based on class, family name etc. His attitude is actually a good example of both "you work hard you get rewarded" and "play stupid games win stupid prizes."

I'm actually surprised that Vader respected anyone else besides his own master because it would be normal for Vader to execute those who were beneath him but in this case it's a rare occurrence that instead of executions he respected the two officers that were loyal to him

I wish we saw more officers Vader actually had a good relationship with. What about the officer we briefly saw in A New Hope, right after Vader met Leia? The one who commented "Holding her is dangerous." He seemed to have no fear of Vader.

This is why he didn’t respect a lot of the core world officers because most of them came from rich families anyways, goes to show you that money can buy you anything, but Vader disregarded that, because he was a slave and he had to work from the top. In Vader’s eyes, if you didn’t, work for your position, you deserve no respect.

I had no idea that Darth Vader liked and respected Rae Sloane so much.

Very cool

I think it is obvious the first character had Vader's respect. The second however I am not convinced. Nanda went on a long, hard, dangerous mission that threatened her life. All she got in return was the promised bribe, some cash, and better housing on a ship. Sure, it is more than the promised bribe (just the promotion), but that is a very low bar to set for "Vader's respect." Oh and let us not forget that the Empire fell apart shortly after this life-threatening mission, ensuring that Nanda essentially lost that bribe promotion, leaving her with just some extra cash and one "well done" from Vader. That isn't much. I hope the next video is better.

She later on joined the Pelleon and, if I recall legends lore - Raise up to Grand Admiral allong with Pelleon

Despite Vader being a dick, he's a good manager which goes beyond to follow through his promises of promotion 😂

This nuance was lost on Disney. It also shows that Vader was not just evil all the time. Don't get me wrong. He had fallen to darkness, but there was a glimmer of Anakin left. He still was human. I think it's something unique about him that goes back to the Clone Wars: He was a Jedi that was fast tracked into self learning military command and strategy. So soldiers and officers that earned his respect, wee exceptions. I think Vader values merit.

@starwarsreadingclub. What if after mustafar instead of becoming a Sith Ankin used his mechanical knowledge to become an engineering or robotics instructor?

Legends canon is better than the actual canon

3:12 Nanda was the OG black female officer in the Empire and better developed than "Dicksney" Canon's simpy Cienna Ree, or that other black female officer combined.

so, it would seem that there was respect for officers that did a good job rather than those that advanced through the manipulation and work of others, hmmm. interesting.

Is Ensign Nanda OK, mentally speaking

See. It wasn't that hard to get along with Vader

The EU is so much better when dealing with Vader.
