    He's "The Boss's Son" but if he was a stepchild.

    Every Imperial officer's number one fear.

    Vader was like the founder’s kid in a family business. He could be shuffled around to different formal roles on a whim but everyone should have understood that his recommendations to the boss carry a lot more weight than theirs. Also, he can kill anyone who makes him mad with impunity.

    Vader crosses his arms. Accidently turns his life support off.

    Glorified Inquisitor who had a little more sway with the Emperor. There, I said it.

      Also heir to the throne. He was likely the only one besides Tarkin and Thrawn who could replace the Emperor without creating a power vacuum.

    Vader's number one job was giving force throat hugs to people.

    I feel like Vader's position/purpose within the empire was always dependent upon his favor with the emperor at that given moment in time. I vaguely recall in the comics Palpatine placing him under Commander Tagge for a time as punishment for failing to protect the death star. When not otherwise being shamed/demoted/humiliated, it always seemed like the Emperor had Vader serving whatever task best accomplished his grand machinations, titles be damned.

    He was another darth maul. When something needed enforcement, sidious would call on vader to straighten things out. Vader kept fear fresh in people's minds

    Vader's role in the empire was determined by the emperor and as sith master so really vader only had one job

    palpatine tried to mirror vitiates empire which would make Vader "THE EMPEOROR'S WRATH"

    I always thought that Vaders role in the empire was to hunt down both surviving Jedi who had survived order 66 along with anyone who resisted the Empire such as those in the Rebel Alliance and then either turn them to the Empires side or kill them if they refused to do so.

    I always viewed Vader's role as being a sort of minister without portfolio

    Supreme Commander of the Imperial Forces, Sith Apprentice, no matter what name he was given, in the end, Vader was a disposable lackey of the Emperor, who would replace him the minute a more powerful candidate came alomg.

    This is wrong Bail knew Vader was Anakin and during a visit of Vader to his planet he was hiding him from him knowing he was the father.

    • @RetneysHolocron
      @RetneysHolocron  Місяць тому

      You’re thinking of Legends. This information is from canon. In canon, Bail thought Anakin had died on Mustafar, and didn’t know that Vader still lived until years later
