      Think the clone wars series shows this, Anakin actually cared about the lives of his 501st,thats why they loved him. The jedi who were meant to cherish all life were 99% terrible commanders who saw the clones as nothing more than droids to be thrown away. The deeper you get into the lore you can see why the jedi fell. The were self absorbed and ignorant which completely contradicted their 'jedi code'. Look for the you tube series called Star Wars I.M.P.S and it will completely change the way you see the stormtroopers.

    it's such a gentle, humanizing moment. secretly wishing someone to start a connection with him, but knowing he can't simply come out and say "today is my birthday" because then people would disingenuously fall over themselves to celebrate. instead, with this small token from a unidentified stormtrooper probably leads him to think "they... already know? they know it's my birthday, but they never bring it up. they don't want to make a big deal of it... maybe to respect the hierarchy? maybe because i never made a point of it, they assume i don't care about my birthday... what if... what if they care about me? what if they truly respect me? i should show them some kindness in return for this. the galaxy could do with a little more kindness." and that could have been one of a thousand lynchpins that set off his turning on his master in protection of his son. the idea that even the men he sends to their deaths care about him, maybe there is still hope left, after all.

    Its fun to see that Darth Vader of all people, had a very casual side to him that he simply kept hidden from everybody, and that Vader was truly contemplating how he would break the news to Luke that he was his father. Whenever he is seen on screen or panel, Vader always maintains a strict, controlled composure and it seems that his mind is only on empire business; as though he is a robot programmed for domination. Knowing that Vader really is human underneath his figurative & literal masks and wants to connect with people is actually touching.

      There's still something approaching empathy in Vader in past comics (no longer canon in almost all cases). He's in constant agony and irritated by his suit's life support making useless chirps and racket just to keep him awake and piss him off doesn't help but he *DOES* show compassion to people who show loyalty and courage.

    I like it, its twisted in its own way. could you imagine Palpatine actually remembering his birthday and what he would do to "celebrate" it? I'd like to think he'd consider Vaders birthday, the day Anakin burned on Mustafar and would of course mock him with a molten lava cake, which Vader can't eat because of his suit

    It makes sense for the stormtroopers to feel that way and think about helping him. They were passionate about fighting for the Empire and were in the end just regular people who also thought that they were on the right side and had a family and everything to fight and care for. Vader was a legend and so of course they'd feel bad for their leader, because in their eyes the man is a decisive warrior who's many times together with them at the front lines and cleaning buildings and taking over whole enemy ships. I'd feel some type of way too if I find out my leader who's always so intimidating, strong, powerful and legendary is actually alone and struggling.

    I just want Vader to have a beer with these guys. AT LEAST A FRIENDS OR TWO. Cause it is Vader they would have to die tragically… but anyway. I could imagine the conversation:
    Bob: “so your son is Skywalker?”
    Vader: “mmhm.”
    Kjazhed:”how would you tell him?”
    Vader: “yo. The empire is petty chill. Perhaps you’d join it or something. PS I am your father.”
    “…”
    Bob: “you should be just straightforward with him man.”

    I loved this comic ever sense I was made aware of it a few weeks ago on UA-cam; something we rarely see in most Star Wars media is the human side of Stormtroopers, and what better way to showcase that than two Stormtroopers learning information about the same man who killed countless of their comrades out of spite that will undoubtedly get them killed, and showing sympathy to that man and even wishing him a happy birthday.
    it's also the little moments like this that just makes me so happy and makes the setting feel more alive for me. ^ ^

    I think the Stormtrooper unintentionally just saved a ton of people from being Force Choked for not being able to find the intruder.

    I forget which book it is but Vader is trying to use the darkside of the force to heal himself...starts to feel happiness from the healing...loses control of the dark side of the force and the healing stops. I kinda feel this is how he might have felt after the stormtrooper wished him a happy birthday, a brief hit of happiness and then feeling his power ebb would enhance the loneliness.
