    Since so many of you are asking who the woman Imperial Officer is at 0:06 for “research” purposes, that’s Doctor Aphra.

      +Sniper_Artwork The ending of the video is the last we see of Gregg, as this comic book was discontinued following Disney’s purchase of Star Wars, with all of its plotlines ending right as Vader was picked up by Falco Sang unfortunately

    I was the model for Gregg. Gregg is my middle name. The story for the entire run of Dark Times was written by Randy Stradley. Most of the art was done by Doug Wheatley. They are both friends of mine and I costume as an imperial officer in the 501st legion. We had long talked about the different people that were officers in the empire, especially the early days and one day they told me I was going to be a character in the series. Doug said he had studied my face so much he had probably looked at me more than my mother had. Had the license with LFL continued, Gregg would have returned as a moff years later. Sadly that was not to be. Still I am extremely touched that I made it into a Star Wars comic.

      Vader's reasoning is, if you do your job, and do it well, you get a pat on the back from me. If you fuck up, but own up and fix your mistake, not quite as safe, but still tolerable.
      However, if you fuck up and immediately start to make excuses to Vader or pass the blame to someone else, well, guess who lost their breathing previlege.
      What many forget is that Vader doesn't just choke people that fail him. He only does it to officers that piss him off.
      If you're in his "Inner Circle" of officers he actually likes, like Gregg and Lakauf, as well as possibly Piett and Veers, he is quite more forgiving.

      Kevin Davidson that’s true. This is what makes the light better than the dark. You could be the most powerful being in the galaxy but you can’t trust anyone. To me, this is one of the reasons that make Vader such a tragic character. In the prequels and original trilogies, only the emperor is a dark side user that isn’t left emotionally broken.

      sibtain ali it’s gonna hurt to watch the clone wars again. Anakin at the height and prime of his powers and life. Sure they’re at war, but that war ends up being the good ol’ days for him in comparison to what he gets afterwards. Sure he (Vader) looks like a badass on the battlefield but it’s not the same as when he was Anakin. Constantly spied on, manipulated and humiliated.

      If I had to guess, I'd say Vader would have realized early on what a big mistake he made but probably sucked those feelings back and doubled down on his new path to keep pain and remorse at bay. His past was so dark , it would probably break him if he allowed himself to feel again.

    @gideonhorwitz9434 4 года назад +75

    I believe I have found the perfect set of strategies as a imperial officer or anyone in the empire can take to survive and even thrive working directly for Darth Vader. One thing that ticks Vader off during his time as the emperor’s enforcer was dealing with the arrogance and superiority complexes of the core world officer class under his command. On occasion hey would challenge Vader’s authority and not fully understanding who is actually in charge which has resulted in a number of demotions or most commonly deaths of imperial officers. Strategy # 1 manage your outward appearance and Attitude. When dealing with Vader understand that the conventional imperial hierarchy and chain of command stops at only two people Vader and the Emperor. If either tell you to do something do it no hesitations regardless of your rank or prior orders from you superiors. Do not appear to be overly frightened or uneasy in Vader’s presence but approach the dark lord with a degree of humility and self respect. Vader despises an officer that is either too much of a sycophant or a self obsessed sociopath.
    Another thing Vader despises in an imperial officer is their incompetence failing to carry out the most basic orders. Strategy # 2 when acting under Vader’s orders you must appear or act as competently as possible you’ll save Vader the frustration and yourself a untimely death. In addition to competence be unconventional as well in finding solutions to problems .Vader on a consistent basis has been known to take a affinity to officers that are not bound to convention or protocol taking the initiative it’s that bit of Anakin Skywalker that was still in him.
    Strategy # 3 Determine the mood. As a sith Darth Vader is a very emotionaly rich individual under that armor is a lot of pain ,rage and grief. Vader is 99.7 % likely to execute an officer even for the most minor of offenses when he is in a state of frustration extreme anger and agitation. So before you make your report is advisable to ask around the grape vine about what is the Dark lords mood your very survival could depend upon it. It is also important to determine how urgently you give your report to Vader if the report isn’t as serious as say a battle report or the current state of a pursuits of a rebel sellout pirate faction that perhaps it would be better to wait a few hours until Vader has calmed down to make your report.
    Strategy # 4 know when to quit while your ahead. In Vader’s eyes you are just a tool useful for the moment in a particular task to be put into storage or be discarded whenever he sees fit.When you have the time it’s best to probably talk with your superior officer and try to arrange a future transfer order to another post. When your work for Vader is done inform him of the transfer and ask the dark lord if there is any thing else he would like you do do for him. Two scenarios occur either he lets you go and you will go down as a legend for surviving Darth Vader or you’ve become invaluable to the dark lord he may even take you into his confidence in that case Strategy # 5 never give Vader a reason to doubt you. In times of uncertainty where the dark lord has extreme difficulty in finding his quarry find a way to lead him through that oblivion.

      Vader didn’t mind people who where honest, hard working and not slimy like most imperial high ups. If you where all of those and not a normal stormtrooper, he was actually quite generous and somewhat kind (compared to how he was with others) to you.

He said don’t worry son it will be over soon. Then I saw he was a General! I apologized immediately. He said get my some coffee and we can forget about it. I ran to the mess tent and made a fresh pot.
