It is for this reason that he showed no desire to restore the bond he once shared with his former apprentice and friend Ahsoka Tano, as she is a living memory of everything he once was, and in his own twisted way, he became angry at her for leaving him and the Jedi Order, something he perceived later on as a form of betrayal. As a result, he detests anything that reminds him of his former-self, which he deems to be weak. Vader is determined to never talk about his old life, wanting to distance himself from his painful past as best as possible. His feelings of guilt are so much that he develops a deep self-loathing and even nearly commits suicide at one point. However, he actually secretly feels enormous shame and remorse for his actions, whether he wants to admit it or not. One reason Vader became popular with the troops that served under him is his willingness to fight in the front line, and not expect of anyone anything he was not willing to do himself.Īs Supreme Commander within the ranks of the Imperial Army of the Galactic Empire, Vader is renowned for his leadership skills and admired by clones, middle/low-ranking officers, Sith, and politicians alike.ĭespite what Vader's actions causes upon both himself and the galaxy, he apparently believes he is doing what is good for the galaxy, claiming not to feel regret. Many higher-ranking officers came to despise the Sith Lord and his "sorcerer's ways" for no clear reason.ĭespite Vader's negative relationship with some higher-ranking officers in the military, he does get along reasonably well with the Stormtroopers because of his front line leadership.
Vader telekinetically strangled Admiral Kendal Ozzel and Captain Lorth Needa for their incompetence. He has little if any tolerance for incompetence or for those who disrespect him for no clear reason, nearly choking Admiral Conan Antonio Motti to death when he disrespected Vader and challenged his powers of the Force. He also does not get along well at all with naval officers in the Imperial military. Despite this, he is able to tolerate failure from his troops to a certain extent, although he becomes known for frequently killing his own men for even the slightest mistake. He rarely loses his temper and usually has good control over his emotions (something he was not able to do in his youth), but he has an extremely low tolerance for failure and any form of betrayal. Vader remains an impatient man, albeit to a far less extent, but generally presents himself as calm and level-headed. Although he eventually regained confidence in himself, it never came to the point of being outwardly arrogant or cocky. However, after his defeat and mutilation on Mustafar at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi, he is no longer as arrogant and overconfident as he previously was. Vader is now terrifying, driven by rage, and his overconfidence has been further greatly amplified to the point of arrogance. Vader became emotionally traumatized by the experience of the events on Mustafar. Unlike most members of the Sith Order, Vader is not only capable of acknowledging his mistakes, but learning from them as well. After Anakin Skywalker finally embraced his inner darkness, the persona of Anakin ceased to exist, as the Darth Vader persona overtook him almost completely.
