Rex says some of Anakind plans were reckless but worked, and Fives responds saying something like “yeah but general Skywalker is usually leading his men up in the front, not bringing it up in the rear”.

      cr0wboi: It's likely. Except the burns ended Lekoff's career. Upon retiring Vader wouldn't have further contact with him anyways. Palpatine might have not considered it worth having the additional resentment towards himself worth removing a non threat already off the board. Plus Lekoff would be better served given a nice retirement package as a carrot to show how loyalty is rewarded amongst the officer Corp.

      Bo Kvarv Except Palpatine would also figure out that weapon would eventually be pointed at his back.
      The Sith are powered by rage and hatred, and Vader hated himself above all - forcing him to kill not only an innocent man, but an honourable one and his family, would give him that powerful weapon without the risk of Vader betraying him.
      THAT was how the old bastard really operated, which is why it's all the more surprising to me that he survived and lived happily ever after.

      I like that there is a ''and they lived happyli ever after'' story with vader in it. This from now on my favourite Vader moment. I love this story so much. Andi am happy it didn't end up him deying.
      Although I am curious where palpetine was during the whole shuttle fight.
      If he would have seen Vaders reaction when Lecoth got burned. He surely would have taken action and still, forced vader to kill him. Because remember, he has forced Vader to do this kind of horrible stuf very often. I think if palpetine was there. He would have forced vader to kill the man. VADER Would have done it because is trust nad friendship with Lecoth would eventually be overwon by his fear for the Emperor.

      Bat Cena. The next intern brings Vader's Coffee to his meditation chamber. A few minutes later he gets called back in. Vader snaps at him and says 'This isn't Mocha! but the mix up in coffee isn't why I'm mad!' Officer 'Then why are you mad sir!?' Vader rotates the chair and brings up the Big screen behind him showing footage of the Officer in question by the coffee pot. 'You see that shit, you stirred in the sugar and creamer counter clockwise, not clockwise which is a standard with in the Empire, but do you know why all Empire personal have to stir clockwise!?' The Officer gulped 'Uhm...no sir... why!?' Vader slowly turned back towards the Officer and said 'Only a Jedi would stir their coffee counter clockwise!!!' Vader then sprang from his chair and began physically beating the officer. 2 hours later Vader dragged the bloodied corpse of the Officer to the bridge. Officer 2 'Vader what is the meaning of this!?' Vader then used the force to remove the blaster from the second Officer's holster and fired one shot through the head of the badly beaten Officer who lay in a puddle of his own blood on the floor. 'this man was a Jedi Conspirator! he....' Vader glanced back at the the coffee pot and seen six other Officers stirring their coffee counter clockwise 'Dear god they walk amongst us' Vader said and ignited his lightsaber.

    Nice to see that Lord Vader kept some humanity.... even though it’s only Legends...
    I hate how they are adding in new things and trying to make Vader seem so weak..How losing part of his legs and arms diminished his ability to use the Force... so stupid... He was still more man then machine to me...

    Reason why he was so lonely was because he looked like a samurai who you didn't want to mess with... unless you strip away his force abilities. Then he becomes your grandfather's grandpa, with sand in his shoes.

    I like to imagine that Vader insisted Lekauf retire after recovering from those burns; I think that when he saw himself in Lekauf during the accident, he didn't want to potentially rob the man of the one thing he himself wanted most; his family...
    I can't help but think that Vader would get a bit quieter and sadder after that though. I imagine he'd occasionally have bouts of interior monologue like Morgan Freeman from The Shawshank Redemption.
    "I guess I just miss my friend," kind of way...

    Perhaps for at least a few moments, Anakin came out.
    After all, friendship and compassion are emotions stemming from the Light side.

      Well, the moment he saw how Vader reacted to Lekauf being injured by a rogue dark Jedi that Palps made - he was way too scared to do that, as he understood that killing Erf would straight up lead to Vader getting out of Sheev's control and kill Emperor.
