In one of the novels it has Jerjerrod's POV when the Emperor arrives. While he's disappointed the Emperor doesn't praise him for the completion of the second Death Star, he decides that the fact he wasn't punished is reward enough for him lmao.
I feel like Vader actually would be a good boss to work for. It seems like he generally takes an interest in the officers and is very professional towards them. Sure he has high expectations but I feel like he’s fair. The people he killed for failing him did make colossal mistakes but it wasn’t their first mistake probably.
Jerjerrod: I assure you Lord Vader my men are working as fast as they can. Vader: Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them. Random Stormtrooper: (Under Breath) Give us a raise. Give us a raise. Give us a raise. Give us a rai- Darth Vader: I shall throw a pizza party in the mess hall at 14:00 hours. Random Stormtrooper: FUCK!
Darth Vader is right he is actully a forgiving person he can be viewed as tough but fair he forgives his soldiers foe the first time their fail and doesn't punish them if it is out of their control he only punishes them when it's clear they haven't improved where they rightfully should have and he is generally respectful and friendly with them outside of that since he at least takes the time to hear them out.
God, it’s a good cop, bad cop situation, the only difference is that there is no good cop, they’re both bad and this line just proves that neither one of them is genuinely merciful at this point.
That´s my FAVORITE scene of all. The movie is such a masterpiece, especially with the sound effects. Darth Vader and the Emperor talk in a sophisticated, philosophical manner... It´s so, SO GREAT. I can´t get enough of it.
Imagine you line of work involving serving the guy that has slaughtered his own subordinates, regardless of the reason, and wiped out whole civilizations to find and hunt the Jedi and traitors and then he tells you "the emperor is not as forgiving as I", making it clear that he isn't even tbe strongest force in the empire. I'd have shot myself with a blaster. Ain't no way I signed up for that nonsense while sober.
At 1:17 Vader says The emperor is not as forgiving as I am. Like how you forgave the previous Imperial Captain on the Star Destroyer Ship? Force Choking Captain Needa, saying Apology accept Captain Needa. Then after Captain Needa Dies. Then tha nearest Imperial agents pick up the Imperial Captain Corpse.
This scene does a perfect job of conveying just how big of a threat the Emperor is. For most of the scene, Moff Jerjerrod has little issue talking back to Vader when he brings up the lack of progress with the Death Star's construction, but the MOMENT Vader says that the Emperor will be arriving, Jerjerrod immediately folds to Vader's demands. Plus, Vader's claim that the Emperor is not as forgiving as he is makes it clear that, should Jerjerrod fail to get his shit together, he is in for a WORLD of pain. Keep in mind, Vader had no problem choking people to death for failure in the last film, so the fact that he describes the Emperor as even worse than he is, especially when failure is involved, really cements just how bad a guy the Emperor is and keeps us on the edge of our seats.
I miss this empire. They had the on screen presence of intimidating villains and I miss the empire consisting of men. I cant take female stormtroopers seriously.
When middle management tells you that he needs more resources (men) and time both of which are under upper management control. I wonder how many shortcuts he tales to be ready in time.
Really? I say the dialogue is shit, poorly written and executed: 1. This station will be operational as planned. Also, the Emperor asks the impossible and he needs more men. 2. His men are working as fast as they can. Also, the same men will double their efforts.
Moff Jerjerrod was panicking because he's looking Darth Vader, who is a Sith Lord and well-known for force choking his own men on a whim whenever they mess up on something, directly in the face and trying to do anything to not share the same fate as those other guys. And adding onto that, he also finds out from that very same Sith Lord that the Emperor himself was coming to personally inspect the Death Star. And the Emperor was even less reasonable than Vader, putting him even more at wit's end than he was before. So of course his dialogue is going to be contradictory. People tend to crack when they're put under pressure.
@@Bauglir100 I like your explanation. Instead of me assuming he is a competent Imperial officer it's best I think of him as a project manager under pressure but instead of losing his livelihood and reputation he could lose his life. I retract my statement.
