[Star Wars] Vader overhears some off-duty Stormtroopers talking about politicians they’d smash if they had the chance. They call Padme “mid”. Would he react to this at all?

    “I find your lack of taste disturbing.”

    Only he’s not choking the guy’s throat.

    If nobody else has overhead what the’re talking about, he insta-kills them with the Force and just tells Imperial Officials that they were acting in a manner unbecoming of the Empire. Imperial Officials have questions, but accept it and move on.

    If other people overheard, Vader won’t clue them in that “Padme sets Vader off.” He’ll recruit these Stormtroopers for his next high-risk suicide mission where they will meet an untimely end.

    maybe he wouldn’t tell them why but anikin is too emotional and in love with his wife to not react.

    “From my point of view, your mother is mid.”

    He is absolutely killing them.

    He’s probably killing them regardless of what they say about her looks, just bringing her name up in front of Vader is going to put him in an even more murderous mood than his default lol

    Of course he’d kill them.

    But fyi the empire is big many people do things “vader wouldn’t approve of” and get away with it. *cough cough

    In the EU they paint Vader as having more loyalty to clone troopers than officers. Did this carry over to the non-clone stormtroopers?

    Best case the guy is fired for clear incompetence cause Padme ain’t mid.

    There’s a deleted scene where he sees a scantily clad Padme painted on the side of a starship and he nearly kills everyone around him.

    At most he’d kill the officer in charge of the trooper for not enforcing proper discipline within his troops and the get back to crushing the rebelion. But I only really know movie Vader so maybe he liked to kill Stormtroopers in the extended works
