I mean, if you were a high-ranking officer in a strict authoritarian regime and some spook in a crazy costume and mask implied to have magical powers with no stated rank was just pacing around your meeting with even higher-ranked officers, fucking with him would probably be a bad idea. Even if his powers aren't real, someone higher on the totem pole than you thinks they are.
It's a "Vader starts ranting about space magic while you're trying to work" episode
quadruple autism
>what power does a gun have compared to the hand of the person who wields it?
i challenge you to a duel. you have a choice between your fist and a pistol.
>Hey Smitty, you hear about what Vader did in the war council? He choked some staff officer half to death with some kind of mindpower from like 6 feet away and the poor guy shit his pants in the process. Had to sanitize the entire room.
great. palpatine doesn't exist in episode 4.
sigh
The point is that the force is some kind of analog of destiny
In this case if it's a duel of man with pistol versus unarmed man favored by the force, the force will arrange the universe so that the pistol shot misses and an anvil falls on his head
I get why the Stormtroopers accompany Vader, they probably respect how he slaps the officers around.
Impressive get and post
You only know the force wins because you've seen the end of the movie.
