Gregg is clearly the best Imperial Officer of all time; he managed to become friends with Vader, a near impossible task given what we see in the movies.
There have been a few, VERY few but still multiple people who have been "Friends" with Vader, one officer straight even said to his grandson Vader was his friend and told him about the missions they went on together.
@Steven Turner When you put it that way, Palpatine was clearly drunk dialling people. How has it taken us all so long to realize he was an alcoholic? XD
I was the model for Gregg. Gregg is my middle name. The story for the entire run of Dark Times was written by Randy Stradley. Most of the art was done by Doug Wheatley. They are both friends of mine and I costume as an imperial officer in the 501st legion. We had long talked about the different people that were officers in the empire, especially the early days and one day they told me I was going to be a character in the series. Doug said he had studied my face so much he had probably looked at me more than my mother had. Had the license with LFL continued, Gregg would have returned as a moff years later. Sadly that was not to be. Still I am extremely touched that I made it into a Star Wars comic.
Officer: What is thy bidding my Emperor? Palpatine:I need you to rush to the nearest Taco Bell, they are only open until 3am, I need a Chicken Quesadilla Combo

"Holy fuck, I'm being visited by a ghost! You'll make me see my past, my present or my future?" "... I need to use a force mask and stop using this stupid hood -_-"
sibtain ali especially since the man you’ve turned to is now deceptive and treating you like shit. Kinda sucks to read these comics at times, because you see that this happens from pretty much day one up until the day he dies almost.
Kevin Davidson that’s true. This is what makes the light better than the dark. You could be the most powerful being in the galaxy but you can’t trust anyone. To me, this is one of the reasons that make Vader such a tragic character. In the prequels and original trilogies, only the emperor is a dark side user that isn’t left emotionally broken.
sibtain ali it’s gonna hurt to watch the clone wars again. Anakin at the height and prime of his powers and life. Sure they’re at war, but that war ends up being the good ol’ days for him in comparison to what he gets afterwards. Sure he (Vader) looks like a badass on the battlefield but it’s not the same as when he was Anakin. Constantly spied on, manipulated and humiliated.
To be fair, at least it is expected. A master is to train someone to surpass himself, and an apprentice is to plot to take the master's place, as such they are constantly at odds with each other.
If I had to guess, I'd say Vader would have realized early on what a big mistake he made but probably sucked those feelings back and doubled down on his new path to keep pain and remorse at bay. His past was so dark , it would probably break him if he allowed himself to feel again.
The Jedi Vader was searching for was Obi-Wan. After being put in his suit Vader, spent a long time tracking down any leads on jedi hoping to have a rematch with Obi-Wan and enact his revenge.
Zeta Plus C1 He lived to see their sweet entrails splatter across the ground, to Vader it was ecstacy! Pure Methylenedioxymethamphetamine! To Vader no other drug would ever be enough!
I believe I have found the perfect set of strategies as a imperial officer or anyone in the empire can take to survive and even thrive working directly for Darth Vader. One thing that ticks Vader off during his time as the emperor’s enforcer was dealing with the arrogance and superiority complexes of the core world officer class under his command. On occasion hey would challenge Vader’s authority and not fully understanding who is actually in charge which has resulted in a number of demotions or most commonly deaths of imperial officers. Strategy # 1 manage your outward appearance and Attitude. When dealing with Vader understand that the conventional imperial hierarchy and chain of command stops at only two people Vader and the Emperor. If either tell you to do something do it no hesitations regardless of your rank or prior orders from you superiors. Do not appear to be overly frightened or uneasy in Vader’s presence but approach the dark lord with a degree of humility and self respect. Vader despises an officer that is either too much of a sycophant or a self obsessed sociopath. Another thing Vader despises in an imperial officer is their incompetence failing to carry out the most basic orders. Strategy # 2 when acting under Vader’s orders you must appear or act as competently as possible you’ll save Vader the frustration and yourself a untimely death. In addition to competence be unconventional as well in finding solutions to problems .Vader on a consistent basis has been known to take a affinity to officers that are not bound to convention or protocol taking the initiative it’s that bit of Anakin Skywalker that was still in him. Strategy # 3 Determine the mood. As a sith Darth Vader is a very emotionaly rich individual under that armor is a lot of pain ,rage and grief. Vader is 99.7 % likely to execute an officer even for the most minor of offenses when he is in a state of frustration extreme anger and agitation. So before you make your report is advisable to ask around the grape vine about what is the Dark lords mood your very survival could depend upon it. It is also important to determine how urgently you give your report to Vader if the report isn’t as serious as say a battle report or the current state of a pursuits of a rebel sellout pirate faction that perhaps it would be better to wait a few hours until Vader has calmed down to make your report. Strategy # 4 know when to quit while your ahead. In Vader’s eyes you are just a tool useful for the moment in a particular task to be put into storage or be discarded whenever he sees fit.When you have the time it’s best to probably talk with your superior officer and try to arrange a future transfer order to another post. When your work for Vader is done inform him of the transfer and ask the dark lord if there is any thing else he would like you do do for him. Two scenarios occur either he lets you go and you will go down as a legend for surviving Darth Vader or you’ve become invaluable to the dark lord he may even take you into his confidence in that case Strategy # 5 never give Vader a reason to doubt you. In times of uncertainty where the dark lord has extreme difficulty in finding his quarry find a way to lead him through that oblivion.
How to survive Vader: If he is near you, *do not interact and leave it to someone else* If you are interacting with him, be a good servant, because the bad ones find out how it feels to be a rebel
That would be totally epic with a group of imperial soldiers, navy personnel and TIE pilots protecting the galaxy from rebel terrorism A-Team style. Lord Vader
The empire surprisingly did it's job well. The horrible conditions were more so the first few years after palpatine took over getting everything back online and working again.
With all these actual serious/loyal/effective Imperial officers or soldiers we see sometimes in the comics, imagine if Vader had formed a whole squad regrouping all of them.
If he did that, there wouldn't be a imperial fleet, there would be an imperial group, a star destroyer, and a couple of cruisers, as well as about 20 smaller ships. This group would be feared though, and the rebels would have been no more.
I suggest the title be renamed "That time when an Imperial Officer thought he was recieving a booty call but the hologram display showed the Dark Emperor, wat u do?"
The thumbnail looks like him getting a call from the emperor but then he's like: ... What now? And Palpatine face is just: Dude I just got the best idea ever to troll vader
Aphra is awesome. One of the only people in the galaxy to get one over on Vader in his prime. And she did it without force powers. Plus her stories are just fun to read.
Emperor : And one more thing, Lieutenant Gregg... Lieutenant Gregg : Yes, your Highness? Emperor : Put some SAND in Lord Vader's healing tank... Lieutenant Gregg : … Emperor : Do it. It's coarse, rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere...
4AM imperial officer finds out the hard way Palpatine is a Booty Bandit and despite a valiant chase and resistance, the poor officer's cheeks were throughly and completely busted on the holonet for all to see.
I find this channel to be hilarious. This man has literally made an entire pantheon worth of videos talking about the insignificant events in star wars history.
I think he would have if it wasnt for the fact that the man has a Favored by him and that he brought news of a jedi it would be counter productive, but if it was pretty much anyone else he would have died
Vader didn’t mind people who where honest, hard working and not slimy like most imperial high ups. If you where all of those and not a normal stormtrooper, he was actually quite generous and somewhat kind (compared to how he was with others) to you.
I was doing field training and had the watch one nite, a older soldier walked up ( could not see his rank) and ask how it was going? I said cold and shitty! He said don’t worry son it will be over soon. Then I saw he was a General! I apologized immediately. He said get my some coffee and we can forget about it. I ran to the mess tent and made a fresh pot.
I think it's pretty cool that Palpatine spent five minutes before the call looking up the time zone difference to ensure he was making a business call within office hours for Gregg. Show me a boss who cares that much.
I love how nonchalant this is Like yeah I received a Skype from the president of the United States at 2 AM while filling out assasanation orders no biggie...hbu
I mean he doesn't see the jedi as a threat. more like ants. They could hide and die for all he could care. Vader spending resources on something that didn't matter was a waste. Any mishap that happened on his behalf would be hilarious to watch
I like how quickly you move your narrative along, allowing the images to fill in the details. You really cut to the Chase and make for a Brisk and exciting viewing experience. Awesome background music.

I believe I have found the perfect set of strategies as a imperial officer or anyone in the empire can take to survive and even thrive working directly for Darth Vader. One thing that ticks Vader off during his time as the emperor’s enforcer was dealing with the arrogance and superiority complexes of the core world officer class under his command. On occasion hey would challenge Vader’s authority and not fully understanding who is actually in charge which has resulted in a number of demotions or most commonly deaths of imperial officers. Strategy # 1 manage your outward appearance and Attitude. When dealing with Vader understand that the conventional imperial hierarchy and chain of command stops at only two people Vader and the Emperor. If either tell you to do something do it no hesitations regardless of your rank or prior orders from you superiors. Do not appear to be overly frightened or uneasy in Vader’s presence but approach the dark lord with a degree of humility and self respect. Vader despises an officer that is either too much of a sycophant or a self obsessed sociopath.
Another thing Vader despises in an imperial officer is their incompetence failing to carry out the most basic orders. Strategy # 2 when acting under Vader’s orders you must appear or act as competently as possible you’ll save Vader the frustration and yourself a untimely death. In addition to competence be unconventional as well in finding solutions to problems .Vader on a consistent basis has been known to take a affinity to officers that are not bound to convention or protocol taking the initiative it’s that bit of Anakin Skywalker that was still in him.
Strategy # 3 Determine the mood. As a sith Darth Vader is a very emotionaly rich individual under that armor is a lot of pain ,rage and grief. Vader is 99.7 % likely to execute an officer even for the most minor of offenses when he is in a state of frustration extreme anger and agitation. So before you make your report is advisable to ask around the grape vine about what is the Dark lords mood your very survival could depend upon it. It is also important to determine how urgently you give your report to Vader if the report isn’t as serious as say a battle report or the current state of a pursuits of a rebel sellout pirate faction that perhaps it would be better to wait a few hours until Vader has calmed down to make your report.
Strategy # 4 know when to quit while your ahead. In Vader’s eyes you are just a tool useful for the moment in a particular task to be put into storage or be discarded whenever he sees fit.When you have the time it’s best to probably talk with your superior officer and try to arrange a future transfer order to another post. When your work for Vader is done inform him of the transfer and ask the dark lord if there is any thing else he would like you do do for him. Two scenarios occur either he lets you go and you will go down as a legend for surviving Darth Vader or you’ve become invaluable to the dark lord he may even take you into his confidence in that case Strategy # 5 never give Vader a reason to doubt you.

You have a collect call from - [Vader's voice and breathing] Darth Vader.

Space Taco Bell? That's disgusting! Go for some Space Taco Bueno!
Naboo was KFC during the Episode 1 promo. Col. Sanders was a Jedi taco Bell was Vader's home world, Pizza hut got corosuant.
Space Del Taco
Who is Sober Enough to take me to Space Tacooo Bellll?!
7:39 "Vader jumped to high ground,"
He learned from his past mistakes.
0:09 - Oh hey there. I guess i will join the Empire now.
Hot chicks in imperial uniforms??? Oh hell yeah!!!!
Long live the empire!!!!
@@rejvaik00 very rare. Seems like the rebels have hotter women
@@DayZeroChannel rebels have more aliens. I think the empire is racist to aliens
@@iamsearchingforthefiletmignon it's called xenophobic you can't be racist by hating a different species
Yeah Empire petty chill
I love this guy, competent imperials are always fun to read.
We need an entire show dedicated to an elite Stormtrooper squad. Not Deathtroopers, just normal bucket head soldiers.
That would be totally epic with a group of imperial soldiers, navy personnel and TIE pilots protecting the galaxy from rebel terrorism A-Team style. Lord Vader
@@holden_7597 hmm
The empire surprisingly did it's job well. The horrible conditions were more so the first few years after palpatine took over getting everything back online and working again.

Greg: "He -hel-hello"

I just got you to 501.
You are now hereby in the 501st, by the command of an Imperial Grand Muff.
When you enter BATTLEFRONT II and all the good usernames are taken so you make Greg
And only run the imperial officer lol
I'm surprised on how chill Palpatine is with his employees compared to Vader.
In Gregg’s case he’s unique since he had decent interactions with BOTH of them
I love that he seemed to value Gregg not lying, at all, when asked
*Middle of the night*

"Vader Jumped to high ground"
I guess he learned
With all these actual serious/loyal/effective Imperial officers or soldiers we see sometimes in the comics, imagine if Vader had formed a whole squad regrouping all of them.
If he did that, there wouldn't be a imperial fleet, there would be an imperial group, a star destroyer, and a couple of cruisers, as well as about 20 smaller ships. This group would be feared though, and the rebels would have been no more.
@@jamesshaw3500 Especially if he could get Thrawn on his side.
R.I.P rebels
@@TheFacelessStoryMaker Ah so Thrawn and his Battle group and those ships combined. A terrifying combination.
@@TheFacelessStoryMaker yeah, unfortunally, Thrawn hates Vader. A lot.
I suggest the title be renamed
"That time when an Imperial Officer thought he was recieving a booty call but the hologram display showed the Dark Emperor, wat u do?"
Jerk off to it to assert dominance
You get them cheeks busted.
For a second I thought that Palpatine called him at 2AM to play Call of Duty
7:40 Anakin was right, hes a slow learner, he finally learned his old master's greatest technique. The allmighty high ground.
Was this the guy papa palpatine called about what he wanted for lunch
"WHAT!? I'M VERY BUSY RIGHT NOW!!"
@@felipecosta-kv2fx "oh uh...I'll have the turkey club"
Im not even going to eat it
@@echo4449 no! You forgot his coleslaw and his cherry coke!
I'm imagining Palpatine in a meeting and just force grabbing food from across the room lmao
Fun fact: Lt. Gregg’s appearance is based on a RL friend of the artist. He happens to be an avid officer costumer to this day.
He's commented and hearted above on the comments, his face on the profile. Looks perfect
The thumbnail looks like him getting a call from the emperor but then he's like:
... What now?
And Palpatine face is just:
Dude I just got the best idea ever to troll vader
Still cant believe Palpatine sent Gregg a "you up" text
1:49 Can you imagine being the guy who vader compliments in "Excellent work". Like holy shit, that would be kinda awesome.
Indeed.
"Greg......"
"Yes, m'lord?"
"I require.........Burger King...."
This needs more likes
_Whew!!!_ Delivering donuts is Larry the Stormtroopers' job!
Execute order 66.
Wait a second.
I walk to Burger King
Lt Greg was one of the only ones to see vader with no helm and lived afterwards.
"Vader jumped to high ground."
Should've done that on Mustafar.
He tried but he jumped too low and got his legs chopped off
@@patrickvarga7789 and his one remaining organic arm
I’m still up at 2 AM so Palpatine would lobe if I worked for him .
That must be like getting a direct call from your CEO, only to walk in on your district manager in the nude.
Doctor aphra: exists
Rule 34 artists: it's free real estate
Disney: You underestimate my power, heh heh!
Wha-
Thank you good sir, this will be most useful information. For scientific research purposes of course.
Aphra is awesome. One of the only people in the galaxy to get one over on Vader in his prime. And she did it without force powers. Plus her stories are just fun to read.
R34 aphra is quite disappointing, trust me
Emperor : And one more thing, Lieutenant Gregg...
Lieutenant Gregg : Yes, your Highness?
Emperor : Put some SAND in Lord Vader's healing tank...
Lieutenant Gregg : …
Emperor : Do it. It's coarse, rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere...
“... oh...”
“What?”
“It was a ‘Duty’ call. I misheard-it’s fine this is fine.
*When An Imperial Officer Received a 2AM Booty Call From Palpatine [Legends]*
4AM imperial officer finds out the hard way Palpatine is a Booty Bandit and despite a valiant chase and resistance, the poor officer's cheeks were throughly and completely busted on the holonet for all to see.
It's somewhat uncanny to think that in a Galaxy unfathomably far away that there's a man named Greg.
Zach Lloyd comforting. Lol
Or Luke lol
When the emperor hits you with that “you up?” Text
Immortal0Fire when you steal comments.
SniperDude69 when you become a protective boyfriend
SniperDude69 well clearly you do because you keep replying
Did anyone else, genuinely, think the title said "booty call"? Cos I did.
I think that's the exact reason he made the title "duty call"
Oh you know it was 😉
😏😏😏
i first read that and i went "nooooooo nonono, this must be a mistake" then i read it again
You are not wrong
I love how in Legends Vader and Palpatine were constantly scheming against one another. Kinda undercuts his betrayal of Palpatine.
Palps is lucky he didn't called Greg at 4 AM. It would be a veeeeeerrrrryy different conversation they would be having.
I find this channel to be hilarious. This man has literally made an entire pantheon worth of videos talking about the insignificant events in star wars history.
Alarm goes off at 2 A.M.
Palpatine: “Oh Boy, 2 A.M. Imperial Officer”
Imperials are just people too. ;)
And oh wow Vader did not kill him even though he saw his face.
I think he would have if it wasnt for the fact that the man has a Favored by him and that he brought news of a jedi it would be counter productive, but if it was pretty much anyone else he would have died
For all his evil Vader values merit
Vader didn’t mind people who where honest, hard working and not slimy like most imperial high ups. If you where all of those and not a normal stormtrooper, he was actually quite generous and somewhat kind (compared to how he was with others) to you.
@@lewisfell2714 he was pragmatic. If You job well you live longer
Don't forget General Veers from ESB.
"... Vader jumped to high ground..."
You've become the very thing you have sworn to destroy!
This “random Jedi” is a legend, he told Darth Vader, DARTH VADER, to go to hell
"The circle is now complete. When we last left it was night, now it is dawn."
When your on staff duty in the army and the CSgtM talks to you
This would be more like getting a call from the President.
Almost scary religious experience. Especially at 3:30 am on a Saturday
I was doing field training and had the watch one nite, a older soldier walked up ( could not see his rank) and ask how it was going? I said cold and shitty! He said don’t worry son it will be over soon. Then I saw he was a General! I apologized immediately. He said get my some coffee and we can forget about it. I ran to the mess tent and made a fresh pot.
@@hanzotherazor1995 Generals are your friends, its the sergeant you have to fear.
@@jamesshaw3500 even generals want no part of Sergeant Major
"What happened when a second lieutenant of the home reserve of the logistics branch of the Imperial Army ran out of toilet paper"
I think it's pretty cool that Palpatine spent five minutes before the call looking up the time zone difference to ensure he was making a business call within office hours for Gregg.
Show me a boss who cares that much.
" yea uh sorry to call gregg but someone left the death star on and your the only guy i know whos up rn can you head on over and turn it off"
“Lieutenant do you have any shredded cheese because im all out”
I love how nonchalant this is
Like yeah I received a Skype from the president of the United States at 2 AM while filling out assasanation orders no biggie...hbu
gregg is one of the few imperial officers that talked to both palpatine and vader and lived to talk about it
7:20 Vader learned the importance of having the high ground.
God it’s sad that you can still see Anakin under all the scarring.
I love that you showed Jerec fighting Kyle when you mentioned inquisitors.
Andrew Church I took notice to that too. Legends will be my canon
@@ronniegamboa5156 mine too. Long live Legends 💪😎
I bet Palpatine is enjoying all of this.
I mean he doesn't see the jedi as a threat. more like ants. They could hide and die for all he could care. Vader spending resources on something that didn't matter was a waste. Any mishap that happened on his behalf would be hilarious to watch
I like how quickly you move your narrative along, allowing the images to fill in the details. You really cut to the Chase and make for a Brisk and exciting viewing experience. Awesome background music.
2:26 "In other words... Greg became Vader's Jedi dealer." No greater sentence has ever been spoken lmao
