Vader, like Anakin, despises incompetence. A lot of the military officers in the empire were chosen for political reasons - they were the children of aristocratic families that Palpatine rewarded for loyalty with wealth and privileged commands. The actual competent officers Vader got along well with, such as Veers.
When the CEO walked into the meeting room where I was having a meeting with my boss, I immediately knelt and said "It's an honour to kneel in your presence, sir". He said "Carry on, worker. The company needs more men like you. Whoever you are. Hurry along, manager." And that was my one and only glimpse of the CEO in my company.
The way he describes Palpatine makes me believe that he's force sensitive. He may not be good at seeing the attacks with the drones he fought with. But he certainly seems to possess an extrasensory gift. That, or Palpatine radiates so much energy that even non sensitives can feel it
Probably palpatine radiating energy which the trooper became accustomed to by being around Vader. Energy imprint. In real life woman in particular but also men can feel the presence of another before they even enter a room.

@@NarasimhaDiyasena is this something like you can feel someone's presence behind the closed door or wall even if there is no sound or movement that could be heard?
I do find it a bit intriguing that Vader tells Kreel to *respect and be worthy* of the Jedi Lightsaber, implying he should live up to and surpass the Jedi it belonged to. Considering how much Vader hated the Jedi, its almost indirect respect.
I think Kreel reminded him of many of the younger jedi who looked up to Vader and respected the troopers as much as he did. So in a way I think it's mixture of wanting to atone for killing off that younger generation and to rebuild a new group who are loyal, intelligent, and capable, which Kreel certainly is. It's why I dislike the inquistors as a whole. They aren't capable like the Imperial Knights in Legends were, nor as good as the Hands who served the Emperor in legends as well.
Vader gave chances to anyone who freely admitted they screwed up and wanted to learn from it, no excuses. Needa was an exception because he had failed before and lost that chance, but he was also a Naval officer, of which branch Vader despised rather heavily except for Thrawn.
@normknapp4404 I believe in a comic we see an interaction between palpatine and Vader where palpatine says “kill as my officers as u want except thrawn “
That part of the book is insane. The entire tracking of Sidious from the works, picking up clues all the way through the abandoned tunnels to the very center of Coruscant felt like something out of a serial killer movie.
Real troopers were rare I'm star wars. Most were in it for money, power or glory if it want for some personal gain. But kreel was in it for the cause. Peace and order. Good or bad you got to respect that
Kreel was a soldier who believed in his cause. He revered the emperor, not because it was Palpatine. But because of what he believed the empire to represent. Does he follow evil and sadistic sith lords who want power? Yes. Does he know what they are? Irrelevant. Would he continue to follow as a loyal stormtrooper if he knew what they were? Yes. His loyalty is to the empire and the ideal it represents. Not to individuals. The Empire is not Palpatine or Vader. It is people like Kreel.

So are we all just going to ignore the fact that this is the third time (yes, the third time) old boy here has uploaded this video? He posted this video four years ago on March 21, 2020, and it even has the same length with no edits. There's a shorter version of the video with the same voiceover and clips from five years ago on December 10, 2018. I always did doubletakes when I watched this stuff thinking that I saw it somewhere before, but this is the first time I've literally found the same video on this channel three times.
Jedi Master Sahdett “Have you seen him? The Emperor? Outwardly he looks withered…ancient. That was our mistake…inside, he is coiled fury…limitless rage. Like fire and lightning…a crushing ocean of hate. No one can withstand him …or stand up to him. But we learned that too late.”
While it's not an uncommon trope, I do appreciate characters like Kreel that you can tell hold their beliefs and loyalty firmly. I'm sure Vader felt at least a little respect for him when he promised kill his men and himself should he fail again
Imperials like Kreel are the kinds of characters I want to see more of in shows. I though Crosshair would finally be a good *loyal* Imperial, but even he is going back to being a good guy, which is as disappointing as it was predictable. We need more stories about real loyal Imperials. Especially stories from their points of view.
*Yes!* The average men serving the Empire who simply believe it's a just form of government, unaware of the attrocities it's responsible for. It'd show that while the Empire itself is evil prior to the rise of the Fel Empire, those serving it are not necessarily so. Like how Kyle Katarn was a decorated Stormtrooper before learning the Empire killed his father.
"Three protocol droids" ...those are training remotes. Protocol droids don't shoot things. Well, they don't shoot things unless they're named "C-3PX", anyway.
Perhaps that's what it feels like when you're near the emperor. He's so strong with the force that even someone who isn't force sensitive can feel his power.
Palpatine exudes this aura of power to the point where he has to actively hide it from people. It’s no wonder that he’s able to create such a fanatic cult like the Final Order in Rise of Skywalker, he is supernaturally charismatic
i don't think that palatine showed disrespect in his comment. it's just an acknowledgement that he doesn't know who he is. and kreel is far from being a nobody if he got personal training from VADER himself
"My lord, if i fail you, i will personally slay every member of my squadron." "..." "And not just the men, but the women, and the children too!" "You... will what?"

"Living lightning" really does feel like an apt description of Palpatine and his presence, even disregarding his status as a Sith Lord. As a politician, he really did manage to electrify people. He gave rousing speeches, managed to turn the entire Republic to war, and then into an Empire, his words being cheered on the entire time. He knows how to use charisma as a weapon, and can really turn around so many situations to his advantage just by applying some manipulation. In both the Disney and Legends canons, even death is more of a setback than the final defeat it ought to have been. In some ways, he's almost a force of nature, striking as he pleases to devastating effect. It's a very poetic way to view the man, but it feels appropriate - especially coming from someone who's ultimately just a lowly cog in the Imperial machine, and ultimately at the mercy of whatever Palpatine's whims might be.
He said "felt like living lightning". Palpatine was capable of Force Lightning. It stands to question, was Creel force sensitive? If Vader had heard that line, he would have realized it. Given he would have either killed him because he was F.S. , or used him as a tool as Sith usually do.
Bet his Force sensitivity was a tad bit higher than you average Joe. Probably why he was attracted to the saber and he could feel the power eminating from Palps.
I've always felt that being in Vaders presence makes you feel 10 pounds heavier, and being in Sidious' presence makes you feel like your life and energy are being drained away
Didn’t the ENTIRE GALAXY see Palpatine’s face when he said the Jedi Scarred and Deformed him in his public speech about declaring himself Emperor of the galaxy? That was kind of an important speech, I don’t think there would have been much of the galaxy that didn’t watch that.
I think Vader was subtly testing Kreel when he said "You'll never be Sith". If Kreel became angry over this berating then he had the potential to tap into the dark side, but he kept his composure. When he said "Im a trooper to the core" he was telling Vader all he needed to know without even realizing it.
Have you ever been in a room with a true leader? An "Alpha" as they say these days? The kind of person who needs no majordomo to announce him, because every eye in the room gets drawn to them as soon as they enter? The kind of person who never bangs their glass at gatherings, because he can silence a rowdy table simply by standing up from his chair? The kind of person whom people follow not because he points at the horizon and yells "Follow me!", but merely because he calmly walks off in that direction? I imagine meeting Palpatine must have been like meeting such a person. Only amplified by a thousand times.
Imagine not knowing the difference between a protocol droid and a training remote. Did an AI write this or something? Because that's the kind of mistake I'd expect ChatGPT to make, not someone who's a Star Wars fan.
SCAR squadron was really cool, i have the comics that these guys are from and i wish they made more about these guys (SCAR squadron is from the star wars 2015 comic series)
I have a feeling that stormtrooper had a slightly higher than average Midichlorian count and could sense Palpatine's power, and was awestruck by it without knowing what it was.
After Vader finishes saying Kreel will never be Sith. Kreel starts doing the Vader choke pose from Ted 2 and his boys come out saying "let it go man come on".
It could be interpreted as palpatine saying, The Empire needs more troops like you, who ever you may be or are from. Thats how the Sergeant took it atleast. No Aliens though! Send them to the airlock. Ahahahahahaha 🍻
I wish Disney could could make even half as good stories & characters like this with their TV shows & movies. It still blows my mind how bad they keep failing with even a simple story when they litterly have like hundreds & hundreds of books & source materials that are already done for them just sitting there collecting dust.
The writer of that comic is saying Palpatine is God. That is the way many who have seen God describe Him. Many different religions associate lightning with God. God is seen as the Source of Life and Death. The Hebrews put both traits in one entity. Other religions separate them into different gods. I tend to associate Palpatine with Shiva or Kali. (Interesting that his name is Sheev.) It is also the lethal power of the Ark of the Covenant. Imagine going through life and meeting someone like that.

The kind of person who never bangs their glass at gatherings, because he can silence a rowdy table simply by standing up from his chair? The kind of person whom people follow not because he points at the horizon and yells "Follow me!", but merely because he calmly walks off in that direction? I imagine meeting Palpatine must have been like meeting such a person. Only amplified by a thousand times.
Imagine not knowing the difference between a protocol droid and a training remote. Did an AI write this or something? Because that's the kind of mistake I'd expect ChatGPT to make, not someone who's a Star Wars fan.
Its possible Palpatine can manipulate the force to create an aura that strikes fear into anyone who meets him as a deterrent
5:06 stormtrooper, stormtrooper, stormtrooper, bah bah bah.
Palpatine: Do not look at me!
Me: You look fine to me. It does not matter to me if you are scared. I got scars too. Nothing to worry about.
I think palpatine uses lightning so much that he actually exudes it on a primal level, that other beings can sense
Well he is an old man wearing a black Cape with yellow glowing eyes. And with a voice like that, I'd be scared too.
Ah yes, Imperial Task Force 99, named after Clone Force 99, the Empire’s own Bad Batch. Kreel was its leader.
lately the books and comics are lightyears(pun intended)better than most of the cinematic crap that’s coming out 😤
The Stormtrooper that accidentally saw another Stormtrooper that accidentally saw Darth Vader who accidentally saw Palpatine's face who didn't care.
this is basically what Vader meant when he said "The emperor is not as forgiving as I am"
SCAR squadron was really cool, i have the comics that these guys are from and i wish they made more about these guys (SCAR squadron is from the star wars 2015 comic series)
Did you just call those training remotes, “protocol droids”?..
3:21 the Empire being good guys
Well since we see him using a lightsaber he could be force sensitive and feel his force and actual presence like lightning.
custom characters in lego star wars be like
I have a feeling that stormtrooper had a slightly higher than average Midichlorian count and could sense Palpatine's power, and was awestruck by it without knowing what it was.
"I'm a stormtrooper to the core"
"Ahhh, therefore you want to use a saber because you're can't shoot. Very well then, carry on".
Thanks to you, we all now know about the legendary sergeant kuuil
I'm pretty sure that trooper was force-sensitive. The "living lightning" was sensing Palpatine's propensity towards force lighting as a weapon.
lol those are definitely not protocol droids 😂
After Vader finishes saying Kreel will never be Sith. Kreel starts doing the Vader choke pose from Ted 2 and his boys come out saying "let it go man come on".
It could be interpreted as palpatine saying, The Empire needs more troops like you, who ever you may be or are from. Thats how the Sergeant took it atleast. No Aliens though! Send them to the airlock. Ahahahahahaha 🍻
A living thunderbolt, quite literally considering *The Emperor* has force lightning.
Sounds like Cloud and Sephiroth.
At 0:32 "We see that three protocol droids were standing by set to maximum". Not "protocol droids" those were training remotes
A bolt of living lightening: the epitome of power
I wish Disney could could make even half as good stories & characters like this with their TV shows & movies.
It still blows my mind how bad they keep failing with even a simple story when they litterly have like hundreds & hundreds of books & source materials that are already done for them just sitting there collecting dust.
"living lightning" is a clear reference to his force lightning. Not sure how the sergeant felt it.
The writer of that comic is saying Palpatine is God. That is the way many who have seen God describe Him. Many different religions associate lightning with God. God is seen as the Source of Life and Death. The Hebrews put both traits in one entity. Other religions separate them into different gods. I tend to associate Palpatine with Shiva or Kali. (Interesting that his name is Sheev.) It is also the lethal power of the Ark of the Covenant.
Imagine going through life and meeting someone like that.
Dude i love kreel. Hes just so cool to me.
