Vader probably relished a chance to cut loose on some Rebel scum.But he casually walks in and looks around at the dead troops like it’s just another day at the office. I see what you mean but the whole thing feels like the obligatory lightsaber moment. It’s trying too hard to be badass seconds after a sombre ending.
How much time has passed between the end of R1 and the beginning of Star Wars? Hours? Days? Vader could also be looking to see if there’s anyone important lying among the cannon fodder.
