Well, Darth Vader used to murder generals for making fairly small mistakes (in the grander scope anyway). That could hardly have been beneficial for the Empire.
Haha, well I actually agree with you and Silver on this, I’m just trolling you a little bit.
But in the new film, they don’t punish Finn or kill him or anything. Phasma says he didn’t have any problems before so they didn’t discipline him. That’s not a sadistic life and death workplace environment like it seemed to be for officers within Vader’s reach. Seemed like another expedient cop-out to justify a narrative that was fundamentally flawed from the start.
