[…] It was implied in TFA that he was a badass, I mean he stopped blaster bolts in mid air and telekinetically froze people and threw them through the air. […]You know, if you think about it, he wasn’t that badass, considering Poe had no problem making fun of him since the very first scene 😄
Good guys always mock the bad guys. Or do you really think Tarkin smelled and kept Vader on a leash? 😉
