"Startled mostly, a few were frightened, a couple enjoyed it. But I made sure no one got dislodged." There's a casualness to the answer which edged on bored. If he could break a guy's neck by telekinetically throwing him, he could keep people in their seats.

"The kind where as far are hundreds of trillions are concerned, you don't exist as more than a propaganda rumor and that's despite having a few thousand under your command and only answering to the Emperor himself, at least for the past two decades.." It is at least an honest answer - black ops and dirty work were Vader's tasks and he's not used to answering to others, which doesn't make him much of a team player. But then, he's never really been great at sharing plans either. Even in his youth.

"It's also better for you to not know, you realize? If you are captured you can't help them and I am still an unknown factor they can't fully plan for. That protects you and them." Vader barely moved his head back, meaning the people they were getting out. "And if we are forced to split up, they'll focus on me, not you. I can handle myself against them and you can get everyone else out."

There, he used words. Happy now?
