* ForegoneConclusion: Despite the BrokenBase resulting from Vader killing a StalkerWithACrush nurse that confessed to him in his private quarters while he [[DontLookAtMe had his helmet off]], whether it was fine or not, acceptable or not, pretty much everyone knew that given Vader's constant TranquilFury state of mind and loathing of people intruding on him while he is in meditation, the nurse was as good as dead with most people debating Vader's state of mind at the time as opposed to arguing if killing her was in line with Vader's character.

* TheMentallyDisturbed: The nurse, a classic sufferer of de Clerambaut Syndrome, also known as Erotomania, characterised by an obsessive infatuation with a person one barely knows. Sufferers of the disorder often convince themselves that the object of their obsession returns their feelings and little gestures they make are their way of secretly conveying their love to them. However people with de Clerambaaut are often a danger to the target of their infatuation, whom they believe are taunting them by pretending not to have any feelings towards them. Given that the nurse's obsession is Darth Vader, her delusion is more of a danger to her than to him!

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Issue #2 displays the downside of Vader's constant use of YouHaveFailedMe. An Imperial Officer who had just finished wiping out a rebel base, killing or capturing almost every rebel there, losing none of his own men or TIE fighters in the process, and leaving the base intact enough that the Empire would be able to pull valuable data from the computers. A total victory for the Empire. The only slight blemish was that a Rebel spy escaped with some intel on a strategically-important Imperial factory, which wasn't all that valuable on its own because the rebels still did not know where the factory was located, and the intel would not provide the location. Upon learning that Vader was coming to pick up the Rebel spy who had gotten away, Tylux goes to absolutely insane lengths to capture the spy so that Vader won't kill him for his failure. The end result is that he completely destroys his ship and ends up killing a lot of his men in the process. It goes to show that leaving your commanders afraid for their lives if they commit even a single screw-up will lead to them acting out of fear, rather than what makes the most sense tactically.

* LovingAShadow: A nurse who probably isn't all that stable to begin with becomes infatuated with Vader and starts to fantasize about him and her getting together. Everything she believes about him is nothing more than fantasy based on what she believes him to be. Interestingly, she is right about some important things about him but at the same time becomes so delusional that she can't separate reality from fantasy. When she finally confesses her feelings to him, he promptly kills her and calls for her body to be taken away. Interestingly, Vader kills her quickly with a simple stab with his lightsaber. His expression was one of indifference with perhaps a twinge of sadness. She probably reminded Vader of some unpleasant things and he probably felt that she just wasn't worth his rage but only pity.
* MercyKill: How Vader killed the StalkerWithACrush nurse when she intruded on him in his quarters unmasked and confessed her love for him. It's a mercy kill because he did it quickly and and painlessly with a quick stab through the chest. Keep in mind that Vader has killed people in horrible and painful ways for less. When two stormtroopers saw him accidentally without the helmet, he telekineticaly lifted them and then twisted their heads around backwards and that was just for accidentally seeing him without the helmet. Here, the Nurse intruded on him while in meditation without his helmet and then confessed to loving him. The look on his face when he does it is one of indifference or perhaps melancholy. It's reasonable to assume that the nurse reminded him of things he doesn't like to think about and he could also most likely sense her mind and emotions with the force, realizing that she was both mentally disturbed and being completely honest. He may have felt a rare moment of pity and simply put her down as opposed to slaughtering her.
