* Palpatine once ordered the ship ''Defiance'' to be renamed ''Obedience'' to send a message after the captain tried to plunge it into a sun to kill him and Vader. Cue his bewilderment when the ship goes back in port and the Presfelbelti perform a ''human sacrifice'' to rename the ship while Darth Vader acts as the priest, while cadet Rae Sloane, being a spacer, considers it perfectly normal, at least for Presfbelt (other worlds have different traditions - and most sacrifice an animal when they rename a ship).
** Palpatine's reaction when he realizes that the reason the Separatists' mightiest ships were all destroyed during their first cruise or during construction was that they had an official name in place of the one he and Dooku would have used if they could have gotten away with it... And thus, since people believe it bad luck, [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve the Force actually gave those ships appalling luck]].
--->[[ClusterFBomb PLUTZ! PLUTZ PLUTZ PLUTZ! GRABBAGA PLUTZ! CYYSSA!]] Note to self, never, NEVER mess with ship names unless I give them to someone I want dead. On second thought, better not mess with ship names at all again.

** Why is Ventress even serving as Dooku's bodyguard when he's ''far'' stronger than her? Because he's a ruler and thus is ''supposed'' to have a bodyguard, and Dark Acolytes, having lightsabers and knowing how to use them, are quite the ''status symbol''.


Added DiffLines:

*** The fact the Tarkin family has, as Ventress puts it, [[AmazonChaser a collective fetish for dangerous women]].

* The pre-war segment where [[BodyguardingABadass Ventress serves as Dooku's bodyguard]] in a state visit to Eriadu:
** The encounter with Trench and The General, AKA a Grievous who's keeping his identity and face secret at the moment, where they talk about Sev'rance Tann... And Grievous can't be bothered to keep Tann's gender straight. Ventress suspects he's doing it on purpose.
** Seeing Thalassa Tarkin, Ventress remembers the time a survivor of Q'anah's Marauders tried to murder her... [[MuggingTheMonster And was beaten into submission with the grip of his own blaster while the woman cradled her baby child with the other hand]].
** Ventress mentally comparing Tarkin's SimpleYetOpulent outfit with his wife's PimpedOutDress.
--->The Lady Tarkin, on the other hand, wore a rather complex purple dress-and just the ''dye'' had nearly got her to break character, as someone commented it was "imperial dye" extracted from ''sea snails'' found in a specific small sea of Urthha. Then there were the gold-no, aurodium-jewels, the high heels (a fashion item whose very existence offended Ventress and everything she stood for), the puffy skirt... Honestly, Ventress felt hurt just by ''looking''. Hurt and insulted that a strong woman would be willing to debase herself like that and waste so much money in the process.
** Turns out, Tarkin cheats on his wife out of spite... And the moment he notices she's jealous of Ventress he repeatedly approaches her to drive Thalassa mad.
** At first Ventress wonders why Tarkin seems to hate his wife, whose devotion to him is exceptional... Then she actually ''talks'' to the woman, and realizes he married his own stalker. She then starts wondering why [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident he hasn't got her into an accident yet]], or at least divorced her.
** Ventress' suggestion to Dooku to get Tarkin to defect to the Confederacy of Independent Systems: offer to murder Thalassa and frame one of his political rivals.
*** Dooku tries out Ventress' suggestion... And then it turns out ''it would have worked'' had Tikkes not joined the Separatists openly, as Tarkin doesn't trust anyone who'd have him in an important position. [[MurderIsTheBestSolution Ventress then asks if Tikkes is more useful dead or alive]].
** A month after the Clone Wars started, Ventress and Durge come out of the bacta tank a cyborg put them the previous day... And then she recognizes him as The General, AKA Grievous. Who reveals his name, that he's now the Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies, and that he had to kick their asses to convince Dooku
** Grievous' explanation of what happened to Sev'rance Tann, [[MaliciousMisnaming using two different genders for her in the same phrase]]:
-->'''''"He provoked a Jedi Master who already held a grudge against her, so Dooku decided to see which of us should succeed her."'''''

* Palpatine's reaction to the guy who ordered to [[NoKillLikeOverkill use ion disruptors against enemy personnel and even civilians]] during the Lasat genocide, wasting an insane amount of tibanna gas:
-->"General Jal Jaset... Do you think lord Vader has an ATM on his torso?! The only reason I'm not adding to the Grand Moff's punishment is that I can't think of anything to make it more humiliating! [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment You're now an accountant at the Fondor shipyards]], now go!"

* Palpatine's reaction [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Tarkin's reaction]] to the guy who ordered to [[NoKillLikeOverkill use ion disruptors against enemy personnel and even civilians]] during the Lasat genocide, wasting an insane amount of tibanna gas:
-->"General --> "You ordered to use anti-materiel weapons on [[SuddenlyShouting EVERYTHING]]! "Not just barricades or vehicles, but enemy soldiers, civilians, ELDERS AND CHILDREN! You are torturing to death the entire population of a whole planet, and on top of that for the price of the tibanna you are burning one could build a whole flotilla of ''Consular'' diplomatic cruisers from the ground up, fully equip them to house Senator Orn Free Taa and his entire entourage for a year each, and then convert them into fully-equipped and fueled ''Chargers''! You little Tapani warrior wannabe, did you trip and hit your head too many times when playing saber rake as a teen?! Or maybe you were spiced?! [[EvenEvilHasStandards You did something GRIEVOUS wouldn't have done]] [[PragmaticVillain from how wasteful it was]]! And he had a Brainrot Plague strain engineered to target only humans just to TICK THE REPUBLIC OFF! Since you obviously don't care of the morality of your action, give me a reason, one reason, I shouldn't have you [[ReassignedToAntarctica reassigned to the Fondor shipyards]]-[[CoolAndUnusualPunishment AS AN ACCOUNTANT]]!"
** The general of course appeals the decision to Palpatine... Whose reaction is just as hilarious:
---> "General

The only reason I'm not adding to the Grand Moff's punishment is that I can't think of anything to make it more humiliating!

** Tarkin's reasoning for giving Kallus credit for using ion disruptors against the Lasat:
--> "Because [[TheDreaded a reputation as a barely restrained sadistic genocidal maniac]] can be useful for an ISB agent."

* Vader's visit at the Lars homestead after Luke and Rivoche (with Tarkin's help) took down the mad Jedi A'shard Hett, so they could get the reward:
