* InsaneTrollLogic: Upon returning to the Jedi temple on an errand for Palpatine, Vader remembers everything from Order 66 up to his defeat at Mustafar and, in his mind, justifies all the atrocities he committed to such an extent that he even thinks he could’ve somehow convinced Padme to stand with him against the Jedi if Obi-Wan hadn’t shown up. This despite her disgust with him upon the revelation that he slaughtered children, which he erroneously blames on the Jedi council for “not listening to him”. This shows that despite his overwhelming guilt and grief, he simply cannot accept full responsibility for his actions.

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: A more PlayedForDrama variation. Darth Vader isn't really Darth Vader yet; he's still the same Anakin from the prequels, just evil and in the aftermath of hideously disabling wounds and a mess of trauma. Much of the early portion of the book deals with how Vader has suffered a massive decline in terms of his power and effectiveness, such as his fight with Bol Chatak, where he, once one of the best duelists in the Jedi Order, takes considerable damage and is genuinely put on the ropes by a random Jedi Master we've never even heard of before. In one scene, he even throws a very Anakin-esque temper tantrum when a medical droid makes a mistake. Naturally, he does get ''much'' better over the course of the book.

* DanceBattler: In the opening of Chatak and Vader's fight, she comes across like this: Shryne notes that she is "all grace and speed" and that "her lightsaber seemed an extension of her." In contrast, Vader, who is still getting used to his new prosthetic limbs, is deemed by Shryne "clumsy, and his strikes were mostly vertical. He was, however, a full head taller than Chatak and incredibly powerful."

* ScaryImpracticalArmor: Interestingly Vader's iconic suit is depicted as this. It leaves him in constant irritation, he can only walk at a slow pace due to his awkwardly constructed prosthetics, he can never sleep because of his own iconic breathing, and he's constantly reminded of his limitations compared to his old capabilities. Vader even suspects that Palpatine deliberately used outdated tech in his armor and made it nightmarishly uncomfortable as a punishment for his failure on Mustafar. However, by the end of the novel, he's fully adjusted to it and becomes as dangerous as ever.
