* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Jaina enjoys winding up her father and grandfather alike (including leaving a matte pink kiss on her grandfather's helmet), especially on the one subject they agree on: the terrible nature of ''boys''. This rather aggravates said grandfather, who internally notes that he much prefers the very satisfying reflexive "yessir!" he gets from Jacen and Anakin whenever he addresses them.
* DeadpanSnarker: More or less ''everyone'' gets in on it, with even the toddler, little Ben, teasing his 'gampa' by mockingly repeating his words. Vader in particular has moments, commenting - when Leia asks incredulously how he thought the politically naive Luke ruling the Empire was possibly a good idea, Vader, internally acknowledging she has a good point, intones, "an improvement on previous management." When the bickering over who the title he abdicated devolves to settles on Luke abdicating, which would make his two year old son Emperor, Vader, still deadpan, remarks, "still an improvement on previous management."

Even after this, Vader dourly observes that he gets the feeling that his grandson still sees him as a mixture of Daddy 2.0 and a fascinating droid to play with.

* TheAtoner: Vader, in his own very awkward way, clinically offering Leia the opportunity to kill him and detailing various methods and their relative efficiencies/levels of pain caused (it's a standing offer), and later offering to claim that he released all parental rights to Leia (as her adoption by the Organas could not technically be formalised without it), since all documents would have been kept on Alderaan - which is now gone - and his word would do instead. Leia is visibly touched by the latter, and says she'll think about it.
* MamaBear: Mara is a devoted and protective mother, and any perceived threat or insult to her son is enough to draw forth a temper that balks even Vader.
* PokeThePoodle: What Vader's supposed CardCarryingVillain status is reduced to these days, somewhat to his disgruntlement.

* ShortLivedLeadership: When the Executor first returned to the galaxy after twenty-five years of absence, there was a controversy over the crew's status in the New Republic, which brought up the question whether the treaty signed between the Imperial Remnants and the New Republic was valid when the former had acted without the approval of its ruler, that is Darth Vader. To settle the conflict, Vader declares himself the Emperor after the Battle of Endor, agreeing with the accords signed with the New Republic, and immediately abdicating the throne. By Leia's calculation, he was officially Emperor for only two minutes.

* RedeemingReplacement: When his claiming of the Imperial title for about two minutes to revolve a diplomatic snafu over the Bastion Accords and consequent abdication means that the Imperial Throne theoretically devolves to Luke or Leia (neither is sure which is older, and neither wants the job), Vader is entirely fine with the idea, intoning "an improvement on previous management" even when Leia points out Luke's complete lack of {{Realpolitik}} skills meant that if he had ever taken up the offer, someone more politically savvy would have had him for lunch. Luke then says that he'd abdicate... meaning that his toddler son, Ben, would become Emperor. Vader's sole comment.

* ToiletHumour: In ''Lord Vader's Limpet'', little Ben Skywalker, a toddler, is dropped off with Vader and eventually - to Vader's horror - the inevitable happens when Ben needs to "gaz doodoo." Vader has never actually raised a child, so is a bit at a loss, and rings up Mara for help. When little Ben informs her somewhat sorrowfully of what happens, Vader being flummoxed causes her to almost cry laughing.

** Those averting it include Vader himself, who stoically handed Leia a blaster in private, offering her the chance to kill him and pointing out various available methods by pain inflicted and length of time lasted. He also makes it clear to her that this is an open offer.
