Darth Vader’s Loyalty After Padme’s Death Doesn’t Make Sense To Me.

Movies

He wanted to kill Palpatine when he realized he was the Sith Lord. But decided to turn him in instead. But the only reason he saved him & turned into Vader is because Palpatine promised to teach him how to save padme.

& even when padme goes to Mustafar. He tells her that he can overthrow Palpatine & rule with her.

My point is. It’s not like Vader saw Palpatine as an evil Sith & said “ooh, I want to be like him because I greed for power” no. He did it for padme. So when he heard she died. Why did he stay with the emperor?

I mean I know the Vader suit was designed to hinder Anakin’s power in case he does try to kill Palpatine. But you want to believe that he kept doing evil shit & blindly following whatever orders the emperor gives? & not once did he think to put some secret plan in place to kill the emperor or sumthin? Idk. It just feels like “oh well. I guess I’m evil now”.
