TBF the galaxy is a big place, and they don’t really have the internet there, per se.
(But we all know the real answer is that the franchise wasn’t really all that planned out in such intricate detail back then. Lucas was making up a lot of it as he went.)
The correct answer. Though, basically every force user was killed or went into hiding 20 years prior to that movie. There’s a chance that that officer only heard legends of space wizards and never saw any wizardry firsthand.
Even then there were only about ten thousand Jedi, even if they were still operating with the Jedi Lords system that isn’t even enough for each star system.
And think about the size of the empire, the logistics involved in all that. Vader isn’t really seen as someone that helps much with that. Lazy fuck. Why not have him down in the loading bay to replace the forklift driver and get it all done in a fraction of the time.
Yeah, a rational Empire officer would probably assume Vader is all propaganda smoke and mirrors and propped up as this fearsome boogeyman to quell opposition.
Given the rest of the story, it’s pretty funny this guy knew nothing about the Force or Vader’s skills. First day?

Now I have to wonder if Vader needed to get certified to use his robot body 🤔
Oh he knew. Imagine the story he had for his fellow SpaceRedditors on r/chokemedaddy r/leatherdaddysub and r/forcemeharder.
