Vader's hands stay light on the controls. They don't always - there's marring on the right especially - but they are now.

"There was no difference in who ran the government the minute Palpatine declared himself Emperor or with the hour before. There was little difference two days before that, only slightly more six months before. The Republic was dying, hastened along by the machinations of Darth Plagius and Palpatine." Someday, someday Luke may come to understand how much a slight that was. "Yes, he and I delivered the death blow. But someone will have to take over once he is dead, or you will have your Rebellion and it's splinter groups, a hundred moffs, at least a few of the ISB, and countless warlords all fighting for the corpse."
