"Yes I have. He sends every few years to remind Jabba who is in charge." And to remind Vader where he came, where Palpatine could put him, and how much better Palpatine treated him. Something Vader knew but never admitted. To speak some things, even inside the roar of one's own mind was to make them real. "It is still terrible. But not what it was."
Join the Dark Side, not be worse than Palpatine. He didn't even need to go as far as Vader himself did. It's a Jedi lie that is an either or - it was like water. You didn't have to go in over your head. "I knew you were a Skywalker before I knew you were my son. You joined the fight against the Desth Star." There's a motion in his shoulder, not quiet a roll - he doesn't have that mobility - but he's brushing that off. Fighting against the Death Star. Not a big deal. "That doesn't matter."
