Many believed Lord Vader to be a cold-hearted and ruthless man who concerned himself only with the Empire's strength; thus, it was a great surprise, and a pleasant one, to witness his blatant affection for the prince and princess. He invested vast sums of credits into artistic renditions of his children, which decorate the Imperial Palace and many other important buildings to this day, and so brought a resurgence of art to Coruscant in their honour.
He also took great pleasure in seeing the twins' mutual affection. It was proof of their unshakable bond, wrought deep in the so-called Force, an ancient religion that he himself took part in. It is worth noting that the Empire’s citizens were also overjoyed in seeing their lord's happiness, not least because their livelihoods depended on his good mood.
To this day, the shared love of the Imperial family remains a symbol of the Empire's unbreakable core.

Family portrait time! I had lots of fun working on this one, especially since Vader finally gets his moment to shine XD I put the twins in white so they'd contrast nicely with him, but rest assured they have plenty of dark clothes to match his aesthetic loll
