It doesn’t seem like op is necessarily promoting the position that this absolves Vader of crimes, and given that Star Wars as a whole is generally more idealistic in its plot it’s not that outlandish of a question, at least to me.
The real reactionary is in the comments. They’ll be in there, pointing out in the expanded universe story “Chewbacca’s Day Off” that a throwaway line in chapter 14 implies that the Jawa massacre on Doofulfus LXIX was actually a good thing because it made sure the hypertrains ran on time.
Just the title is a weird but sort of ok question. The body however makes it some sort of “good deeds of fascism” to me. Why would you expect anything good from a cartoonish villain that you describe as a “ruthless enforcer for the empire”?
