Also, afaik in ep. 4 it wasn't like Vader was 2nd in command for the whole empire. I remember the scene as moff guy as head honcho in the room, vader number 2 (although obviously special connection to the emperor).

That's my point. Vader was second in command in episodes 3, 5, and 6. Why wasn't he second in command in 4?

god im a nit.

think of it as duel hierarchies- kind of like a SS and wehrmacht. vader is 2nd in the quasi-religous force driven sith heirarchy, but not necessarily the same for the regular military. In fact, he doesn't really have military rank.
