Star Wars just generally suffers from having been planned as a one-off rip-off of Flash Gordon with that got stretched into one of the largest fictional universes ever written
Imperial propaganda after the clone wars set the Jedi as traitors with most of their accomplishments passed to now-Imperial generals and soldiers. Their Jedi powers were never mentioned and the abilities of the Force were downplayed. Unless you had actually met a Jedi and saw their powers first-hand you'd probably believe they were just some shitty-ass religion, too.
Also, the dude was top brass on the Empire's most important project, and knows that Vader was told to play nice or he'd be in deep shit with the Emperor, so he expected that Vader wouldn't do anything. Mainly because he's also an asshole, as you have to be to make it high in the rankings of the Empire.

After producing some prequels to your original masterpiece movie with scripts you didn't work nearly as hard on in which you accidentally created major plot holes in your masterpiece.

That's just capitalism. No popular concept that makes money can be left alone until every drop of profit has been squeezed and everyone hates it.
For star wars they only need to slap the name on something and it still makes money even now. The next step will be AI movies.

Yeah Star Wars suffers a lot of very funny “first movie-isms” like Darth being absolutely his first name in this movie’s context

The prequels were a mistake.
