Of course, lawful but evil Vader is a lot easier to deal with than cackling evil and batshit Emperor Palpatine, so the officers want Vader as a buffer.
Yer dang right on that one. I'd be hiding behind Vader's cloak with the rest of the officer corps if Palpy was anywhere nearby. Lawful evil is much easier to deal with than chaotic evil.
And I think Obi-Wan is just... naturally cheerful. I'd be more worried if everyone around him started echoing his grin. :-D
The Jedi weren't really *listening* to what was coming out of their mouths in the latter years of the Republic, hence the philosophy that sounds so wrong to normal listeners.
Alas, I'm too far away to be a roomie, but it would be fun, methinks! Some of the best times I had while working thru college/grad school was sharing a condo with three other women and sharing expenses. It worked out good.
