comment
Fate Worse than Death: Palpatine is not pleased when Vader executes Baylo without his say-so, having intended to keep him alive to inflict this trope upon him as Palpatine dismantled everything that Baylo loved, including the Defiance.

comment
Berserk Button: Baylo unknowingly triggers one of Darth Vader's when he states that he would rather have his students dead than let them become mindless robots in service to Palpatine. Vader, who fears being just that, immediately crushes Baylo's windpipe with the Force in a flash of anger.

Meaningful Rename: Of course, the appropriateness of the Defiance's name is not lost on Palpatine, who orders it to be renamed the Obedience after Baylo's death.
