Lando was getting pretty mouthy with the Dark Lord of the Sith. I mean yeah Vader kept altering the deal, but still you wouldn't expect someone to stand up to Vader like that, let alone get away with it.

Was it because Lando was the administrator of Cloud City and Vader didn't want to just go and kill him and cause a big commotion on a political level?

Probably respected the balls on Lando to stand up for himself

I laugh at the idea that the second most powerful man in a literal space dictatorship cares about puny politics.

haha, I know, I'm just wondering why Vader seemed so merciful toward Lando, he clearly had no problem killing people inm ESB

im sure it had something to do with being a cloud city administrator. he's not really an imperial soldier, and is looking out for the best interests of his community. its bargaining, not a military order.

i mean, maybe, i don't remember the scene exactly so i could be wrong.

He knew that Lando would have fucked him up. Vader is not stupid.

Perhaps you think you're being treated...unfairly?"

Vader is well aware of his own reputation. The inflection of voice and unspoken implication is more than enough. Vader doesnt need Lando, but Lando is still useful at this point (hes trying to set up Luke for carbon freezing and Lando has the knowledge to make things go smoothly) so killing him isnt optimal.

Lando clearly gets the message....if he'd said anything other No in reply, then we might be having a different talk.

Vader wanted Skywalker.

Him dealing with Lando at all was a means to an end.

He cant just kill everyone. Plus he needed Cloud City to be in order so Luke would fall into his trap.

Killing the one black guy in star wars would have been a PR nightmare for Vader.
