Darth Vader has just returned from a mission. He was to investigate an organization called the Maurders and find out what they were up to.

Note 1
Emperor Palpatine,

Hello, master. I have returned. Mr. Idiot and the rest of the Maurders were up to something, but I have no idea what it was. The Maurders are so stupid…I don’t think their actions will ever be comprehended. One of the girls from the other dimension got through the doorway as well. Lissy…yes that was her name. Well, as always, I am at your disposal as far as orders go.

Your servant,
Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 2
Darth Vader,

Thank you for the report. Now, tell me about this Lissy girl. You said she got through the doorway? How? Did you see her do it?

Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 3
Emperor Palpatine,

I have heard about the Death Star plans being stolen. Do not worry. They will be back in our hands shortly. I am looking into it.

I have talked it over with Tarkin….we don’t have any leads, besides the fact that we are certain that it was Rebels who stole the plans.

Lissy was a girl from the other dimension. She went to school at the school I followed Mr. Idiot to. I’m not sure what his intent was, but I do know for certain that the Lissy girl got through the doorway. How do I know? Because I saw her on our side of the doorway. She passed out when she came to our world, and because the Maurders are stupid, and I don’t like the way they kill people, I dragged her into the woods, far from the Maurders.

That is how I know she is here.

There really isn’t anything special about her. She just got mixed up in the Maurder’s stupid experiment.

That is all that I have to report at this time.

Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 4
Darth Vader,

You dragged her into the woods? If she is of no great importance why didn't you kill her? But before you do, ask her how she got through the doorway, and anything you want to know.

I do hope you find the plans, I would hate it to have to go searching for them myself. Get them as soon as you can.

Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 5
Emperor Palpatine,

Yes, I dragged Lissy into the woods. I didn’t kill her because I had no reason to. I do have ethics, you know. I only kill people if I have a reason to kill them. Personally, I saw no need…..I mean, she’s not even from our world….so she is not part of the Rebellion, she is not a Jedi, and she is not a disobedient Imperial officer….she did nothing to make me angry…..so I didn’t see any reason to kill her.

What difference would it have made if I had killed her? None. I have no clue what happened to her after that…..my best guess would be that the Maurders found her and killed her. She could have escaped though…..I don’t know how….but there are old buildings on the planet. Even if she got to one…..how would she get off planet? I don’t think that they have spaceships where she comes from, so I doubt she can pilot.

If I get my hands on her again, I’ll ask her about the doorway. I don’t think she’s really of much use to the Empire, though….

Well I captured a Maurder today…I captured my father. But before you go crazy on me, no, he doesn’t have a force. His force sensitivity disappeared when he became a Maurder…but he used to have a strong force.

I’m going to torture him. I’m going to Tatooine….because I put a tracker on his ship, and that’s where he went…there is something else I want to check into. Do you know anything about he Lars family?

After I’m done with that, I’ll resume my search for the plans.

Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 6
Darth Vader,

Do whatever you want with the girl; she doesn't concern me.

Why in all the time in the galaxy to you choose now to ask me about the Lars? How did you find out about them? I thought they died ages ago? Is there something you're not telling me?

Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 7
Emperor Palpatine,

I don’t know what happened to the girl. She is of no concern or importance, so I think we can forget about her.

Why did I wish to choose to ask about the Lars? Because one of my spies told me that he ordered something from them, and that they looked like they might be related to me, and that they were from Tatooine. That’s why I asked.

My nephew Gryvon wrote to me and told me that he was working at a pharmacy on Coruscant and the Lars guy walked in. Because I was curious, and because I had to go to Tatooine to chase down my father, I followed the Lars guy back to Tatooine…..only to find out that he was going to the same place that the tracker indicated that my father would be….and then I found out that the person was my brother!!!!

I hadn’t gotten a good look at him before….Gryvon just showed me which ship he was getting into. So my brother changed his last name to Lars.

You might think this little excursion of mine was a waste of time…..but it turned out to be better than even I had anticipated. My brother’s son (Gryvon’s brother….although Gryvon doesn’t know his father is Owen), told my brother that he came across some droids that had some important information to the Rebellion….and I could only guess that that would be the Death Star Plans!!!!!

My other brother Rhun was also there with his two daughters.

I honestly didn’t know that Rhun had married, or that Owen and his wife had had yet ANOTHER son……but no matter…..Owen’s other sons were all very weak in the force….just like their father, so it doesn’t really matter that I missed kidnapping the youngest of Owen’s children.

But anyway, none of the family knows I’m there….I’m hiding behind a door. I need to talk to that nephew (that youngest nephew) about the plans….and then I need to take my father back to Coruscant to be tortured.

I must go now.

Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 8
Darth Vader,

You have an interesting way of finding the missing information. If these are the droids with the plans you must get them. Do whatever you want with your father, brothers, and nephew, but remember to get me the plans first.

Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 9
Emperor Palpatine,

Yes, it was an interesting way to find out about the plans. I stop now to update you. Note long after I wrote you the last time I was able to corner my nephew. Fortunately, he like Gryvon, has low intelligence because he told me where the plans were quite bluntly. I’m on my way to retrieve them right now. He, being the idiot that he is, sold the droids to a junk dealer on Dantooine, and now I have to go get them.

By my next letter, I will have the droids as well as the plans. Things are working out nicely.

I also have my father as my prisoner. I’ll be taking him to Coruscant where he will be tortured. I let my nephew go…..I figured he was of little importance due to his low intelligence.

My brothers didn’t even know I was there….only my nephew and my father.

I will report back to you as soon as I have retrieved the plans.

Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 10
Darth Vader,

I'm surprised that your nephew and brothers are related to you, because they seem to be so stupid.

Good, you should have the plans once you get this letter. Hurry and bring them to me, and then you may do whatever you want with your father.

Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 11
Emperor Palpatine,

Actually Gryvon is the only stupid one. My brothers have less intelligence than me, but they’re not stupid. I’m not sure about my other nephew…he seems to be smarter than Gryvon.

I have some bad news to tell you. My nephew lied to me about the plans. I went to Dantooine and found out that droids are illegal there. Don’t worry, I’m coming back to Tatooine to capture him….and after I learn of the plans, I’ll kill him.

So what I’m telling you is that I don’t have them yet, but I am almost to Tatooine. My father is still in my ship.

Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 12
Darth Vader,

Well, your nephew is smarter than I thought. Find the plans, and get them to me as soon as you can. Then do whatever you wish with your father and nephew. I don't care; just get me the PLANS!!

Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 13
Emperor Palpatine,

I returned to Tatooine only to find that my family had left. They actually did something smart.

Yes, my nephew is smarter than I thought he was too. Apparently he is pretty smart….he’s the top of his Coruscant poor kids class. Of course that doesn’t really mean much….that’s just a school that poor children go to, but it does mean that he has SOME intelligence.

After going to Tatooine, I immediately headed back to the Death Star. On my way there, I ran into a Rebel ship. My brother Owen was on it, and so was Lissy….that girl I told you about.

Well somehow, I’m not exactly sure how, Lissy is really Bail Organa’s daughter. I guess she was kidnapped by the Maurders or something after she was born. I don’t quite get that, and I have no clue how Bail decided that some girl from another dimension was his daughter, but anyhow, he believes she is. She goes by the name Leia Organa now.

I captured them and took them to the Death Star. I tried to get Lissy (Leia) to get me to tell me about the plans or the base. She kept on refusing. She has a considerable resistance to my questioning. Most people break down after my torturing, but she hasn’t.

What should I do with her?

I also just have received a report…..a ship called the Millennium Falcon has just landed. My spies informed me that that same ship was one that left Mos Eisley in a hurry….and it has droids aboard. I think that it holds our plans. I will retrieve them. The ship cannot leave because of our tractor beam.

The plans shall be yours as soon as I have scanned and gotten the plans out of that ship. I will execute everyone on it……but……there is another matter……I believe that Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of the people on that ship. I sense his presence…..the last time I felt this was when I fought with him and got burned.

Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 14
Darth Vader,

Obi-Wan-Kenobi is still alive? I thought he died with the other Jedi. Oh well, kill him if he is there. That will be one less Jedi to worry about (not saying there are anymore).

Everything seems to be corrected somehow. First this boy, than the girl, than you find out the boy is your nephew, who knows where the droids are, than they escape, you find out Lissy, I mean, Leia, is Bail's daughter. This is very interesting.

Are you searching your nephew's history, because I don't think he would tell you that he was the top of his class. What's going on that I don't know about?

Kill Leia if she gets you mad, and refuses. Simple as that.

Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 15
Emperor Palpatine,

Yes. Obi-Wan Kenobi is still alive. It amazed me too….but I sense his presence. I thought he had died too. I will kill him if I run into him. I don’t plan on letting him leave without killing him. I hope there are no more Jedi.

Gryvon told me something interesting….now keep in mind that Gryvon is stupid, and I’m not sure how much of what he says is reliable……but he said he saw two people with lightsabers go into the Millennium Falcon. The Millennium Falcon is the ship we captured on the Death Star….so Obi-Wan would have been one of the people……but the other person…I have no idea who that would be. Gryvon said it was a boy. Do you think that it is possible that Obi-Wan found some force-sensitive person and brought the person to Tatooine to start training him?

The scanning crew aboard the Death Star found no one…..but the Millennium Falcon is a smuggling ship…..it is possible that there are compartments or something where they hid. I know for CERTAIN that Obi-Wan is here….and I am sure he is not alone.

Yes, master…haven’t you ever noticed how the world is connected before? Everything SHOULD be connected if it was all created by God. It makes sense.

Yes, the connections are very interesting with this whole Death Star plans thing.

Why does it matter to you if I am searching my nephew’s history? Yes, I am having one of my spies do it….I was just interested in the boy. I never heard of him until recently…and I am just interested in my family’s lives. I don’t think that’s a big deal. Wouldn’t you want to find out all you could about your brother’s child that you never heard of before? Do you know anything about the Lars’? You acted like you had heard of them when I first mentioned them to you. You made the comment, “I thought they died along time ago.”

I have scheduled to terminate Leia, my father, and my brother. They will all die very soon. They are worthless……since all three of them wronged me in some way. They refuse to give me the information I want.

When I find my nephew, he will die too.



Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 16
Darth Vader,

The Lars I know, or knew were just a no-good family that was poor, and stupid. I think they had a force sensitive son, or something, but something happened and they died...or something. Anyway, they disappeared, and I thought they were gone for good, until you told me about that Lars family. I doubt there are any connections with the Lars family I knew and this one.

I don't CARE about you nephew, I'm just wondering what you're doing! Kill him, and anyone else that you want, JUST GET ME THE PLANS!!!!

Obi-Wan is alive? KILL HIM!!! Yes, make sure he does NOT escape, and whomever that other 'Jedi' with him is. Kill both, we do not need two Jedi running loose. I cannot BELIEVE that there are TWO Jedi. Sure, one is understandable, but TWO!!!!!

Kill your brother, your father, Leia, AND THE TWO JEDI!!!!! JUST FIND THOSE PLANS!!!!!! *cough, cough*


Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 17
Emperor Palpatine,

Okay, so Lars is a real person’s last name? Well it’s not the real name of the particular family I was talking about. I know this because the Lars man is my BROTHER. He changed his last name to Lars for some reason….probably to hide from me. Now you weren’t talking about my brother’s family were you?

Well….I have a long story to tell you. The prisoners got away…but do not worry, it was not a good for nothing thing. I knew that the prisoners might be able to escape, so I had my nephew Gryvon put a tracker on the ship. Because I can’t trust him with anything….and knowing him, he might have forgotten to turn the tracker on, or he might not have placed it correctly on the ship. I checked it myself. I fixed the set up. Gryvon had it all wrong….but it I fixed it.

The tracker works fine. I was able to trace the Millennium Falcon…and we let them escape once they were on the ship. I didn’t send a fleet out to destroy them. I only sent four TIEs out. They went to Yavin….so that is where their base is!!!!!! I sent out a couple probes to make sure, and sure enough, it is their base.

I have just set the course for Yavin….so soon the Rebellion will be crushed.

My nephew (not Gryvon, but the other one) rescued my father, brother, and Leia…so they’re all on Yavin.

Here’s the story of exactly what happened…I felt Obi-Wan Kenobi’s presence, so I started fighting him. During the fight, my nephew was able to rescue the prisoners and they had just made it over to their ship…when I killed Obi-Wan. My nephew gave them away by yelling. I immediately recognized him as my nephew…..even though I had only seen him once, and I was about to go kill him when he hit the controls to the open door that separated us. I could not fix it in the amount of time that it took them to escape. Someone must have turned the tractor beam off because they escaped just fine.

I HATE my nephew. The next time I see him, he’s dead. He not only lied to me, but he rescued MY prisoners…ones that I had scheduled to terminate…..and he’s making me look like a fool. He will not get away with these things!!!!

So unfortunately, I was unable to get you the plans…..all because of my STUPID NEPHEW THAT I HATE!!!!!! At any rate, I know where the Rebel Base is, and we will destroy it as soon as we get to it.

Well no worries. Obi-Wan Kenobi is now dead. The strange thing is I couldn’t find his body after I killed him. He disappeared at the last second from me…but he was nowhere to be found, so I assume that he is dead.

Gryvon must have been mistaken. There WAS no other Jedi that I could see…I only got a few seconds to look at the people that had been with Kenobi….but the only people were my nephew, Leia, a Wookiee, my brother, the two droids, and some person that I didn’t recognize. I realize that this last person COULD have been a Jedi, but he didn’t look like one to me. He looked to….um……rough. I didn’t get a chance to look for any lightsabers, but I think Gryvon was wrong.



Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 18
Darth Vader,

I am very glad to hear the last Jedi is FINALLY dead. That is good news. Now, about the plans...you LOST THEM!!!!! You let the prisoners get AWAY!!!!! Vad-er (in one of those whiny kid voices), I want them dead, Dead, DEad, DEAd, DEAD!!!!! Get the plans, destroy Yavin, kill ANYONE that gets in your way, just GET THE PLANS!!!! We must get them or our own plan will fail. Do not fail me again, Vader.

Another thing...you have two nephews, which one do you HATE, which is stupid, which rescued the prisoners AND which one are you going to kill? You're confusing me, because you keep saying, 'my nephew this, my nephew that'. Could you just say their names, please?

Lars is a different family, not your brothers, because let me think...they all died before I become senator (if you can remember me being Senator of Naboo). So don't worry about them.

One last thing...GET THE PLANS!!!!!!


Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 19
Emperor Palpatine,

Uh….actually I didn’t kill Obi-Wan. He used the Force to disappear on me and he’s still alive.

Yes, I lost the plans, but not all is lost. Master, I told you we placed a tracker on their ship, the Millennium Falcon. Well…by doing that I found out where the Rebel Base is. It’s Yavin. We are very close to it now and it will be in range in 15 minutes. We will swiftly destroy it, and then it will no longer matter that the Rebels have the plans.

Yes, I did LET the prisoners get away! Why? Because I felt it was our best move. I was going to kill them, and I tried not to let them leave the Death Star, but I got in a fight with Obi-Wan, and the stormtroopers were supposed to go after the rescuers and the prisoners, but they didn’t do their job very well. I can’t handle everything, Master. After they took off, I decided on an alternative plan…let them get to their base and track them so that we could come and blow it up. I felt that was wiser than it would have been to just intercept the plans and kill the prisoners and still not know where the Rebel Base was. This way we know where the Base is and we can destroy it. I sent 4 TIEs after them so that they would escape, but not so that it would be extremely obvious that we let them go.

So you see that it is actually to our ADVANTAGE that I let them go.

Do you agree with me on the action that I took now that you know my reasons? We no longer need the plans if we destroy their base. I will do my best, however remember that I can not control everything.

Actually, I have 3 nephews, but one of them is a servant at the Imperial Palace (his name is Taran). The one that I was talking about when I was just referring to the one that I hated, which is stupid (I just said that in anger and I think he’s smarter than his brother), which rescued the prisoners, and the one I’m going to kill….that’s my nephew Luke that I was talking about. I don’t think I ever mentioned his name to you before…but that’s his name.

All right from now on I’ll call them by their names. I’ll say “my nephew Gryvon” or “my nephew Luke.”

I’m sorry that I confused you by not saying their names.

Yes, I remember that you were Senator of Naboo….I don’t think I’ll ever forget that. Okay, so it’s a different Lars family. That’s okay.

Some Rebels have been opposing us, and I have been able to shoot them down so easily. It’s actually kind of funny…how easily I can destroy their ships. However, there is this one ship that is somehow dodging all my shots…..at crazy angles….and I am sensing something…he’s using the Force…and I believe he has a STRONG FORCE. He is one of the 3 remaining ships still trying to attack. I don’t know how that’s possible, but he can’t be stronger than me. I will kill him. I am on him now as I am writing this. He will soon be dead.


Your Servant,
Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 20
Darth Vader,

All right, so you LET the prisoners escape so that you can find the base when they leave. That's a smart move, I didn't think of that.

If the stormtroopers are stupid and don't do their job well, why didn't you tell me sooner? I could have gotten a deal on these new stormtrooper people that...oh never mind. Anyway, if they're not doing their job, kick some sense into them or something!! We can't have stupid idiots walking around the Death Star, while we're trying to work. Do you understand?

So, Obi-Wan is STILL alive!?!?! He IS the last Jedi Knight, isn't he??? Well, kill be next time you meet him, and make SURE he's dead before you leave.

So, you think this pilot is force sensitive and strong at that? Either kill him or capture him. He will be of good use for us if we get him.

Thank you for telling me your nephews names. It was beginning to get hard for me to figure out who you were talking about for a while there.


Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 21
Emperor Palpatine,

Thank you, master. You see, I DID know what I was doing.

Well the stormtroopers are good at being controlled (because they’re so stupid), but because they are stupid, they sometimes mess jobs up. What do you mean by, “I could have gotten a deal on these new stormtrooper people that…oh never mind.” What did you mean by that? I think it’s impossible to kick sense into stormtroopers. Just for the fun of it, I have used mind control on them and have made them say and do really stupid things. It was quite funny. (I did that when we had no important task underway, of course.) Well you can’t have everything, master….when you get something you give up something. We could have used intelligent people to do the stormtrooper’s jobs, but then we would have run into problems with controlling them in huge numbers. If we use stupid people, yes, we can control them, but we lose their intelligence. It was either one or the other, and I believe you did the right thing….even though they are stupid.

Yes…..Obi-Wan is still alive. I do not know for sure whether he is the last Jedi Knight or not, okay? There could be more hiding, but if they’re hiding, they’re not causing us any harm. Now Kenobi I will kill as soon as I get a chance to fight him again.

Uh….I mentioned the Force Sensitive pilot to you? Oh yeah…I guess I did. Well no need to worry about him…he wasn’t that force sensitive. I was mistaken and he was only a little Force Sensitive. (Not strong like I had first thought.) I killed him after the battle.

Now there’s something I need to tell you. The Death Star was kind of destroyed…it was destroyed before Yavin could be blown up. We would have blown Yavin up if everything had turned out right….but the problem was that force sensitive individual. If it hadn’t been for HIM….oh he messed everything up. His friend came and shot all the ships and I was hit and started spinning away from the Death Star. If it hadn’t been for the stupid force sensitive person, our plans would have worked and the rebel base would have been destroyed!!!!! He made that shot within the last few seconds before Yavin was supposed to have been blown up. That’s not fair!!!!! I saw the explosion from where I was spinning. Fortunately I stopped my ship from spinning and hunted down the person who had destroyed the Death Star…and I killed him.

Um well I was wrong about one of my nephew’s names. It wasn’t Luke…that was his middle name. His first name was Andrew.


Your servant,
Darth Vader

PS You don’t need to bother to find out the names of the people who destroyed the Death Star. I can get the names for you. Um…let’s see….the strong force sensitive individual was named Steve Smith. The person that helped him was named Han Solo. There, now I saved you all the trouble of looking up what their names were.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 22
Darth Vader,

So, what did you call Andrew 'Luke'? Is that common in your family, to call people by their middle names? Wasn't your middle name Alex, or something like that (before you became Vader that is)?

So, you killed this Force Sensitive people that you mistakenly thought was very Force sensitive, but happened not to be and he and his friend blow up the Death Star, then you hunted the pilot down and killed him, right? Ok, I'm pleased that you killed him, but I don't like the fact that...THE DEATH STAR WAS DESTROYED!!!!!!!!!!!! You should have been able to stop it, and HOW in the GALAXY did that Force-sensitive-pilot's-friend shoot you causing your ship to spin out of control? Why didn't you shoot him before he shot you?

Yes, Stormtroopers are stupid, but I thought I heard that they just made a new type of Stormtroopers (still stupid), that are better then the kind we have. That's what I meant by my small statement.

Anyway, I want you to kill Obi-Wan, no matter what. Whatever other Jedi you run into, kill them. We do not need them to interfere with our work. Do you understand?


Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 23
First Vader and Palpatine Note written after AOTC came out

Emperor Palpatine,

Yes, I called Andrew “Luke” because my brother kept calling him by his middle name and I didn’t find out until later that his name was Andrew. Yes, it is common in my family to call people by their middle names…just because it’s like a code thing in our family. People outside our family don’t know why we’re talking about when we call people by their middle names. No, my middle name was NOT Alex. Where did you get that idea? My middle name is actually Luke. (AN: he’s telling the truth. Look at the early Shmi and Summoner Prequel Notes after Anakin’s born.) Alex was the name of my great-grandfather. I have no idea why people are bringing my great-grandfather’s name up now.

Yes, I hunted down the Force Sensitive (but not THAT Force Sensitive) pilot that was able to destroy the Death Star and I killed him before he was able to make it back to Yavin. I knew you wouldn’t be pleased that the Death Star was destroyed, Master. And although I’m the most Force Sensitive person in the galaxy, I learned long ago that I’m not all-powerful. Even though I want to be, I’m only a human, and I can’t control everything; only God can do that. I tried my best to stop the Rebel pilots. We didn’t know about the weakness in the Death Star plans until we analyzed the Rebel’s attack. There was nothing we could do about it at that point in time, so the only option we had was to try to destroy the pilots ship to ship. They were too small to be destroyed by our big guns because they were able to evade the fire from them. I went out their myself to try to destroy the ships (and if I hadn’t done that, I would be dead right now), and I shot down a LOT of pilots. I shot down so many that I lost track of the number. I don’t mean to disrespect you, master, but you do need to realize that some things don’t work out your way. I’m not all-powerful, and neither are you. The best thing we can do is to try.

Now how this Force Sensitive pilot’s friend was able to shoot me went like this…first of all the Force Sensitive pilot’s friend was not even in a standard Rebel fighter. He was in a ship called the Millennium Falcon (the same one that blasted out of Mos Eisely, and the one that landed on the Death Star…the one Obi-Wan and the others escaped in), and he did not come into the battle until I was already on the Force Sensitive pilot (I had shot down or damaged the other pilots beyond repair…so the Force Sensitive pilot was the only one left.) I was busy trying to use the Force to shoot down the Force Sensitive pilot, and the Millennium Falcon came from above and shot the two other X-Wings…and hit me so that I spun out of control. Do you understand that? I wasn’t expecting a ship to shoot at me from behind because the Force Sensitive pilot was the only one left, and I was busy using the Force to try to shoot down the Force Sensitive pilot. At the last second, I felt the danger through the Force, and was able to move my ship a little bit…that’s why the shot wasn’t direct enough to destroy me. Does that answer your question of why I wasn’t able to shoot the Millennium Falcon down before it shot at me?

Okay, thanks for explaining what you meant by the stormtrooper statement you made in your last letter.

I will look for Obi-Wan…you’ll just have to give me a little time. I can’t do everything at once. I’ll start looking for him immediately, okay. Since I will be looking for him, I will need several thousand troops, as well as the help of the Imperial Navy. Is that all right? I have my plans of how I’m going to capture him, but I need troops. I’m taking care of the rest of things. Since you have given me the assignment of killing Obi-Wan, don’t expect me to be on Coruscant any time soon. I’ll be gone for a while. If you need to contact me, you know my contacting number and how to reach me by my ship. Do not worry, Master; I want Obi-Wan dead just as much as you do.

One more thing…I just thought of something….what if we were to make a Death Star that was even more powerful than the original one? I can design it…I know how the first Death Star worked, and I played around with the equations and the design, and I know how to make a stronger and more powerful one. If you let me, I’ll come up with the plans. I’ll also double check everything, and I won’t have a huge mistake in the plans like Dooku had with the original. Is that all right?


Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 24
Darth Vader,

You ask for more time and I grow weary of this waiting. The destruction of the Death Star greatly hinders the progress of the Empire. But this plan you propose of a new, better Death Star is intriguing. You were always good at designing things. I will allow you this opportunity. But I demand perfection! Do not let me down. Speak with my Imperial scientists on this matter and consort with them and I want progress updates. Of course when the time comes I will oversee operations and inspect it myself. Do you understand?

I will also allot you two thousand Imperial troops to search for Obi-Wan. The fact that he lives angers me a great extent. He is a silent threat which must be extinguished. Since you are proficient in the ways of droids you must assist in the construction of probe droids which will be able to sense the force. I have some at my disposal, check their efficiency. I know that you want Obi-Wan dead. I have felt it. You must also be rid of this force sensitive pilot. But find out as much as you can before you dispose of him. It disturbs me that you of all people were caught off guard. Are you hiding something? You know that you can’t hide anything from me Vader. Kill all those who are in league with the rebellion. Torture is always an option to extract information.

You said that neither or us are all powerful. Are you so sure of this? Power, Vader is gained over time. You and I are the most powerful force sensitive individuals left. The Dark side flows through us. You talk of ethics and God but your actions speak otherwise. You’d best sort out your morals; you left your name behind long ago. Never forget that. Your past is always there but do not let it haunt you. The ghosts of the past only fee the living evil of today.

Also, find who made the mistakes in the plans of the last Death Star and be rid of them. I must go mull over matters privately. I hope to hear of some GOOD updates in your next note.

Note 25
Emperor Palpatine,

I am pleased that you have considered my plans for the new Death Star, and have allowed me to come up with the plans. As soon as I read your last letter I began coming up with the new plans. I will attach a copy of them to this letter. You should know me well, my master; I am a perfectionist. The plans will be perfect; I guarantee it. I have already gotten the approval from your Imperial scientists, and they were impressed with my plans. I have instructed the Imperial scientists to give you progress updates. I do not want to be in charge of the operation; I have more important things to do. I have written down the steps to correctly build the Death Star with NO mistakes. You will be updated often, and I have made a contract with them and part of the conditions are that you will oversee the final operations and inspect it yourself. Is that acceptable? The only thing we need is your approval signature, and construction will begin immediately.

Thank you for granting my requests for Imperial troops, and for allowing me to use the Imperial Navy. Your generous offer of probe droids was also much needed and appreciated. I have sent out thousands of probes throughout space, each probe having the ability to sense the force. Obi-Wan will be found and destroyed.

One of my officers informed me that a probe droid has picked up something in a remote system called Hoth. I have scanned the file from the probe droid myself, and I am confident that the Rebels are there. Not only did I see a Rebel structure, but the midi-cholorian scanner also picked up a high reading. No doubt Obi-Wan is there. I will find him and crush him.

I have ordered the Imperial Navy to set the course for the Hoth system. Soon I will have Obi-Wan. Your mastery of the Force is excellent, master. You are right; I do want Obi-Wan dead. He is the only reason I am sending out so many droids. You could NEVER be mistaken about what I am sensing. You could never be more correct.

Master, I already told you that I killed the Force Sensitive pilot. I told you that at least twice. Do not worry about that pilot; he’s dead. There was nothing special about him. His parents were from a small planet with little significance to the Rebellion. I researched him thoroughly, and there is nothing to say about him. He just happened to be Force Sensitive. His name was Steve Smith, as I already told you.

Yes, I admit that I was caught a little off guard during the Death Star battle. I sensed the danger just as the shot was being fired at me, and I pulled away. I was in a tight spot and there was no where I could go except a few inches to one of my sides. My ability to sense the Force made it possible to sense the danger and move out of a position that would have hit me with a direct shot.

No, I am not hiding anything from you! You know that I would never dare to do anything like that. I’d be foolish to do that; and I know that you know everything. Why would I even try to hide something from you? I cannot think of any reason.

I will kill all those who are in league with the Rebellion; you have my word. Yes, I enjoy torturing people to extract information. Anyway, my duty is to find all those who oppose the Empire and to kill them. Obi-Wan and all the Rebels at the Rebel Base will die. That’s the whole reason I asked for the Imperial Navy and Imperial Troops. I want to do my duty to crush the Rebellion.

I’m sorry master. I was tired when I wrote the last message. Of course you are all powerful and can control every situation that goes on in the galaxy. Everything has always gone exactly according to your plans. I am sorry if I disrespected you when I said neither of us are all powerful. I was shocked by news that one of my personal informers gave me. Please accept my apology, master. And yes, I know that we are the most powerful force sensitive individuals left. We cannot fail because of this. I know where I stand, and you do not have to remind me of my past. I am Darth Vader, and that is that. Don’t even bring up what I used to be. I care for nothing except for the good of the Empire. There is no good left in me, and nothing left of what I used to be.

As you should already know, it was Count Dooku and his band of idiots that came up with the original Death Star plans. Yes, I know Dooku was working directly under you when he came up with the plans, under your orders, but you should not have had him design the Death Star. He didn’t know the first thing about building something, and he got help from the Maurders and other stupid groups. Count Dooku is dead, but I don’t know about the members of all those organizations. Do you want me to search?

I hope that you find my news good. (About the Rebels being on Hoth.) Soon the Rebellion will be crushed.


Your servant,
Darth Vader

Note 26
Darth Vader,

I am pleased with the plans that you have provided for a better, more efficient Death Star. I would expect nothing less than perfection from you. I can understand you busyness. I have just signed the approval signature for the plans. I have received prompt updates already from Imperial scientists. This pleases me immensely. From what I see these plans contain no mistakes. The Rebel threat, along with any other substantial threats will come to an end once this battle station is fully armed and operational. I trust you anticipate that day as much as I do. It was such a pity when I learned that the original Death Star plans were flawed. He assured me that the plans are foolproof, much like you are now. But experience has served me well. After all it was at that time that I did not have you or the Imperial scientists at my disposal yet. The former Count Dooku was a statesman who held a significant political position. But soon I came to the realization that the only political system effective is a dictatorship. The Maurders should be almost dissolved. If you feel it necessary you may search them out and destroy them. If they pose a considerable threat kill them, even if they don’t kill them! Their failure will lead to their demise. If you must you may use some assassins that I have at my disposal or your own. Just let me know of their subsequent demise and which assassins you employ. Use any means necessary to rid the galaxy of their presence. Will you do this?

The prove druids that I provided should assist you substantially. They have prove very useful in past endeavors. Apology is accepted from your comments in a latter note. You should rest if you have the time. There is new machinery available to assist you physically. I feel that you will want to design a chamber of relaxation yourself. I will prove the materials. Will you recuperate and build a better chamber than the one that another built for you? The planet Hoth you say? I understand that it is an icy planet. I will provide a squadron of specially trained snow troops. Will you oversee this endeavor personally? We must be rid of Obi-Wan and the Rebels there. Will you require AT-AT Walkers? They are at your disposal if need be. Let us freeze the hearts of the Rebels and crush them in one fell swoop. I will of course require a report of this endeavor.

Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 27
Emperor Palpatine,

I am glad you like the plans for the new Death Star. My sources tell me that the orders for the Death Star parts have now come in. Construction on this Death Star will begin today. I’m sure you were already aware of that, though. I will see to it that you continue to receive prompt updates. You know that I cannot wait for the day when the Rebellion no longer exists. No one will dare oppose the Empire once the Death Star is complete.

Count Dooku was old at the time of the start of the Clone Wars. Do you know that I could have killed him in the first battle of the Clone Wars? I was fighting him really well, and I know he was scared of me during the fight. Dooku had never built anything before that. I know that you did not have me or your Imperial scientists at your disposal, but it would have pleased me if you would have asked ME to come of with the design. I know that you didn’t want to reveal yourself as a Sith yet, but you could have told me that you needed some help designing a defense thing against the Separatists. I would have done it for you. Oh well, that is all in the past now. I thought you had decided to have a dictatorship long before the Empire…when you had the Trade Federation invade Naboo. It was under my understanding that the whole reason you had that happen was so that you could create sympathy for yourself in the Senate, and then become elected to Supreme Chancellor. After you had that position I thought you decided to create the Clone Army, but you couldn’t do anything about it for 10 years because the clones had to mature. 10 years later you had Dooku start the Separatist threats so that you could have a war and get emergency powers……so that you could declare yourself Emperor. I thought that was your plan from the beginning. Am I wrong about that? I thought you wanted to be Emperor all along.

During the flight over to Hoth, I contacted Boba Fett…the famous Bounty Hunter. I asked him if he could locate Mr. Idiot and Magg, the leaders of the Maurders. He was pleased to hear of the assignment, and told me that he had actually already killed them. According to Fett, Magg Stupid tried to rip off Boba Fett by paying him Republic credits instead of Imperial credits. Fett would not tolerate that, so he destroyed the leaders. With the leaders dead, the Maurder organization has been dissolved. That should be good news to you, my master. Their own stupidity DID lead to their demise. Tell me, did you already know of this when you wrote me? Of course you were familiar with their lack of intelligence for much longer than I was. Thank you for offering your assistance in the area of assassins.

Yes, the probe droids that you provided helped me locate the Rebel Base. Yes, I do need a good rest. I have not been able to sleep well the past couple of nights. I also thank you for creating new machinery to assist me physically. I would like a new chamber of relaxation for myself, and I was pleased to receive the necessary materials. I will have my men work on building it immediately. In the mean time, my current relaxation chamber will be fine.

Yes, the planet Hoth is an ice planet. The troops that you provided (the snow troops and the AT-At), have arrived with more ships in the fleet. Yes, I will oversee this operation personally. I want to be certain that Obi-Wan is dead this time.

Unfortunately I WILL require the snow troops and the AT-AT Walkers. The officer in charge of the fleet made a stupid decision. While I was resting in my chamber, he ordered that the fleet not move out of hyperspace until it was CLOSE to the Hoth system. Apparently he thought that “surprise would be wiser.” When the fleet came out of hyperspace, the Rebels were alerted to our presence and put up a shield. Nothing can get through this shield, so we must do a ground assault to take the shield generator down. I killed the officer responsible for the mistake. We will be landing in 10 seconds. I will let you know how the battle goes.

That is all to report at this time.


Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 28
Darth Vader,

Tell me how went the battle? I’ve received some preliminary reports but some officers tend to embellish too much for my liking. I’ll trust a clear report is in order from you. I’m glad that the snow troopers and Imperial walkers have arrived. Use them to eliminate the Rebel threat, but if the chance arises take prisoners to gain intelligence. Any method of torture is preferred. I am pleased that you got rid of the officer who made the dim witted mistake. The Empire does not need the likes of them soiling our plans.

I have received updated reports on the new Death Star. The designs are flawless, as I have anticipated. I know that you could have done away with Count Dooku from the beginning, but he still had a role to play at the time. Although, it is a pity that you were wounded in that battle. Luckily at that time the scientists I provided for you made the latest improvements in mechanical limbs. I could have asked you to create the plans but the Jedi constantly surrounded you. Not only that your former master would have grown suspicious of you and that could have put quite a damper in our plans. The deluded Council had once believed that Dooku was still “good” and after discovering his link to the Sith they became all the more paranoid. Also your training at the time required youto remain unbiased in political affairs. Master Yoda was suspicious of me since the start and especially of the Separatist movement. I wish that I could have finished him off personally, but he disappeared. Though most likely the aged creature is dead by now. You never did like him very much anyway, did you?

It also pleases me to hear that the Maurder’s leaders are no more. I did know of this previously before I contacted you, but I wanted to make sure that you learned of this from Boba Fett himself. Assassins are sufficient in executing plans in secrecy, but I learned of that development beforehand. I am glad that the organization has been dissolved. But I will send some Imperial agents of my own out ot make sure that the name Maurders is spoken no more. It is always good to tie up loose ends.


Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 29
Emperor Palpatine,

The battle went fairly well. Our troops were able to knock out the shield protecting the base, however many Rebels escaped. I captured as many of them as I could…and I have about 50 prisoners. That’s a high number for such a base. Unfortunately my time is otherwise occupied, and I do not have time to torture and question them. I also thought you would like to have the pleasure of doing that yourself. You must tell me what you learn from them, because I am still interested. Some of the rebels went out in snowspeeders and tried to shoot our Walkers down. Most of the pilots were shot down, but a couple caused quite a bit of damage. One of them tripped a couple of the Walkers using tow cables, and one even blew up a walker using a bomb.

The stormtroopers are the only Imperials that should be stupid. We need intelligent officers to make wise decisions. It is always unfortunate when I have to eliminate an officer due to stupidity, but we cannot have stupid officers.

I assured you that the Death Star plans WOULD be flawless. I am pleased that my words have been fulfilled. Yes…losing an arm is the worst kind of pain in battle. I think it made me stronger, though…it taught me a lesson. That is something that all Sith should go through…because it helps build us.

It is true…the Jedi surrounded me much of my time. I used to be so relieved to get away from them, because they always thought they knew best. Obi-Wan was suspicious of everything and everyone. He was (and still is) a constant annoyance. Unfortunately he escaped before I could capture him in the Hoth battle.

Ah yes…Master Yoda. It is a shame you could not have finished him off. However, I have just received word from a trusted source that he is still alive. You are right; I never did like him. When I was 9 and first went before the Council, everyone was against my training. I remember thinking to myself how I could yank the ears of that little short green creature, and how I could beat him up. He always questioned me about everything I said, and like everyone else, he never listened to me. I didn’t like talking to the Council much. They were way too deluded. Did you know that they thought that I would not fall for Padmé, and that by sending me on the mission to protect her, I would choose the right thing…and not act on my feelings, and not redevelop my feelings for her. The Council was well aware that I had had feelings for Padmé 10 years before. They were WAY too deluded, you are right. And it’s funny to think that they would assume Dooku was still “good” after he quit the Order.

Yes, I think it is a relief that the Maurder leaders are dead also. So you already knew that the Maurders were being disposed of before you contacted me about it? Hmm…you always were one for tying up loose ends, weren’t you?

Well, I am quite busy at the moment. I am in the process of getting ready for an important Imperial banquet.


Darth Vader
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 30
Darth Vader,

It appears the Rebels are getting crafty…though they’re also getting desperate. We’ve destroyed one of their strongholds and I doubt they’re organized enough to withstand an attack on their fleets. After torturing the Rebel prisoners, three quarters of which refused to talk so they were disposed of…but a few decided their lives were worth something and managed to give my personal interrogators information. It was very interesting information…it appears that there is a Rebel who goes by the name Luke Skywalker. They told my interrogators that he was proficient in the force…and why shouldn’t he be? He is your son after all. And he must not become a Jedi. Unless you’re planning something to bring him over to the dark side he must be destroyed. Any thoughts on this?

I have a feeling that two annoyances, your former master and master Yoda, will try and teach him the ways of the Jedi. If he could be turned he could prove a valuable asset in disintegrating the last remains of the Jedi and crush the rebellion. I can sense that you wish this to be so. Find a way to bring him to me and together we shall teach him the dark ways of the force. I have foreseen a future where this is possible; none would defeat the Empire if that were to be so. The Council was deluded long ago with Yoda as its head and he is deluded even now if he thinks that he can train Skywalker. If they thought you were too old, the old fool will no doubt slip up somehow in training him. And yes indeed losing your arm did help to…build you. Interesting that you say that… But no matter pain is something that the Sith thrive on, you above all know this.

You mentioned an important Imperial banquet…do keep me informed. If you are planning something please update me.


Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 31
To my Emperor,

So you have learned that Luke Skywalker is my son? I admit that I knew of it , but not long before you did. Even I did not know of it until I found out he was the one who blew up the Death Star, and from one of my sources who confirmed it for me. His existence was hidden from me from the beginning. I never even knew Padmé was pregnant. She was able to hide that fact from me with the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. On the night of our wedding, I got her pregnant, but then I had to go fight in the Clone Wars, and I had to leave her during that time. And of course I turned during that, so no one wanted me to know.

I understand, however, that YOU did learn that my wife was pregnant, and that you even saw him when he was born, but Obi-Wan took him away from you before you could kill him. You even knew his name was Luke. But like everyone else, you probably thought he would die. My own wife thought Luke had died shortly after birth, because he was born really small, and he was sick or something along those lines. I have informants too.

That is all in the past, and now we are on the same page with each other. I am sorry that I did not tell you right away when I found out that I had a son. I was not sure of your reaction. However, I too saw his usefulness and wanted to turn him so that he could be an asset to us. I was going to turn him and then tell you about it.

You deserve to be updated, so I will tell you the truth. The real reason I sent out all those probes and requested the fleet was so that both could aide me in finding him. Getting to Obi-Wan was not my main goal, however, I was hoping to do that too.

I thought that my son was on the Millennium Falcon (by the way he was the one that blew up the Death Star, and was the Force Sensitive person that I discovered in the Death Star battle), because he and his friends use that ship. I chased them through an asteroid field, and after it appeared that we had lost them (they attached their ship to a side of ours so that I could not detect them), as our fleet broke up, we emptied our garbage. I put a bounty on the ship, and I asked the best bounty hunters in the galaxy if they could locate the ship.

Boba Fett was the one that actually found them. He saw that as we emptied our garbage, the Millennium Falcon floated away with it. So did Boba Fett. He informed me immediately. We figured out that they only safe place they could have been a place called Bespin, also known as Cloud City. Because the Millennium Falcon had a damaged hyperdrive, and could not go into lightspeed, our fleet beat the Millennium Falcon there. We hid.

Bespin is a very beautiful place, master. The Administrator of the business, a man named Lando Calrissian has been running a mining operation here. Of course it is unauthorized and illegal. There is no Imperial presence there. That will change very shortly.

I made a “deal” with Lando that if he led the passengers of the Millennium Falcon to us, that we would leave the mining colony alone. Of course I said that merely so he would think he was safe, and lead them directly to me. I have no intentions of leaving it alone.

When the Rebels landed, my son was not with them. (My son was also the person I mistook for being my nephew…Owen’s son. Remember when I told you about my nephew who kept ruining my plans? That was him. Owen and Beru appear to have raised him.) Of course, since he is Force Sensitive, there are other ways of bringing him here.

I am not sure how Force Sensitive Luke is, but I am confident that is Force Sensitive enough that my idea would work. You of course know that Jedi can have visions, and that they have visions when people close to them are in pain. I decided to use that to our advantage. I tortured his friends very extensively. He will be able to sense their pain and have Jedi visions, and he will come here.

Lando Calrissian has just informed me about a freezing process here. Perhaps I could freeze my son and bring him to you? Since I do not know if the process will work, I plan to test it on Captain Han Solo.

Even now as I write this, the freezing chamber is being set. I will let you know what happens.

Now to answer the rest of your letter:
I do not know what the Rebels plan to do now that we have destroyed two of their bases. Would they be foolish enough to risk a third base? Or will they try something else. You are right; they never could withstand an attack on their fleets.

How is the new Death Star project coming along? I heard that they had begun construction on it, but I have heard of no updates. Surely you must be up to date.

So a few of the captured Rebel prisoners said told you about Luke Skywalker. As you know, Skywalker is the most common name in the galaxy, so just on that, he did not HAVE to be my son. Of course he is, and you also knew that my son’s name was Luke, and when you heard he was Force Sensitive, that must have really confirmed it.

I have been writing to him, actually, and he did tell me he was being trained by Yoda. Obi-Wan had been doing training with him, I am sure. It comes as a little surprise that the prisoners would know of it, however. I would have thought that he would have tried to keep it a secret, but perhaps word traveled quickly.

You are right, he must not become a Jedi. I promise you that he will join us or die, my master. I do plan on turning him to the Dark Side, and have been planning it for some time now.

If Luke can be turned, the Empire will receive many benefits from his turning. With him on our side, the final two Jedi can be destroyed. Perhaps Luke could even trick them into thinking he was still on the Light Side, and destroy them when he would meet with them next. With his help, crushing the Rebellion would become easy. He could also lead the Rebellion into a direct trap.

Actually, master, Yoda was not quite the head of the Jedi Council. Mace Windu was, but Yoda was right under him. I suppose you could say that Mace Windu and Yoda headed it together, but the final authority and Jedi assignments came through Mace Windu.

The Jedi were always too foolish and trusting for their own good. Luke will be their destruction. Yoda and Obi-Wan are indeed deluded enough in thinking they could train my son.

The Imperial banquet that I mentioned was actually the trap that I set for Leia Organa and Han Solo. It was there that they were turned over to me.

I believe I have updated you on my plans. If you have any questions, please ask. I have tried to explain everything as well as I could.


Your servant,
Darth Vader

Vader,

Do not concern yourself with the Death Star project. I will see to its completion personally.

So the 'just a little bit force-sensitive' person, that you reported to have killed yourself, the one that destroyed the death star, is your son. And miraculously still alive.

I grow tired of your constant excuses and little schemes, I want RESULTS. Do not forget who is your master. I've had other apprentices before, do not make the mistake to believe yourself irreplaceable. You might still remember how being lashed with force lightning feels...

You are to bring your son before me. Together we will turn him towards the Dark Side, and he will help you hunt down the last remaining Jedi, Yoda, Obi-wan and any other that might have eluded us before. I am on my way to Endor, where the death star is being built. Bring him there.

Solo and Organa are of no concern to me. Do with them as you please.

I have set things in motion that will ensure our compete and final victory over those forces that still dare to oppose the Empire.

Do not fail me again.

Emperor Palpatine
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 33
To my master Emperor Palpatine,

I am sorry that I could not be more help to the Death Star project right now. As soon as I am done with this business on Cloud City, I will help with the Death Star. I wish to concern myself with the project because it is a very important Imperial operation, and I feel that I must do my part in making sure it runs smoothly. But you said you will see to its completion personally? That would require you actually going there. So does that mean you will personally be there to watch the completion. If so, I will make sure that everything is in order before your arrival. I have not been receiving very positive reports from the officers working there.

Yes, the person that I said was a little bit force Sensitive, that I had reported to have killed, and the one that destroyed the first Death Star was my son. I wished to turn him to the Dark Side, but I wasn’t sure how you would react to his existence. That is why I said what I did. I did not want you to find out who he was too early, because I was afraid you would have him killed without giving him a chance to turn to the Dark Side.

During the Death Star battle I did not know who he was, and I would have killed him, except the Millennium Falcon came showed up unexpectedly, and I managed to avoid being hit (through the Force), but a TIE fighter next to mine was hit, and while trying to avoid a shot, I moved my ship into the hit TIE’s path, and it knocked my ship out of control. I could not maintain control of my ship until the Death Star was blown up, and the Rebels were far away from the area.

I know results are important to you; they are important to me as well. Believe me, I am only doing this business on Cloud City because of what I might accomplish for the Sith (concerning Luke.) I also well know that you are my master, and believe me I would never forget that. You do not need to make threats towards me. I have been working for you for 20 years now. I know my place, and I also know that you could destroy me if it suited you, and that you could find another apprentice.

I assure you that I will bring my son before you. That’s what I have planned on doing all along. As I told you before, I plan on freezing him in carbonate, and then taking him to you.

I have tested the process on Han Solo now, and he is alive and in perfect hibernation. This means that it will be safe for my son. I will capture the rest of Luke’s friends and have my stormtroopers escort them to my ship so that they can be dealt with correctly. Meanwhile, I have set a trap for Luke. I have received word that he has just landed here, and my officers will lure him towards this chamber. My current plan is to have them led towards this room, but have them go through another door that locks right after they go through. That way Luke will have no choice but come in here and face me. I have reason to believe that he is very eager to fight me. He’ll fall into the freezing pit, and then I will take him to you.

Earlier in the letter you made it sound as if you were going to actually be on the Death Star…and later you said you were headed towards Endor, where the Death Star is being built. Where would you like me to bring Luke? To the Death Star or to Endor? I was aware that the Death Star’s shield generator was being built on Endor.

I am glad that you see the wisdom of having Luke help me hunt down the last remaining Jedi. I also believe that it will take both of us to turn the boy. Obi-Wan has made quite an impression on him, so we will have to go against that. I am sure Yoda was not good for him either.

You said that you “have set things in motion that will ensure our complete and final victor over those forces that still dare to oppose the Empire.” Since I am your servant, I was wondering if you might clear up the meaning of that for me. I mean I am not up to date with your plans.

As I said before, my son will join us or die, my master.



Your servant and apprentice,
Darth Vader
