You don’t mind that the war will go on and on? Palpatine could have prevented it. Now it’s up to people like you to end it. Tarkin nodded. And so we shall.
Under the rule of the ancient Sith, the future of the galaxy had been in the able hands of many dark sovereigns. Now responsibility for maintaining order rested only with Darth Sidious.
The Jedi were certainly aware of the tremendous potential, but they restrained themselves.Precisely what they did with the Force, as some have said. If they had made use of their full powers, the war...
The Jedi thought of the cellular organelles as symbionts, but to Plagueis midi-chlorians were interlopers, running interference for the Force and standing in the way of a being’s ability to contact th...
The Force tries to resist the callings of ravenous spirits; therefore it must be broken and made a beast of burden. It must be made to answer to one’s will.
Teem showed him a bitter smile. Perhaps you had no direct hand in Kim’s death, but I suspect that you were complicit. He paused, then added, That little speech you gave in the Senate … I understand th...
Tarkin had lost all sense of how long he had been standing in the viewport bay when Vader’s fury brought him back to the moment. This freighter is to be tractored aboard the Executrix for a thorough i...
Sidious bowed his head in deference. In the annals of Sith history, you will be known as Plagueis the Wise. Plagueis quirked a cunning smile. You flatter me.
Seated in the copilot’s chair, Tarkin watched Vader expectantly as the Predator emerged from hyperspace. Full ahead, the Dark Lord said. Tarkin was glad to oblige, though he saw nothing through the vi...
Propelled by fear or hatred, even a Jedi can pass beyond the constraints of the Order’s teachings and discover power of a more profound sort. But no Jedi who arrives at that place, who has risen above...
Palpatine stared at the floor, then genuflected, uttering, It is my will to join my destiny forever with the Order of the Sith Lords. Plagueis extended his left hand to touch him on the crown of the h...
Moral principles regarding natural selection seemed to be something they had left on the floor of what was now Kamino’s planetwide ocean, which perhaps explained why they were no more reluctant about...
In the throne room, he had tried to puzzle out which among the Emperor's cabal of advisers, human or otherwise, were aware that Palpatine was a Sith Lord who had manipulated the entire war and eradica...
If in the end Erso’s research moves us closer to engineering a weapon for the battle station, then you will have not only my gratitude, but also that of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and the Republic i...
I think it's leading us on a wild gundark chase.
How Plagueis would have mocked him for allowing himself to become personally involved in such a seemingly trivial matter; but then his Master had never foreseen that his onetime apprentice would becom...
His father placed his elbows on the table and leaned toward him. We need to know if you are simply ordinary or larger than life. To the best of his ability, he mulled over the notion of being larger t...
But Ashla is a perversion, he went on, for the dark has always preceded the light. The original idea was to capture the power of the Force and make it subservient to the will of sentient life. The anc...
