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...
Abraxin had been strong in the dark side during Bane’s lifetime, when it had been aligned with Lord Kaan’s Brotherhood of Darkness, but Plagueis could sense that the power had waned significantly in t...
A Jedi sufficiently strong in the Force can be trained to produce a facsimile, but not true Sith lightning, which, unabated, has the power not only to incapacitate or kill, but to physically transform...
On an actual kyber, which Zerpen had gone to great lengths and cost to acquire. Relatively rare, the so-called living crystals were almost exclusively the property of the Jedi, who seemed to regard th...
Might assign him to Rancit’s former position. We need to tighten our hold over the Outer Systems, the Emperor continued. You will be in charge of that, Moff Tarkin. Or should I say Grand Moff Tarkin....
Don’t need to remind any of you what Tarkin did at the end of the war when there weren’t Jedi around to keep a lid on the violence and retribution. We wouldn’t be aboard this ship otherwise. The Emper...
Where the Jedi courted power, the Sith lusted after it; where the Jedi believed they knew the truth, the Sith possessed it. Owned by the dark side, they ultimately became their knowledge.
We stalk the Force like hunters, rather than surrender like prey to its enigmatic whims.
Vader might very well be Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, whom Tarkin had fought beside during the Clone Wars, and for whom he had developed a grudging appreciation.
Vader approached, drawing and igniting his Sith blade. Shryne blinked blood from his eyes; lifted his lightsaber hand only to realize that he had lost the sword during his fall. Slumping back, he loos...
R2-D2 zithered, then buzzed.
Plagueis pressed his right hand to the right side of his neck to discover that a disk had made off with a considerable hunk of his jawbone and neck, and in its cruel passing had severed his trachea an...
Plagueis extended his left hand to touch him on the crown of the head. Then it is done. From this day forward, the truth of you, now and forever more, will be Sidious.
It was that genuflecting obedience, the steadfast devotion to execute whatever task the Emperor assigned, that had given rise to so many rumors about Vader: that he was a counterpart to the Confederac...
In part, the deep-space mobile battle station was meant to put an end to harassments of any sort, whether driven by greed, political dissent, or revenge for acts committed during the Clone Wars or sin...
If actions were always judged by their consequence, we’d spend half our lives making amends. -Luke Skywalker
Evil? What is that? ...You said you were death itself. Are you evil, then, or are you simply stronger and more awake than others? Who gives more shape to sentient history: the good, who adhere to the...
EFFORTS HAD BEEN MADE BY Coruscanti who cared about such things to preserve some of the structures the B’ankora had built and lived in for more than fifty generations. In the rush to relocate the spec...
