[Private to Count Dooku.]

I am ready to move forward.

If you think you can handle me.

[/]

[Private to Luke Skywalker & Kylo Ren.]

I made a speeder. It doesn't hover far off of the ground, but with the right propulsion, it could. Now I just need to account for atmospheric changes or we will suffocate before we get very high.

The Force could get us off the ground if we really needed to go that route. I need to know what kind of control you have and how reliable it is.

[Family meeting?]

[/]

No one really thinks about it, but stars do die. I saw one once and I will never forget it.

[Ominous words, but that dead emptiness is always part of him.]

On that note, I do not plan to join them any time soon. If you come across...parts...of thugs, well, they had it coming, didn't they?

Duties are pretty empty, General. You need more than them in your life or you'll become boring.

[Boring is the worst.]

Really? Must be why I like him.

I'm not concerned with being boring and if I'm remembered, it wouldn't be for that.

It certainly explains a lot.

Are you sure? That would be a terrible legacy. [As if he is one to talk.]

It's a shame we had to meet this way.

I created another legacy for myself.

It is but he admires Vader a great deal.

[Understatement of the year, given the whole helmet thing.]

Do tell.

Poor kid. I'm not sure who I become in the future, but I'm me for now.

I wielded the power of stars in a way no else could to bring peace to the galaxy.

I think he would be the best one to tell you about Vader.

Did it work? Did you find peace? It should have been in place before you were born. [If Sidious hadn't fouled it up.]

A puppet, controlled by Emperor Sidious. I don't really need to know more.

I was in the process of that when I came here. It should have but Palpatine wasn't capable of or willing to do what I did.

Really? He never struck me as someone who backed down from doing anything.

I never thought so too but I could never understand why he didn't pursue this project during his life. He never took that final step to wiping out the last of the rebels.

[Death Stars are so lame.]

He likes his games. That's my only guess. Sidious never simply eats his food; he toys with it first.

That was his mistake then. While he was playing his games, his food bit him and ran off.

No one is invincible. You get too complacent and bad things happen.

I think, in the end, he forgot that. That was his downfall.

Learn from the past, General. There's nothing wrong with being proud, but don't let it blind you.

Of course. I have no intention of repeating his or Tarkin's mistakes.

What were Tarkin's mistakes?

In the end it came down to a stubborn arrogance. It made him underestimate the enemy that led to his demise.

I've seen that before. It never ends well. [Yet what are you doing right now, Anakin?]

[Oh Anakin...]

I'm sure you would not make that same mistake.

[just he's not going to be the one to tell Anakin what happens to Vader. Best let someone else do that.]

You know if that's true or not. I know you don't like confrontations, General.

I merely choose my confrontations wisely. I know your fate but I'm sure you would rather hear things from your grandson.
