Oh God, my uncle. How am I ever gonna explain this? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons.

What is thy bidding, my master? There is a great disturbance in the Force. I have felt it. We have a new enemy – Luke Skywalker. Yes, my master. He could destroy us. He’s just a boy. Obi-Wan can no longer help him. The Force is strong with him.

The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi. If he could be turned, he would become a powerful ally. Yes. Yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done? He will join us or die, my master.
