Ah, Empire Day!
A time when we all set aside our daily drudgeries
and pause to reflect on
the greatness of me!
Happy Empire Day.
Yay, me! Yay, presents!
Give them to me now! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
"Galaxy's Best Emperor."
"Best"? Vader, I'm the galaxy's only emperor.
So saying I'm "the best" isn't saying much, now, is it?
Well, from a certain point of view...
Oh, don't give me that Kenobi rubbish!
Want to give me a real gift?
I've got a report of the Rebels gathering near Mygeeto.
Go check on that.
Fine.
What I really want is the Kyber Saber!
Where is it? Where's Naare?
Master, I've located the last Kyber Saber crystal.
I'm en route to it now.
Okay, okay. Good, good. I like where this is going.
But is there a catch, hmm?
Can this possibly go wrong in any way whatsoever?
- No. - The Rebels can't stop us?
- No. - Skywalker?
No. -How about that boy? Rodan?
Rogan? R...
Rowan. And no, he can't stop us.
Nobody can. Splendid.
This will be an Empire Day to remember!
Ugh. Really? What? Was there a sale?
Is he... He is.
Incredible.
Rowan! Are you okay?
Yeah, just... not used to focusing for that long.
It's a new thing for me.
You did it, little brother! Now we can go after Naare.
Except... we'll never get to her before she finds that last crystal.
Maybe. But that's not my plan.
This is the place.
Naare, before you go in there, ask yourself, is this who you really are?
An evil Sith?
Or are you just a misunderstood soul
who's never learned to love herself?
Mmm... nope. Evil.
Ow!
There. The final Kyber Saber crystal!
Oh, the power.
It's like nothing I've ever felt before.
Oh, I like this!
And I most certainly do not.
And then Naare will hand the Kyber Saber right to me.
Rowan, you know that's crazy, right?
Extremely, ridiculously crazy.
We're three kids talking about the entire fate of the galaxy,
so this was crazy from the get-go.
I guess we play the hand we're dealt?
Fine.
But first we're gonna deal ourselves a wild card.
It's magnificent!
Exhilarating!
I've never felt so powerful!
Naare! Where's my Kyber Saber?
I want to wipe out the rebellion with that thing before dinner.
And everybody else I don't like.
What's the name of that guy in accounting I don't like?
Is it Paul? Or Pete? Hey, wait a moment.
Is that... Are you using my Kyber Saber?
I wouldn't even let Vader touch it,
never mind a second-rate Sith like you!
My dear Emperor,
I am holding the most powerful weapon in the galaxy.
So let me ask you this... Why should I give it to you?
Uh, gonna go with... blind loyalty?
Is this a trick question?
I will bring you the Kyber Saber, Master.
And then I will use it to tear you into a thousand pieces!
Um...
Naare, I might not have chosen my words as carefully as I should have.
Saying it back in my head, yeah, I can see where...
When I arrive on Coruscant, I will no longer be your servant.
I will be your empress!
A-ha. This might be a problem.
Empire Day.
Half the galaxy is here.
You think it's gonna be a problem getting into the Imperial Palace?
Yeah. It's gonna be a problem.
Listen, I'm on board with the overall plan,
but I just want to go on record saying I'm not excited about this part.
The Empire is on the ground and in the sky.
So underground is the only way.
Rowan, do it.
Ugh! The smells!
Work for us. Not even stormtroopers could stand this stench.
But droids don't have noses!
Whoa!
I've got this!
Zander?
You okay?
Who knew saving the galaxy would be this glamorous?
Oh! How cute. A welcoming committee.
The Emperor never appreciated my skills.
But look at me now!
Yeah, the Emperor's gonna love you.
Come on! Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
His lack of fear sometimes worries me.
Join the club.
Let's go, Zander.
Don't look down. Don't look down.
Don't look down. Don't look down. Don't look...
Down!
Zander!
Thanks, Rowan.
Isn't this exciting, Roger?
You're a witness to history!
Yeah. And I'd give anything for a pair of hands to cover my eyes.
Whoa!
Oh, why did stupid Vader decide he had to go to Mygeeto now?
Master.
I've located the Rebel fleet and I am about to crush...
- Never mind that! Get back to Coruscant! -But I...
Hurry! Fine.
Okay, we're in. So far, so...
Hey! What are you doing here?
You know, normally I'd try to dazzle you two with some fancy double talk,
but today we just don't have time.
What? We're on a timetable.
So... How do I look?
- Um... - What? It worked on Naboo.
Yeah. But those guys were certified laserbrains.
And Naare is anything but.
You're next, Palpatine!
We've analyzed her attack, sir, and there is a danger.
Should we have your ship standing...
Do I look like Grand Moff Tarkin to you?
Heck yes, we should evacuate! Get me out of here!
Okay, phase two.
To get the Emperor out of his throne room,
we'll call in a Rebel attack, or fire, or some kind of...
Emergency! Comin' through!
Waah!
You...
guys think of everything.
Ha-ha! A decoy!
The old Amidala switcheroo, eh?
Brilliant.
"Decoy"?
Guys? I don't think you need to call in anything.
Palpatine left all on his own. Huh.
Things are going our way. For once.
She's here.
Wait! Could you flip me over?
I can't see anything.
What? What?
How's the view now?
Actually, I like what I see.
