"Comrades of the Empire!" "Today, we stand not as scattered systems, not as bickering factions, not as the fractured ruins of a decaying Republic—but as one people, one purpose, one Empire!" "It was chaos that reigned before us! Weak politicians groveling in endless debate, Jedi mystics poisoning the minds of the young with ancient lies, and alien filth seizing power in the vacuum of indecision! We saw this disease—and we crushed it beneath the boot of order!" "We built a new galaxy—strong, pure, unified! Under the will of our glorious Emperor, the weak have been swept away, and the strong have risen! We do not ask for peace, we enforce it. We do not ask for loyalty, we command it. We do not negotiate with traitors—we eliminate them!" “Freedom?” They whimper of freedom? Freedom gave you the Clone Wars. Freedom gave you starvation on the Mid Rim. Freedom let pirates rule your skies and corrupt Jedi rule your minds! No! No more! Now you have security, strength, greatness! "We are the sword in the dark. We are the storm that silences rebellion. We are the voice of the true Galactic destiny!" "Look upon our works: fleets of steel, planets aligned in perfect obedience, the Death Star itself—a monument to our resolve! One weapon... one world... one Empire!" "And to those who resist... to the cowards and saboteurs hiding behind their flags and their lies... we see you. And we are coming." "There is no future but ours. There is no truth but the Empire’s. There is no power greater than this glorious machine of unity!" "Long live the Empire!" (crowd erupts in thunderous, synchronized chant) "Long live the Emperor!" "Long live Victory!"
All Hail Lord Vader
