 | | How the Emperor gained mastery of the dark side of the Force remains a mystery, but it was through his influence that Obi-Wan 's apprentice later became the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader. |
 | | or a time, the Emperor believed that nothing could seriously threaten his rule: his old enemy, Mon Mothma, was clever and strong, and the Rebel Alliance was growing, but without the Force, neither could ever become a serious threat. |
 | | From its viewports, Palpatine has a clear view of what he expects to be a rout of the Rebel forces and an end to the Rebellion itself. |
