Chancellor Palpatine It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. I love democracy... I love the Republic. The power you give me I will lay down when this crisis has abated. And as my first act with this new authority, I will create a Grand Army of the Republic to counter the increasing threats of the Separatists. Darth Sidious You did well lord tyranus. The clone wars has just begun. Anakin Skywalker Just being around her again is intoxicating.
