[stepping down on one knee in front of the Emperor's hologram]

What is thy bidding, my master?

There is a great disturbance in the Force.

I have felt it.

We have a new enemy, the young Rebel who destroyed the Death Star. I have no doubt that this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.

How is that possible?

Search your feelings, Lord Vader. You know it to be true. [pauses] He could destroy us.

He is 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.

[intrigued]

Yes... He would be a great asset. Can it be done?

He will join us or die, master.
