[mismanagement]

My apologies, sir. [But she's smiling just a little as she says it.]

It's often said that the Force has a will of its own. I suppose it makes sense.

[She pauses.]

Did you know your mother? It's said that you entered the Jedi order when you were older, but nothing was written about her.

[prophesiedone]

It does. When it seeks a grave imbalance, it has a way of...rectifying it. [Sometimes with random babies.]

Yes. [His amusement is snuffed out like a candle flame.] Her name was Shmi Skywalker. She was...wonderful and my world until the Jedi took me.

[mismanagement]

History has shown us as much. [She hesitates again.] I know it is not my place. But -- how does the Force determine where the balance should lie? How does it judge what is right or wrong?

I am sorry. I am sure -- she was a strong woman.

[prophesiedone]

I'm not sure the Force knows right or wrong. There needs to be Dark and Light or nothing exists. The Force desires for there to be a balance between the two, but it doesn't always work out that way.

[Such as in his case.]

...the strongest. She was a slave, but she raised me in a good home. I never felt unsafe.

[mismanagement]

[She doesn't understand. But perhaps that's simply the way of things.]

No, I suppose it doesn't.

[She's quiet again, watching him.]

Then she was brave as well. You honor her with all you have done. My parents -- gave a great deal, so I would avoid that fate. You will make it right, sir. Where the Empire went wrong, you will right it.

[prophesiedone]

[A lot of factors go into it and he's horrible at explaining...anything. His life and his decisions in particular. A lot of what he does is based on fear and instinct.]

I couldn't save her. [Maketh's belief - whether feigned or real - does mean something to him.] No one will die like she did. I'll find justice...and keep the peace.

[mismanagement]

I hope not, sir. [Whether things truly can be changed is unclear. But there is no harm in acting as though they could be. She's been afraid of Skywalker before, knows very well what he's capable of. Best to keep him pointed in a specific direction, with a task just monumental enough to keep his attention.

And if he does succeed?

Then the universe benefits.]

I only ask -- that it not be a warlord's peace, like the Emperor made it.

[prophesiedone]

The Emperor is selfish and he doesn't care about...individuals. I know what it's like to be a slave, to be looked down upon and -

I can make it better. And with Padmé at my side, you'll have the best of everything. She's so good at politics and diplomacy.

[While he can handle the military aspects and the harsher punishments for those that disturb the peace.]
