[Not long after this.

At first glance, it appears to be Maketh holding the phone. It's her usual uniform, perfectly ironed, hair pinned up in a severe bun. She's standing outside the guardpost, rifle at her side. Everything looks as it ought to except for a single detail. The blue sash that all the guardsmen wear as a symbol of their position is nowhere to be seen.

Oh, and ignore the spray of blood across her chest. That's not important at all.]

Hello, citizens. I fear this experiment in democracy has gone on a little too long. It's high time to dispense with the nonsense and remember where we ought to stand. And what we are.

[She smiles.]

You needn't worry. The Empire loves all his children. All he asks is your loyalty.

[She pauses, glancing back at the guardpost.]

I'm terribly sorry about the mess, of course. But civilization always comes with a price. A gesture was necessary.

[Her tone hardens.]

Guardsmen, report in immediately. I want this under control.

[The double gives him her very best smile.]

My dear General. At least one person here has sense.

They simply don't have any way of understanding of the Empire and what the Emperor has done for the galaxy.

It's a pity.

[mismanagement]

Precisely. Someone must educate them.

[Or just murder everyone who disagrees.]

There was a reason many worlds chose to remain under Imperial rule. They prospered under the Empire and it was because of the Empire that these worlds were able to recover from the damage of the Clone Wars.

[Murder always works.]

A shame so many fell to the machinations of anarchists and murderers. The Empire is the only force of stability in the galaxy. Without order and control, we are nothing. And we have the potential to be so much...more. Don't you agree, General?

Of course. That's why I wiped away the Republic. The senators were willing to turn their back on the outer systems and let them fall prey to warlords like the Hutts in favor of enriching themselves instead.

It was horrible to witness it. The galaxy deserves better.

The Republic was weak and corrupt. It had to be purged. For the good of the galaxy.

[Her eyes are bright and a little wild. The double fully believes everything she's saying.]

We will make it better.

[Video]

[therewillbeorder]

We will, I have no doubt of that. The Empire will always endure.

[He had been tasked with that burden since he was 5 years old and now he made it happen. Despite Starkiller's loss, the feeling of accomplishing what no one, not even Palpatine, had remained strong with him.]

May our glory be eternal.

[The Empire will outlast all of them. It's about so much more than any one individual. It's about building the best possible world for their future generations. And should there be sacrifices along the way, that's only to be expected. Nothing worthy was ever built without a little blood to ease the way.]
