Governor Tarkin. I should have expected to find you holding Vader's leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board. Charming to the last. You don't know how hard I found it... signing the order to terminate your life. I'm surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. Princess Leia, before your execution... I would like you to be my guest at a ceremony... that will make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the emperor now. The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin... the more star systems will slip through your fingers. Not after we demonstrate the power of this station. In a way, you have determined the choice of the planet... that'll be destroyed first. Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the rebel base... I have chosen to test this station's destructive power... on your home planet of Alderaan.

There's no one on board, sir. According to the log, the crew abandoned ship right after takeoff.

17,000. Those guys must really be desperate. This could really save my neck. Get back to the ship, get it ready.

Can you stand? We've gotta get out of here before the Sandpeople return. I don't think I can make it. You go on, Master Luke. There's no sense in you risking yourself on my account. I'm done for.
