Round 1
“Lord Vader! We have captured a vessel we suspect is carrying the plans of this battle station. Princess Leia, member of the Imperial Senate is aboard”, reported the guard.
“Search the ship thoroughly! Find the stolen plans! Bring the Princess to me!”
Vader brought Princess Leia and her two droids C3PO and R2-D2 before Grand Admiral Tarkin, Supreme Commander of the armed forces of the Empire, the man infamous for his ruthlessness.
“Princess Leia, we have evidence you are member of the rebellion against the Empire. I am authorised by the Emperor to offer you an amnesty if you agree to cooperate, surrender the plans of this battle station and tell us the location of the rebel base.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about Tarkin. I am a member of the Imperial Senate. I won’t permit this outrageous behaviour of yours any longer. The Senate and the Emperor will hear about this.”
“Perhaps you would care to tell this to the Emperor in person?”
“The Emperor is here?”
“Yes. You seem surprised.”
Darth Vader felt a great disturbance in the Force.
“Admiral Tarkin, the Emperor won’t be speaking to Princess Leia.”
“No? And why is that?”
“The Emperor is dead.”

At the same time on a far away planet on the outskirts of the Empire. A gathering of old buddies, Jedi knights Master Yoda, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Master Mace Windu.
“A great disturbance in the Force I feel. Yes I do.”
“Master Yoda, I felt nothing”, replied Obi-Wan.
“Concentrate your thoughts, Master Obi-Wan! Do you feel it now?”
“Yes Master Yoda! I think the Emperor is dead. But how can this be?”
Mace Windu replied. “I don’t think we can find this out using the Force. But maybe Master Yoda can. Who killed him Master Yoda?”
“Difficult to see. Clouded the vision by the Dark Side is.”
“We must proceed with our plan quickly now or Darth Vader might find and corrupt his children. Obi-Wan, you have been keeping an eye on his son. Now is the time for him to be trained. Bring him here, to Master Yoda for training.”
“I’ll come back with him in two months.”

Grand Admiral Tarkin and Darth Vader examined the body of Nuclear Master and found that he had died as a result of a poisoned mechanical dart.
“This must not remain unpunished!!!” Admiral Tarkin was furious. “We are going to show what it means to assassinate the Emperor! Set course for the Alderaan system!”
Admiral Tarkin left. Darth Vader stayed to look more closely. He focused on the dart. Either the dart was set to target the Emperor exclusively, which would indicate a professional assassin working for someone who has money, or it was guided by someone onboard or by the Force.
“Hmm, this doesn’t exclude anyone from the list of suspects”, said Vader to himself and left the room.
