Episode 213: Forcing the Issue

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

The interesting thing is, many PCs really do act this way when interacting with authority figures and rulers.

Transcript

Yoda: ... problems, she is causing.
Palpatine: Yes, I know. Unfortunately she's... unconventional in her approach to diplomacy; and very headstrong.
Palpatine: Thankfully, most of the systems realise an army will just invite war.
Mace Windu: {thoughtful} Ah, so that's what this vote is about.
{Padmé enters}
Yoda: Senator Amidala, good to see you again, it is.
Padmé: You're voting for my army, right?
Palpatine: Alas, the Jedi Council have no votes.
Mace Windu: We don't?
Padmé: Never mind. I'll just order you to create the army anyway, Puppeteen.
Palpatine: As Chancellor, I must respect the will of the Senate, M'Lady.
Padmé: We should have kept the old Chancellor. He really knew how to get things done.
