1
00:01:01,076 --> 00:01:03,886
These designs allow for
increased maneuverability

2
00:01:03,910 --> 00:01:05,660
and lower fuel consumption.

3
00:01:06,285 --> 00:01:11,094
And most important, shields
to better protect your pilots

4
00:01:11,118 --> 00:01:13,993
and keep them on the field of
battle for longer intervals.

5
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:21,136
Aside from the cost, which
would be astronomical,

6
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,410
how feasible is the production
of these star ships?

7
00:01:25,368 --> 00:01:28,094
My base of operations
is on Corvus,

8
00:01:28,118 --> 00:01:31,636
a planet ripe with raw
goods and materials,

9
00:01:31,660 --> 00:01:34,243
as are many of the planets
in that star system.

10
00:01:35,326 --> 00:01:37,636
Thank you for your
presentation, Magistrate.

11
00:01:37,660 --> 00:01:42,993
Unfortunately, we will not be moving
forward on this deal with you.

12
00:01:46,368 --> 00:01:47,451
Why is that?

13
00:01:48,326 --> 00:01:51,177
When your plans for these
advanced star fighters

14
00:01:51,201 --> 00:01:53,261
first came to our attention,

15
00:01:53,285 --> 00:01:56,344
they were causing quite
a stir in some circles.

16
00:01:56,368 --> 00:01:59,052
Not because of
their unique design.

17
00:01:59,076 --> 00:02:02,052
Our interest was
never in your plans.

18
00:02:02,076 --> 00:02:06,993
These fertile systems, however,
now those are interesting.

19
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:11,910
We will be there in short order
to take what is rightfully ours.

20
00:02:13,993 --> 00:02:17,993
I suggest you return to your
world and prepare for our arrival.

21
00:02:31,576 --> 00:02:33,826
This is sophisticated work.

22
00:02:39,701 --> 00:02:41,927
You've changed the
engine manifold.

23
00:02:41,951 --> 00:02:43,035
Why?

24
00:02:43,618 --> 00:02:46,344
The interior twin ion
engines are inefficient

25
00:02:46,368 --> 00:02:48,285
when you're using
that much power.

26
00:02:48,951 --> 00:02:50,201
It's simple logic.

27
00:02:51,576 --> 00:02:53,969
I suppose the Empire is
going to steal my ideas,

28
00:02:53,993 --> 00:02:55,910
as well as my resources.

29
00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:59,386
No.

30
00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:02,660
But I am curious to know about
the mind that came up with them.

31
00:03:03,618 --> 00:03:05,201
I don't understand why.

32
00:03:05,868 --> 00:03:08,594
My superior sends
me to these meetings

33
00:03:08,618 --> 00:03:12,951
to search for people
with a particular vision.

34
00:03:13,535 --> 00:03:16,285
However, I have a
question for you.

35
00:03:18,035 --> 00:03:22,011
Why is it that you want to lend
your substantial talents and vision

36
00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:23,368
to the Empire?

37
00:03:24,451 --> 00:03:26,451
Why, for the glory of
the Empire, of course.

38
00:03:27,993 --> 00:03:29,076
I see.

39
00:03:30,951 --> 00:03:33,118
Thank you for your
time, Magistrate.

40
00:04:37,743 --> 00:04:38,910
Were you successful?

41
00:04:39,660 --> 00:04:40,761
No.

42
00:04:40,785 --> 00:04:43,701
But you promised us
work and prosperity.

43
00:04:44,326 --> 00:04:48,660
The Empire wants only your
resources. Not your people.

44
00:04:49,493 --> 00:04:50,910
Not my ideas.

45
00:04:52,410 --> 00:04:55,469
You said the Empire would
help to change things.

46
00:04:55,493 --> 00:04:56,886
We trusted you.

47
00:04:56,910 --> 00:04:58,826
Put our lives in your hands.

48
00:04:59,576 --> 00:05:02,076
When I found your
village, you were nothing.

49
00:05:02,743 --> 00:05:06,636
Just one of a thousand
backwater worlds rotting away.

50
00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:08,552
I built your fortifications.

51
00:05:08,576 --> 00:05:11,302
I gave you strength to
control the local systems.

52
00:05:11,326 --> 00:05:13,802
And we let you run our lives.

53
00:05:13,826 --> 00:05:15,636
We worked for that success.

54
00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:17,469
You promised us wealth.

55
00:05:17,493 --> 00:05:19,052
We sacrificed for you.

56
00:05:19,076 --> 00:05:21,302
You lied, Magistrate.

57
00:05:21,326 --> 00:05:24,052
Everything comes at a cost.

58
00:05:24,076 --> 00:05:25,951
Including failure.

59
00:05:30,701 --> 00:05:32,094
Failure! Witch!

60
00:05:32,118 --> 00:05:35,177
What will we do? You
promised us more. Liar!

61
00:05:35,201 --> 00:05:37,285
What will we do? You owe us!

62
00:05:47,785 --> 00:05:50,785
Witch!

63
00:05:53,660 --> 00:05:56,076
They're all willing
to turn on me.

64
00:05:57,701 --> 00:06:00,701
After everything
I've done for them.

65
00:06:03,701 --> 00:06:05,785
These are not my people.

66
00:06:09,326 --> 00:06:10,993
How could they ever be?

67
00:07:15,701 --> 00:07:17,368
- Call the guards.
- No.

68
00:07:50,035 --> 00:07:53,094
Who sent you?

69
00:07:53,118 --> 00:07:54,951
Who sent you?

70
00:07:56,410 --> 00:07:58,493
Well done, Magistrate.

71
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,826
Thank you, Rukh.
That will be all.

72
00:08:06,201 --> 00:08:07,636
Forgive the theatrics,

73
00:08:07,660 --> 00:08:10,743
but we had to make sure you were
capable of handling yourself.

74
00:08:11,326 --> 00:08:14,993
- You're testing me?
- You will understand in a moment.

75
00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:17,410
Now, if you please.

76
00:08:26,951 --> 00:08:29,201
I look forward to
working with you.

77
00:08:37,326 --> 00:08:40,410
History remembers the
witches of Dathomir.

78
00:08:46,076 --> 00:08:51,969
I was curious to witness a
display of your particular skills.

79
00:08:51,993 --> 00:08:54,802
Why not experience
them firsthand?

80
00:08:54,826 --> 00:08:57,076
Oh, you misunderstand.

81
00:08:57,660 --> 00:09:02,535
My interest is based on
admiration and ambition.

82
00:09:03,410 --> 00:09:04,618
Who are you?

83
00:09:05,285 --> 00:09:06,701
Admiral Thrawn.

84
00:09:07,951 --> 00:09:11,761
Captain Pellaeon told me the
finer details of your presentation

85
00:09:11,785 --> 00:09:16,511
and how you were
upended by Moff Isdain.

86
00:09:16,535 --> 00:09:19,094
Isdain is a shortsighted fool.

87
00:09:19,118 --> 00:09:20,469
I agree.

88
00:09:20,493 --> 00:09:23,719
The Empire is a
magnificent construct.

89
00:09:23,743 --> 00:09:26,993
However, it's not without
its vulnerabilities.

90
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,969
While many of my colleagues
think on a grand scale,

91
00:09:30,993 --> 00:09:36,719
they often overlook where problems
begin, and they always start small.

92
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:38,802
You speak of the
growing rebellion.

93
00:09:38,826 --> 00:09:43,493
A sickness which kills
both common man and king.

94
00:09:44,243 --> 00:09:48,802
We'll need minds like yours
if we are to eradicate them.

95
00:09:48,826 --> 00:09:54,511
Isdain made it clear the Empire wants
only this planet and its resources,

96
00:09:54,535 --> 00:09:56,201
not my mind.

97
00:09:56,743 --> 00:09:58,160
Shortsighted indeed.

98
00:09:59,243 --> 00:10:03,302
Your designs are brilliant,
but not cost-effective.

99
00:10:03,326 --> 00:10:06,802
Many in the Empire will
trade lives for profit.

100
00:10:06,826 --> 00:10:10,719
Over time, this will create a
weak and disillusioned military.

101
00:10:10,743 --> 00:10:13,219
The Empire will slowly crumble.

102
00:10:13,243 --> 00:10:14,660
Why do you care?

103
00:10:15,326 --> 00:10:18,136
Or more to the
point, why should I?

104
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,993
I believe this is a question
Captain Pellaeon already asked you.

105
00:10:24,451 --> 00:10:26,118
Your answer was a lie.

106
00:10:27,451 --> 00:10:31,761
Men like Isdain join out
of greed and self-interest.

107
00:10:31,785 --> 00:10:33,368
Others out of fear.

108
00:10:33,993 --> 00:10:36,076
All with ambitions of power.

109
00:10:36,868 --> 00:10:38,201
Answer again.

110
00:10:38,951 --> 00:10:42,868
Why do you seek Imperial favor?

111
00:10:52,910 --> 00:10:54,076
Witch!

112
00:10:55,326 --> 00:10:56,326
Failure!

113
00:10:57,576 --> 00:10:58,660
Revenge.

114
00:11:00,285 --> 00:11:03,511
Years ago, my people
were all but destroyed.

115
00:11:03,535 --> 00:11:08,118
Our culture, our beliefs,
are fading into memory.

116
00:11:09,326 --> 00:11:14,927
Yes, I seek power to ensure my
future, to destroy my enemies.

117
00:11:14,951 --> 00:11:18,094
My anger gives me strength,

118
00:11:18,118 --> 00:11:23,118
and it is that strength
that I offer the Empire.

119
00:11:25,326 --> 00:11:26,743
Offer accepted.

120
00:11:29,451 --> 00:11:30,886
Isdain?

121
00:11:30,910 --> 00:11:34,302
No, that is a
portion of my fleet.

122
00:11:34,326 --> 00:11:38,326
They'll be at your disposal
to begin your operation.

123
00:11:39,785 --> 00:11:40,951
What does this mean?

124
00:11:41,785 --> 00:11:42,785
Is it good?

125
00:11:43,660 --> 00:11:44,660
No.

126
00:11:45,326 --> 00:11:46,826
It means she won.

127
00:11:50,368 --> 00:11:52,285
Long live the Empire.
