Coin Story
Supreme ruler of the Empire, the evil Emperor Palpatineā¢ carefully manipulated his way through the bureaucratic corruption of the Old Republic to gain control of the Galactic Senateā¢ and assume complete authority. Declaring martial law throughout the galaxy, and ruling through the massive military forces of the Imperial navy, Palpatine transformed the Republicā¢ into his personal empire. Instilling fear into civilisations and species throughout the vast corners of the galaxy, the Emperor, twisted by greed, ambition and power, destroys all who challenge him. When his Sithā¢ apprentice Darth Vaderā¢ proposes to turn his son Luke Skywalkerā¢ over to the dark side, the Emperor realizes what a powerful asset Luke could be. Vader and the Emperor lure young Skywalker into the depths of the Imperial forces aboard the Empireās battle station where Luke must confront his father in a fateful battle of good and evil. Despite the Emperorās attempts, Luke cannot be turned to the dark side and thus must be destroyed. However, it is the Emperor who is destroyed ā by the hands of his own apprentice Darth Vader. Vader sacrifices himself to save his son in an act of redemption that is a testament to the triumphant power of good over evil.
