May the dark side be with you!

Darth Vader knew the difference between a dream and a Force vision, and this was no dream. Luke Skywalker stood before him, declaring that with Emperor Palpatine dead, the galaxy was now theirs. But something was wrong. The air thickened, the shadows deepened, and then came the familiar cackle of the Emperor. Flames erupted, and Vader was powerless. The nightmare tightened its grip, until it felt all too real.

When he woke, panic gnawed at him. Sith Lords didn’t dream—or so he thought. Was this a glimpse of the future? A warning? Or had the Emperor invaded his mind? For the first time in years, fear coursed through him—not of death, but of the Emperor’s unbreakable control, even in his most private thoughts. The fire, the laughter, the helplessness—it was more than a dream. It was a terrifying reminder that as long as the Emperor lived, he would never be free.
