Again Sith Mind

This is a look at the dark thoughts of Darth Vader after Episode IV and before Episode V. This is not in any particular relation to the first chapter in this section but I figured I would keep them together because they are along the same lines. It does feed of Episodes 1, 2, and 3 though for background information into his thoughts.

I wasn't surprised to see Obi Wan on the Death Star, I was surprised that it didn't happen sooner, but the Jedi have always been know for their incredible patience. Patience is one of the things that I never understood about the Jedi, I don't consider patience a virtue, I consider it an unnecessary burden that I will not tolerate. Something has obviously changed for Obi Wan to bring himself out in the open like that, he must have been prepared to die knowing that I have long since grown much more powerful than he ever was. Either way it doesn't matter because I took pleasure in killing him regardless of the circumstances. I always take pleasure in killing Jedi but it felt great to put my lightsaber through Obi Wan. There is nothing better that striking down someone with your lightsaber, I thoroughly enjoy it. Once again though he uses the Jedi trickery and vanishes in his death as if to leave a mystery about whether he is actually dead or not. That must have been some sort of show for those that he had with him, so that they can go and tell stories to the rebels of his bravery and bring a new hope to their pathetic rebellion. None of Obi Wan's tricks will help anyone now. At last I got revenge for what Obi Wan did to me and putting me in this horrible suit. I am more machine than man and that is Obi Wan's entire fault. It felt good to get revenge on Obi Wan, that hatred has burning inside of me for a very long time now, it still burns inside me after his death, but that is the true nature of the dark side anyways. I cannot get rid of the hatred in me, I don't want to, the hatred feeds my powers in the dark side of the force.

I sensed one presence in Obi Wans company that was interesting though. It was a familiar presence but at the same time I knew that I had never sensed it before, very similar to the presence of that damn Princess Leia but different. I sensed him again when he was flying that spacecraft that destroyed the Death Star. It was not by any coincidence that he destroyed the Death Star, I sensed the force is strong with him, very strong. When the force is very strong with someone and they haven't yet mastered the use of it, sometimes the force will guide the events that take place in your life. A lot of those type of situations happened to me at a young age. This one though definitely has a lot of potential with the force, but keeping company with Obi Wan was already leading him down the wrong track. I will have to look into him and sway him to the dark side With luck Obi Wan hasn't completely moved that young man over to the Jedi order yet, but me striking down Obi Wan might get in the way of him believing anything I say about how the Jedi order is full of lies and deception. On second thought, that's good he saw me strike down Obi Wan. He had a very disturbed look upon his face when he saw that I had killed Obi Wan, I will use that hatred to turn him to the dark side. He'll probably be more than willing to fight me after seeing me strike down his master; the emperor will be pleased to have a new apprentice with such potential. He is a good pilot, he bested me with his friends help at the death star, I can respect his piloting skills. I've always had respect for those who have skills with the force and use it 

to help them be better pilots. It shows a lot of qualities about you when you can be a master pilot as well as having a mastery over the force. He flew that aircraft pretty well during the attack on the Death Star, I see a lot of potential in him. I still would have killed him though if it wasn't for the help he got from his rebel friends, he got lucky this time I will have to see how he fare on a one on one battle.

The emperor will not be pleased that I let the Death Star get destroyed under my watch though, even though it brought to light the death of Obi Wan and the appearance of this potentially powerful young man. The empire has been building the Death Star for over fifteen years now and its destruction will not be taken lightly. I most certainly will be punished by the emperor for my failure, I have failed him many times now but I fear none have been as big a failure as this one. I will make it a point to kill many rebels for the actions they took on the Death Star. Before I regarded the rebels as a minor nuisance but they have obviously proved their resilience now. I will hunt them down from planet to planet and make examples out of them for the entire empire to see. If the rebels thought I was a feared lord of the Sith before, they won't dare face my wrath now, my hatred for their insolence knows no bounds, I will prove this to the emperor and the entire empire. The rebel presence will not be tolerated in the empire, and their alliance with what is left of the long dead Jedi order will only feed my hunger for more of their deaths. Anyone who allies with the Jedi will stand to face the wrath of Darth Vader.
