Note 2

Esteemed Master Jedi:

Greetings.

I must confess that I am a bit perplexed by the general tone of your message, and that I find it…I know no better phrase than perhaps, "mildly insulting."

Although I am indeed overwhelmed by the honor which has been bestowed upon me in being elevated to this position by my colleagues, as well as anxious to begin what promises to be a very challenging term of office, the assumption that I need to be asked to take these responsibilities seriously, especially in light of what has just happened on my own home planet…words fail me.

I do very much wish to be and remain on good terms with the Jedi Order, and therefore of course with the High Council. Perhaps you and Master Yoda could come for a short "get-acquainted" breakfast in my office? I believe it is so very important for our relationship to start off, as it were, on the right foot. Please, name a day, if you will.

Yours very sincerely,

Palpatine

Supreme Chancellor, Galactic Senate
