Chapter 4847 4850 [Establishment of the Galactic Empire]

Second, Palpatine announced the "Republic Reform Act", which would transform the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire from today, and Palpatine naturally became the emperor.

Because at this moment, the Jedi Knights had been defeated, and most of the members of Parliament who opposed him were killed or injured in the previous sneak attack, and the remaining ones were almost all his supporters.

Even if some people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to oppose him at this moment. Therefore, when he declared himself emperor, the entire Republican Parliament not only did not protest, but was silent, and even applauded.

"This is how freedom dies, to thunderous applause," Padmé said to Bail Organa with tears in her eyes.

They had worked hard for two years to convince the senators to tighten Palpatine's power. Now that the war was finally over, Palpatine was going to hand over his power.

But he turned the table over, not only declaring the Jedi Order treason, but also changing the Galactic Republic to the Galactic Empire. From then on, democracy was dead, freedom was dead, and only a dictatorial government remained.

Looking at the arrogant and domineering Emperor Palpatine on the stage, I thought of the kind, amiable, fair and upright Senator Palpatine more than a decade ago.

Padmé was a little dazed for a moment, feeling as if she had a nightmare.

"Padmé, we can't stay here any longer." Organa immediately reminded Padmé, "Once he comes to power, we will be the first group of people he will purge."

Padmé nodded.

The Jedi Order has been slandered as traitors, and she and opposition senators such as Bail Organa may not be able to escape the fate of being framed.

……

Afterwards, Padmé and Organa left the Republic Senate and left Coruscant before Palpatine launched a hunt for them.

"You're right. Palpatine turned against us, the Jedi Order was labeled as traitors, and he changed the Republic into the Empire. Now he is the emperor in name only." Padmé said to Xiang Nan.

At the beginning, Xiang Nan reminded the Jedi Knights to be careful of bullets shot from behind, but unfortunately Master Yoda and Master Windu did not listen. Now a large number of Jedi Knights have died at the hands of the clone soldiers who once fought side by side. It is heartbreaking to think about it.

"What a pity! I should have reminded them earlier." Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "But it's too late to say anything now. We should hurry up and leave here. But we can't go back to Naboo. He may send people to arrest us."

"Then where are we going?" Padmé asked hurriedly upon hearing this.

"Let's go to Tatooine." Xiang Nan said, "It's a wild place, and it's located at the edge of the Milky Way. No matter how long the Empire's arm is, it can't reach there."

Padmé nodded.

She then boarded a spaceship with Shmi, C3PO, and R2D2 to travel to Tatooine.

"It's been a really long time since I last came back. I thought I would never come back again." Looking at the desert planet, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.

Shmi nodded as well.

She had originally thought of leaving Tatooine forever and never coming back, but she didn't expect to come back after going around in circles.

Fortunately, their current identities are very different from before.

Before, they were penniless slaves, but now Xiang Nan has the most wealth in the galaxy. It's just that I don't know if his credit points will still count after the republic's reform.

……

After arriving in Tatooine, Xiang Nan parked the spaceship in the city of Mos Espa.

He then told Shmi and Padmé that he would go find a house first and let them stay on the spaceship for the time being, and then he left the spaceship first.

After leaving the spaceship, Xiang Nan did not rush to find a house. Instead, he first created a mirror clone, and then he asked the clone to find a house. He used the Xuan Ring to open the portal and returned directly to the planet Coruscant. Then he went all the way to the Jedi Temple.

The Jedi Temple, which was once bustling with people, has now become dead silent.

Since Palpatine issued Executive Order 66, the Jedi Order was forced to disband, and all Jedi Knights were hunted down, even the young Jedi apprentices were not spared.

As a result, there was no longer a single living person in the entire Jedi Temple.

After Xiang Nan entered the Jedi Temple, he immediately collected all the information stored in the Jedi Archives.

These data are all stored in electronic or holographic form. They are the accumulation of tens of thousands of years of Jedi Knights and are also the most concentrated place for data in the entire galaxy.

Among them are the training methods of Jedi Knights, the ancient history of the Milky Way, the coordinates of various galaxies, various lost knowledge, and even a Sith holographic recorder that records the ancient secrets of the Sith Knights.

Xiang Nan knew that this knowledge was priceless.

In the original book, after Palpatine became emperor, he secretly collected the information in the Jedi Archives.

Xiang Nan is now one step ahead of him and has emptied the archives first.

At that time, all the accumulation of Jedi for tens of thousands of years will belong to him.

Xiang Nan can also use this opportunity to train himself to become a Jedi Knight.

Although he had absorbed the Sith Warrior skills of Darth Plagueis before, he did not use them because he knew that the dark force could easily lead people to the dark side.

Just like black magic and evil skills, it can easily stimulate the dark side of the human body, causing people to gradually become corrupted and degenerate, and eventually become selfish, evil, cruel, and cold-blooded.

It seems that Anakin Skywalker was originally a helpful, innocent and good boy.

But after becoming Darth Vader and falling to the dark side, he even wanted to kill Padmé, and he showed no mercy to his son Luke Skywalker and daughter Princess Leia.

Therefore, Xiang Nan did not study or research Sith warrior skills. He planned to learn the skills of the Jedi Knight first, get in touch with the light side of the Force, and then practice both light and dark like Luke Skywalker.

……

After emptying the entire Jedi Temple, Xiang Nan returned to Tatooine.

At this time, the mirror clone has also prepared the house.

The family will not stay in Mos Espa, but will live in the mountains outside the city.

Because Mos Espa is a hodgepodge of good and bad people, full of rogues, hooligans, and villains. The most dangerous, shameless, and filthy people in the entire galaxy gather here.

Therefore, it was not safe for them to live in the city. It would be better for them to live in the barren mountains outside the city, and then go to the city every now and then to purchase food and daily necessities.

Because Tatooine is a famous smuggling place, the most powerful smuggling group in the entire galaxy is the gang led by Jabba the Hutt. Therefore, as long as you have money in Tatooine, you can buy basically anything.

From food and daily necessities to spaceships, arms, slaves, spices, etc., it can be said that everything is available. Even during the Empire period, the smuggling business on Tatooine was still very lively.

And this also suits Xiang Nan.

He happened to use Jabba's smuggling channels to sell limb repair potions to raise funds for the rebels.
