Anakin Skywalker was abandoned by The Jedi on Tatooine. Eventually he was found by Darth Plagueis. He was trained to use The Dark Side of The Force and to fulfill his destiny as The Chosen One.
He was made into the perfect Sith Lord, and became the...
Padmé Amidala had always prided herself in being prepared. The former Queen of Naboo and current Senator of the Galactic Republic was known for her uncanny ability to anticipate any and every scenario that might come her way.
Assassinations? She would remain stoic, not reacting, and focus on identifying the assassin.
Political rivals? She would dismantle their arguments and bring them to their knees with her keen intellect and persuasive words.
But even this was to much for her to be prepared for.
She stood in front of the massive durasteel doors that marked the entrance to The Throne Room, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and determination. The Grand Chamber in which she was about to enter was infamous throughout the galaxy for being the seat of Emperor Vader's power. The former slave boy she had once known as Anakin Skywalker had become a force to be reckoned with, and now she faced the daunting task of trying to persuade him to listen to reason.
As she stood there, she recalled the day they had first met on the dusty, sun-scorched plains of Tatooine. Anakin had been a young boy, full of hope and dreams of becoming a great Jedi Knight. Never could she have imagined that this innocent child would one day transform into the imposing figure of Emperor Vader, a man whose rule was marked by tyranny and darkness.
The doors to the throne room opened, revealing the dimly lit chamber within. Shadows danced along the walls, cast by the flickering torchlight and adding to the sinister atmosphere that permeated the room. Padmé took a deep breath and stepped forward, ready to face the man who had once been her friend and ally.
As she walked towards the towering figure of Emperor Vader, she couldn't help but marvel at the transformation he had undergone. He was now 6 feet 5 inches tall, clad in black boots, pants, and a tunic that was covered entirely by a flowing black robe. His once bright blue eyes were now a menacing crimson yellow, and a jagged scar marred his right eye, a testament to his warrior status.
The sweet, innocent boy she had once known on Tatooine had been replaced by a powerful, fearsome ruler. Gone was the arrogance of youth, replaced by an air of confidence bolstered by the aura of authority that emanated from him. This was not the Anakin Skywalker she remembered. No, this was a man who had been forged in the fires of war and had emerged as a dark and powerful leader.
"Ani--" Padmé began, her voice barely above a whisper. She was interrupted by the angry outburst of one of Emperor Vader's subordinates, a Red Skinned Chagrian male. He slammed his foot onto the ground as he marched down towards her from the stairs.

"ON YOUR KNEES! NONE MAY ADDRESS THE EMPEROR WITHOUT SUBMISSION!" he roared. As Padmé glanced around the room, she noticed the guards who had escorted her in were already kneeling with their heads bowed.
The Royal Senate Guards who accompanied her looked equally confused before reluctantly dropping to their knees and bowing their heads. Padmé followed suit, paying her respects to The Emperor.
