Calming heated shouting matches in the Senate with a wave of the hand and a “now now no need to shout I’m sure this can be settled with out all the name calling.”

#NOW THIS IS AN AU I CAN GET BEHIND#Oh my God#Tarkin and Vader being lowkey wary of him#Because he pulls the#‘What do you mean you haven’t eaten yet??’#All the time#And they’re fucking sick of it#Literally#And no amount of him slipping a 20$ bill in their pockets and telling them to treat themselves#Will ever make up for his potroast#Glory to the Empire#Emperor DEWIT#The best AU
