General Tiberius Solo voices concern over “Empire” Seminar July 1, 2006

General Tiberius Solo, one of the Commanders of the New Republic’s Army and the son of famous Founder of the New Republic and War Hero Han Solo, has voiced out concern over the Seminar on “The Empire” while conducting an official visit to view the new Nano-Ionic Technology Lab at the University of Naboo.

General Solo, as heir to one of the Republic’s founding families, has voiced concern over the forthcoming Seminar while on the way here.

In the New Republic, General Solo has also served as a consultant in the United Galactic Ministry of Education in addition to his military career, and has been deeply involved with the fields of education in the New Republic.

“I do not see the necessity for such a seminar in contributing to the debate of future generations. As far as I am concerned my father fought hard against the Empire and I feel that my job is to prevent anything like the Empire from happening again. With that discussion must stop.” said General Solo resolutely.

Tears welled in his eyes as General Solo went to the Memorial of his maternal Grandmother, the one-time Queen of Naboo and illustrious senator Padme Amidala. “The Empire was a scourge upon the history of the galaxy for as long as it existed, and I find with mixed regret that my heritage is undoubtedly intertwined with its dark history.” General Solo’s Maternal Grandfather is of course the notorious Imperial protege Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader, till today still the most controversial Jedi/Sith that has ever been written about.

The seminar has come upon a new wave of historiography revolving around this controversial figure, as judgment is increasingly divided as to the nature of his rule during the Imperial era. For many, he was willingly the Emperor’s lackey and the Sith were a scourge to the universe, and to others, the Sith, including the Emperor himself, were a misunderstood force that in addition to seeking vengeance for their centuries-long disenfranchisement from galactic life, sought to piece together what they saw as the weak and fragmented Senate of the Old Republic by coup if necessary.

“It is my hope that this Seminar is discontinued as soon as possible.” voiced the General. “Intellectual debate of this sort is redundant and repulsive.”
