A new scene for A New Hope inserted right after R2 has been captured by the Jawas.
INT- Senate Meeting Room - Coruscant
Members of the Imperial Senate meet with Emperor Palpatine
Senator Oogabooga floats on his platform thingy to state his case. The Emperor is also at the center of the room.
Oogabooga
Emperor Palpatine, it is with great concern that we address you on this very occasion. It has occured to the members of the galactic Senate that our role in the galactic Empire has dwindled. We wish to have a greater say in intergalactic matters, trade routes, galactic business and affairs, as well as taxation in the third rim of the second planet of the Nantadoin system.
Palpatine
Senator Booga, while I have great respect for your views on these galactic issues, I have decided that the Imperial Senate will no longer exist.
Loud gasps are heard throughout the room
Nuke Gunray
Empuhrah Palpatine thees ees an outrage!!!
Many members of the senate begin to yell and scream
Palpatine
Order! Order! Silence. If you will not shut up, you will be destroyed!
He shoots Gunray will force lightning. Suddenly the room has fallen silent.
Palpatine
You have paid for your lack of vision! Your feeble political skills are no match for the dark side!
Gunray
I am so sorry my Lord. Please stop! You are the greatest man who ever lived.
The Emperor stops shooting bolts at the pathetic Senator.
Palpatine

Jar Jar Binks

Palpatine
Don't worry. Every former Senator will be generously compensated by the Empire for your service. Within two weeks, every one of you will be taken care of. Now then, the Imperial Senate is officially dissolved. You may all leave. Thank you all for your service. However, it is critical that I fully sieze control of the Empire in order for my fully armed Battle Station to become operational by the deadline. You are all dismissed.
