'Diplomatic Mission' Diorama:
Darth Vader is the most potent
icon of the Galactic Empire's might, and his towering height and menacing gaze
are the ultimate tools of intimidation. The product of the Emperor himself,
Vader answers to only the highest in the Imperial command structure and is
granted great leeway in the work he conducts on his master's behalf. Once a
Jedi, Vader possesses absolute command over the Force, and through him it is
directed to terrible and often fatal effect. As a Lord of the Sith, the dark
side flows through him, and it can be channeled to kill with a single thought or
to subdue his detractors, enemies and sometimes even subordinates. Feared by
Rebels and Imperials alike, Darth Vader is a terrifying union of man and machine
hidden beneath black robes and forbidding armor. Vader commands the massive
Imperial fleet and rules his forces through unquestionable terror, determined to
hunt down and extinguish the Rebel Alliance.
Seeking to broaden his control over the Empire, the Emperor commissions the
creation of the Death Star. The immense space station carries a superlaser
weapon capable of destroying entire planets with a single beam. When Rebel
Alliance spies learn of the weapon's existence, they steal the Death Star's
technical schematics from guarded Imperial vaults and transmit them to Princess
Leia Organa, who stores the plans in R2-D2's memory systems. But when Vader
hears reports of the transmission, he deploys his forces to recover the stolen
plans.
When Darth Vader and his stormtroopers seize the Rebel Alliance ship, the
Tantive IV, they quickly begin interrogating its crew for information on the
stolen Death Star plans believed to be on board. Lord Vader moves quickly to
locate the stolen plans, and has little patience in his inquisition. Vader
chooses to make an example of the commander of the Tantive IV, Captain Raymus
Antilles, and uses his physical might to lift Antilles off the deck of the
starship, one hand gripping the rebel's throat. Captain Antilles refuses to give
up any information on the plans' whereabouts or betray the Rebel Alliance, and
Vader impatiently and quite viscerally ends the interrogation.

Diorama, one of the most dramatic Star Wars scenes to ever be captured in
