LEGO Star Wars Story, Part 56: "The Darkness Meets the Shadows"

Following Palpatine Vader enters the massive chamber to find Snoke on his throne identical to the one aboard the Star Destroyer where he faced him some time ago, causing Vader to have a deja vu. As they enter Palpatine just bows his head to Snoke's figure and heads for a smaller black throne right next to Snoke's. Vader just stands there frozen in place by the sight he is seeing. His master being Snoke's pet...

The dim lights seem even dimmer and Snoke's big figure seems even larger. Vader still stands there as far away from Snoke. The old man, older than you could imagine, finds Vader's resistance very amusing even making him smile for a split second. The other old man, Palpatine sits in his tiny throne emotionless, as if he isn't even present in this scene. Snoke senses Vader's confusion and laughs out loud.

On the other side of the ship, strapped in an amazingly uncomfortable chair is Luke Skywalker, tortured for information about the Rebellion which he isn't eager to give. After they extract as much information from his as possible he will be sent over to Snoke, which just gives him more motivation not to break. He is beaten every hour after which he is electrified and cut. Not the greatest way to spend time I imagine...

Snoke presses a button on one of his two stone armrest and Palpatine suddenly "wakes up" and starts acting alive. This is too far out of Vader's grasp. He is powerless in Snoke's hands and he knows it, but he will not go without resistance. Snoke ends his laugh with a sick sounding cough and stands up from his throne taking a few steps towards Vader.

As Luke's pain seems endless and the well of his misery bottomless an opportunity for salvation presents itself. His chrome tinted lightsaber handle which belonged to his father before him. The said handle was placed carelessly on the investigating stormtrooper's desk. Luke still strapped to his torture chair is brought in front of him and made to face his emotionless mask...

His face is inches away from the white mask, he smirks and uses force to grab his lightsaber from the desk igniting it as it lands in his bruised and cut hands. He cuts the straps holding him in place and cuts right through the stormtrooper's torso. He deflects the incoming blast and jumps on top of the desk shoving his lightsaber into another stormtrooper's body killing him instantly.

Luckily the screams and blasts are not heard in Snoke's chambers. He walks off his raised pedestal and walks over the cold black marble floor towards Vader looking him into the eyes all the way through. When he is just a few steps away he stops dead in his tracks and exlaims: "Your master is dead, the Empire you knew is gone and you won't remember any of this...". Right after Snoke says those words Vader's entire world goes black and his cyborg body crashes to the ground...
