Assassination attempt on Luke Skywalker

The Assassination Attempt on Luke Skywalker was the last attempt of High Admiral Varric to keep control over the Galactic Empire and to kill Luke Skywalker.

Background
Admiral Carr threatened her commander, High Admiral Varric, to take control of the remnants of the Galactic Empire away from him if he did not win victories. So, he targeted Luke Skywalker, and followed him to Naboo, where he was visiting his mother.

The Attempt
Varric had barely landed on Naboo when he came across Luke Skywalker and Padma Amidala near some woods near Theed. He attacked Skywalker, taking him by suprise and nearly knocking him out with a thick club. He shouted as he attacked, "You killed the Emperor! I will kill you!"

Suddenly, Amidala pulled a gun and shot Varric in the head, killing him instantly.

Aftermath
The death of Varrik left Admiral Carr in command of the Empire, and resulted in the further weakening of the dying Galactic Empire.
