The Force (And Other Half-Baked Crackpot Ideas)

The Force (And Other Half-Baked Crackpot Ideas) is a book in the Galactic City Library. It was one of Emperor Palpatine's anti-Jedi propaganda tools used to make Imperial citizens and military officers disbelieve in the Force and embrace atheism. It was authored by the Emperor's Grand Vizier, Sate Pestage. Darth Vader found the book to be very offensive, because he wanted people to believe in the Force, or at least its dark side. Being subservient to Palpatine, however, his complaints fell on deaf ears. Vader once promised himself that the day he destroyed the Emperor and ruled the galaxy in his place, he would round up and burn all copies of this book and replace it with a book that advocated the power of the Force. It was finally removed from the shelves by 22 ABY.
