"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is . . . is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the clone wars the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? And private traiterous thoughts? Perhaps but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word."
