Episode 8: The Last Jedi Part 6


                Lady Saydra and Snoke are then shown having a brief meeting in the throne room, alone.  Not even Snoke’s guards are there.  “Must you go so soon, My Dear?” asks Snoke
                “The Zyn Empire has begun its invasion, Snoke,” she replies icily.  “I am needed at the Empress’ side.”
                “The Empress Amelia is a competent girl.  She can handle matters without you, I am sure.”
                Saydra seems unmoved by his words.  “I know you for what you are, Snoke,” she replies.  “I am probably the only one left who does.  You have seen to that.  You cannot manipulate me as you do others.”
                Snoke smiles wickedly.  “To manipulate all things from the shadows, My Dear, one must remain in the shadows.  I didn’t manipulate Vader, and Dooku, and Sidious and Plageuis, and all of the other pawns I’ve had over the last century by being in the spotlight.”  He then leans back with a sigh of contentment.  “No.  By remaining in the shadows the galaxy has been my play thing.  I have pulled all the strings.  I trust that you will continue to grant me my anonymity?”
                She nods, still unmoved.  “You do not need to gloat to me,” she replies evenly.  “I am no longer impressed by anything.  I will keep your secret safe.  However, I would warn you to remember our deal.”
                “I will do my part, My Dear,” says Snoke, suddenly very serious.  “Just remember to do yours.”  He then becomes pleasant again.  “I do so love our little visits.”
                Saydra seems almost to detest him at that moment, showing a hint of emotion.  “I abhor you,” she comments.  “You are like the living dead.”  Then she bows to him slightly at the waist.  “Now if you will excuse me.  I must be going.”  She then exits his throne room.  As she goes, Snoke continues to eye her with evil delight.
                “Oh, My Dear,” he says in low tones so that she cannot hear.  “If only you knew what plans I have for YOU!”  He then chuckles wickedly under his breath as the doors close and Saydra vanishes from view.
