It was, Leia judged, the right moment. Glancing down at her belt, she reached out through the Force with all the power and control she could manage--

She withdrew as much of her concentration as she could risk from the floating lightsaber to look slowly down the line of dynasts. 'Will you hear me? Or will you instead choose death?”
