"Pertaining to whether Sidious is right-handed or left-handed with a lightsaber, he's ambidextrous. He's just that good. Sidious' abilities are beyond anything we've experienced. It took a really long time for Nick (Gillard) to work out Sidious' fighting style, and he has a style that's constantly changing. His style is one in which you'll never get the better of him. It is ambiguous --- he'll fight less than you and draw you in; you're a sucker if you think you're going to better him. Sidious is a master of every weapon and every style."
―Nick Gillard comments on Darth Sidious's lightsaber form.
Vram: "Lord Hethrir wants you to answer these questions. Who was the greatest leader in our history?"
Jaina: "My mama, of course"
Vram: "You're wrong!You're so stupid. The Emperor was our greatest leader. Who's going to restore the Empire?"
Jaina: "No one!"
Vram: "You're wrong! Lord Hethrir will! The Empire Reborn!"
Jaina: "No!"
—Verbal exchange between Vram and Jaina Solo[src]
"...a galaxy conquering madman."
