Summary
After Vader captured Princess Leia Organa, and brought her to the Death Star for interrogation, intending that she would reveal the location of the secret Rebel base. Grand Moff Tarkin signed an execution order for the young Senator immediately upon her capture, ready to kill her once her usefulness was over. Vader, on behalf of the Emperor, personally conveyed to Tarkin the news that Palpatine, as Tarkin had long known he would, had abolished the Imperial Senate - the rule of the galaxy would now be fully in the hands of the gubernatorial hierarchy.
Tarkin announced the Senate's dissolution as he and Vader entered a meeting of the Death Star's leadership. When Motti insulted Vader's competence in regard to the stolen plans and denigrated the power of the Force, Vader used his abilities to choke the fractious admiral, until Tarkin instructed Vader to relent and moved on to his intent to destroy the Rebellion once the location of its headquarters was extracted from Organa.
