OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
Revenge of the Sith Makes Temptation Institutional
The opera scene works because temptation sounds like elite mentorship. Palpatine does not offer evil; he offers institutional access to forbidden expertise.
Why it works
The public performance, private seating, and legend-as-lesson let seduction happen through culture, status, and fear of loss. Dialogue becomes recruitment infrastructure.
