Tarkin doubted the claim, and Phaedra responded that given the sensitivity of the information, the moff could surely see why the Emperor had decided to send the request through a droid. Tarkin conceded the point and left with several of his troopers to speak with Palpatine. With Tarkin out of the office, Phaedra informed one of the remaining troopers that she needed to visit the restroom, even though droids didn't use it. She then added that she had two friends, Solo and Chewbacca, who would be entering the office through one. At this moment, Solo and Chewbacca arrived and killed the troopers. Solo then pointed his blaster at Phaedra, unaware that she had disguised herself as the droid, but she told him not to shoot, and take off the droids head, revealing to Solo that it was her.
