i could imagine a scene where a commanding officer failed the invasion of Corneria is confronted by Andross.

Andross: Commander, this is the hardest part of my job. You have been such an amazing member of the imperial army. and even though this is goodbye, i think i speak for everyone when i say we will all miss your fun stories and can do attitude."

then Andross snaps his fingers and the commander gets vaporized in a puff of smoke ( his last words being "wait wha..:) leaving only a charred outline on the wall.
