Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 9-2-2006(207): The mnemonic "words to seduce the masses" was just too vague and I kept forgetting it. So now instead I picture a seductive female reading aloud the imperial edict to the masses, thus "seducing" the masses.

2) [anthropic] 12-8-2008(56): The emperor did not need an imperial edict; his words were more than enough to seduce Anakin to the dark side.

3) [RachelleUdell] 17-7-2008(31): The WORDS of an IMPERIAL EDICT are meant to SEDUCE the people and make them obey.

4) [Codexus] 24-1-2008(19): Palpatine's imperial edict is a propaganda speech to attempt to seduce the masses to the Dark Side. (If you need extra help to remember the seduce part, think about some sexy photos of Darth Vader being included in it as well. The resulting image should be seared into your mind forever.).

5) [dusmar84] 30-11-2009(13): The Patriot Act is the modern day version of an imperial edict. It uses a lot of fancy words to seduce people into giving up their freedoms.
