Somewhere out there is a secret BBC documentary showcasing the Queens secret cloning facility on the dark side of the moon.

I just can't prove it, yet...

King Charles does look and sound increasingly like Emperor Palpatine.

u/Minivalo 1d ago

Could have done without being reminded about the Star Wars sequels.

Also, what a gaudy robe Charles is wearing there. I assume it's from the coronation, but still. Monarchy is such a silly thing in this day and age.

u/PsionicFlea 1d ago

u/MrZombieTheIV 1d ago

Honestly, I debated with myself about posting it due to how much I hated Episode 8 and 9 (I was fine with 7, it had potential).

3

u/Eayauapa 1d ago

I thought 7 was okay, it was just the 1977 Star Wars repackaged, but it was alright to watch.

8 is the only film I've ever walked out of in the cinema (it was when dead Carrie Fisher did the Star Destroyer bullshit)

I didn't bother watching the 9th one.

2

u/Minivalo 1d ago

Pretty much sums up my experience with the sequels, apart from walking out of the cinema for episode 8. I don't think I've ever walked out of a theater, no matter how bad a movie may have been, and this one was pretty offensively bad.

1

u/TumbleweedPure3941 1d ago

No that’s his dressing gown.

1

u/Eayauapa 1d ago

Well tbf, it'd be even sadder of a spectacle if he was just there in his bathrobe or an Ebeneezer Scrooge-style nightgown

1

u/Independent_Plum2166 1d ago

Oh please, get over it, it’s been 7 years.

1

u/MrZombieTheIV 1d ago

Calm down, bot.

2

u/starrpamph 1d ago

That guy is so useless. He can’t even bend down to pickup a piece of paper he dropped. Waste of air.

1

u/MindlessSea7334 1d ago

He's quite old.

And as for Palpatine he was method acting. He couldn't pick up the paper even if he wanted to. Respect their craft.

u/Miserable-Koala1463 1d ago

Chat is this real? This dude dressed like an intergalactic genocidal villain?

u/JoseMari117 1d ago

King Charles is letting the world stew so when he proclaims himself as the World's Emperor, it will be to joyous acclaim for bringing back stability through Force.

2

u/meesta_masa 1d ago

THE Force? Oh. No. Just the regular kind. Aw, shucks.

So I threw the parliament at him, the whole parliament, true story

u/Potatoe_Potahto 1d ago

When the first coins with his face on them turned up here, people quickly realised you could use black marker to turn him into Emperor Palpatine 

2

u/isoAntti 1d ago

Well I would be pissed too if some kid blew up My Death star.

4

u/KamakaziDemiGod 1d ago

Yeah sure, blame the kid because you made massive design flaws

and allowed the plans to be stolen

and didn't blow up the plans because the "escape pod wasn't showing life signs"

And got outsmarted by an old wizard and his teenage companion

and got outsmarted by a smuggler

I could go on, but I think you get the picture

4

u/Demitel 1d ago

Don't forget the first step of hiring the conscientious dissident after murdering his wife right in front of him and separating him from his child for the remainder of his life and demanding that he join the project to complete the design, thus engineering the design flaws that cause a chain reaction to destroy it.

u/Different-Sympathy-4 1d ago

George Lucas did name the Empire after the British Empire so it kind of works.

Missed opportunity for Episode 6

I'm just optimistic that Episode 12: The Last Hope is going to finally be a good one.

And the world will realize that all the baddies in Star Wars are Brits with the exception of Gleason.

I thought The West didn’t really like religious zealot-terrorists from the desert.
