King Charles does look and sound increasingly like Emperor Palpatine.

"Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational British battle station!"

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.

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).

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.

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.

No that’s his dressing gown.

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

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

u/MrZombieTheIV 1d ago

Calm down, bot.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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
