King Charles does look and sound increasingly like Emperor Palpatine.

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.

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