Palpatine is an amazing actor. First he pretends to be a normal politician from Naboo, and now he’s pretending to be some guy named Ian. Bravo 👏 my lord.

This guy has such a soothing voice. I would sway to the dark side with a voice like that.

I love the way everyone has their own George Lucas impression.

[matheusburin]

He also said "Dust gets everywhere", I guess thats a common weakness to dark siders...

[ElephantmanGaming]

The way he just non chilantly blurts it out rather than building it up makes it all the more better

[brendanq]

That was hilarious, especially his dead-on-balls accurate impression of Lucas.

It's so funny seeing their faces when the fans cheer after they drop a iconic "meme" line from the movie 🤣

[JoeArnold]

could listen to this man speak for hours

[edwardgamerx]

Ian: Do I really have to say "Do It"?
SW fans: *DEW IT!*

[Kamina.D.Fierce]

He's still got it. He can still... Do it!

Anakin: "I hate sand, it gets everywhere."
Palpatine: "I feel the exact same about dust."

I like how he says it normally and then is like "Wait, I could do the thing!" so he's goes back and does it.

[TonyTylerDraws]

He would make a good narrator for an audio book

[DanClancyPatterson]

I like how he caught his own accidental meme-pun and said it exactly like I do in the middle of a sentence😂 but no one applauds for me😂

[Mono-hjfb]

He hasn’t lost his charm at all, in so many years. Long live Mr. McDiarmid.

Edit: Long live *Emperor* McDiarmid, thank you for reminding me, random guy in reply section

[dylanherbst]

He's so happy he can make people laugh with just two words.

I met him at a convention years ago and his voice was just so naturally the Emperor. I shook his hand plus he has a strong grip, so thrilling to meet him. I felt like I was in a scene with him as the Emperor . Carrie Fisher was at the next table so I was in my element.

I love how the main evil and the biggest tyrant of the Star Wars universe is acted by such a humble and chill man. Ian must be so much fun to work with.

I like how he says "do it" normally and then remembers the memes.

I think the best part of this is no one asked him to say it, he just did it because he wanted to make his fans happy.
