Hamilton's 'You'll Be Back' A Star Wars Parody Performed By Emperor Palpatine

"Empires rise. Republics fall." Thank you to Lin-Manuel Miranda for Hamilton the Musical and 'my shot' of inspiration and to George Lucas for creating these characters and a galaxy far far away for us to play in.

From the moment I heard "You'll Be Back" sung by Jonathan Groff as King George, I had the idea of another royal tyrant (Emperor Palpatine) performing the song. I set to work with my friend Shawn Gordon to re-write the lyrics to bring you a Dark Side parody strong in the Force.

Cast:
Emperor Palpatine: BJ Whimpey
Stromtroopers:
Shawn Gordon, Shane Gordon, Dalton Gordon, and Larissa Gordon

Makeup by Shawn Gordon
Go follow him and see his video applying the Emperor Palpatine makeup on me and a few other fun Star Wars surprises on his channel

Directed/Edited by Jace Gordon:
Follow him and see the creations and collaborations of this up and coming young director. Trust me folks, he's going places. Be sure to look at his production company 'SIMPLE CROWD" as well.
Be sure to look at the "Star Wars Drive-Thru Prank" video.

Mixed and Mastered by Andrew Glasmacher:

I hope you enjoy and may the Force be with you, always.

I love that the "Da da da dat dah~" Is the imperial March. Too much fun.

[bracklee]

Also, I can’t wait until Lin-Manuel Miranda sees this and tweets his reaction!

[andrewvarney]

Palpatine: "So how was that Lord Vader?"
Vader: "Impressive, most impressive Master. You're sure to make it on Empire's got Talent now."
(They force fist bump)

It is my headcanon that this was Palpatine’s message to the galaxy before Rise of Skywalker.

1:05 "..and when Force Push comes to shove..." *I'll send the 501st legion to kill you.*
Awww. This is beautiful love.

[evilshadowgdg]

This is pure gold! Can't stop laughing, your acting as Palpatine is impressive :) congrats!

[eleoradraws]

This is AMAZING! YOUR VOICE AND PRESENTATION ARE SPOT ON. YOU. KILLED. IT!!!

[SharonPearlman]

I think my favorite part is changing the Da da das to sound like the Imperial March, but really the whole thing is incredible!! Love it!! 😂😂😂

[J-id]

Me: *sees like ratio*
Me: I love democracy

Awesome job! You just gained another subscriber from this master piece

[oryanstudios]

With the parody song and all, I wasn't expecting a genuinely good singer. Good job man!

[matthewbriggs]

When a short parody trumps the latest trilogy combined and yet receives but a fraction of the views. We are truly living in Palpatine's empire.

[striderlife]

Emperor: You’ll be back
Arnold Schwarzenegger: I know

[kalintaylor]

This is amazing 😂😂😂 “I will fight the fight and win Star Wars” 👌🏼😂

[katiehelms]

XD I laughed throughout the whole freaking thing, this isnt healthy for. "Empires RISE. Republics FALL."
"When I'm gone..."
"Till episode nine -"
"DINT CHANGE THE SUBJECT"
This video better go viral

[k_man]

LITERAL GOLD. WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE ATTENTION???

[truToasty]

POV: You got the Good Ending of Episode Nine.

[bracklee]

Incredible job! This is now my favorite Star Wars parody since Troops!

Seriously, such a good job!!!

[annoying_HK_guy]

When there's no SW meme about this man:
"This is outrageous, it's unfair, how could such talents can bring joy to all of us, but not being granted the rank of SW memes?"

[cave-man]

This is truly marvelous! I need to show this to my friends. I'm surprised how much palpatine actually fits the role of the singer and king in the song. This deserves way more views. If you know the youtuber Star wars theory, maybe someone could bring this to his attention. The changing of the king's lines to make it feel like it is actually palpatine makes it so good. The "til episode nine" is making me laugh so hard.

I used to give my allegiance to no one, but now that I see that the emperor has these vocals, I must break that rule.
