Yes because it genuinely felt like an impression by a fan. I don't think anyone who doesn't love Star Wars would think to mimic Palpatine's voice as he pretends to beg for his life in Revenge of the Sith.

And then have it be recognisably from one scene in one movie is really something

Exactly! I feel every impressionist can do a Palpatine, and could probably act pitiful while doing that voice, but to take it specifically from Ian McDiarmid's performance is exceptional. I don't like parasocial stuff, but fuck I wanna be George Fouracres' friend.

Ugh, welcome to MY world!

Stop being so relatable and lovely, GEORGE! (Don’t stop ever 😘) He’s making it difficult for me to be a well-adjusted adult.

I just keep quoting that one line and laughing to myself.

“AUUUUUGHH! Oh sorry, I just remembered…who I am.”

Astonishing.

Im was hoping for an "UNLIMITED POWER" to wrap it up, but it was great nonetheless
