The Force Awakens with Darth Sidious' Roommates
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Three roommates are playing video games and grumbling about their fourth housemate, Darth Sidious, when the hooded Emperor sweeps in and starts sensing their frustration. Every minor annoyance becomes a recruitment pitch: he hands over his lightsaber hilt and asks to be struck down, takes credit for the empty milk jug in the fridge, and even joins their online game hoping to provoke them, but the roommates just tell him the habit is unhealthy. Lonely and desperate, he turns to Star Wars-themed insults about Stephen's mother until Stephen finally ignites a lightsaber and attacks him, which turns out to excite Sidious so much that he hastily reconsiders the whole idea.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Sid, man, seriously, you are obsessed with being struck down.
It was I who finished the milk.
In fact, your mother is so fat, it's like the Death Star put on a pair of pants.
A little extra
Notes from the archive.
This was Darth Sidious's first Studio C sketch, aired as "Sidious Says So" before the online upload was retitled; Jason Gray later returned as the Emperor in the Death Star loan and Force Awakens leaked-footage sketches.
The rabbit hole continues
One more couldn’t hurt.
