Emperor Palpatine was once the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. Over the course of a decade he manuvered himself to higher and higher positions of power, increasing that power, and then remaining in office longer than any Chancellor in galactic history. After the death of Count Dooku and General Grevious, the time had come to execute Order 66. This effectively eliminated all of the Sith's hated enemies, the Jedi, and allowed him to user in a new Empire. I am fine with any interpretations or mimics of any version of Palpatine so far. Bonus points for adding the holocom sound effect to your audition.
