Transcription:Not Fully Operational Battle Station

The sketch begins with Emperor Palpatine sitting in his chair in the second Death Star with Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker standing in front of him.

Palpatine: As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have-

Loud hammering is heard and Palpatine turns to the source of the noise for a few seconds.

Palpatine: (louder) Your friends have failed! Now-

Drowned out by large construction noises.

Palpatine: Now witness the firepower of this fully-

Construction noises get louder.

Palpatine: Fully armed and operational battle-

Construction noises drown out Palpatine's voice.

Palpatine: OH, COME ON!

Palpatine gets up to the section of the Death Star that's under construction which is also right next to his throne. He jumps up and down waving his arms to get the workers' attention.

Palpatine: Hey, fellas!

He soon walks over to the foreman and touches his shoulder to get his attention.

Palpatine: Excuse me, excuse me.

The foreman looks at Palpatine and raises his hand at the construction workers, who stop instantly and the construction noises stop as well.

Palpatine: He-hey, the Force is strong with this one, eh? What you got there, a latte? You ever had the hazelnut macchiato? Change your life.

Short pause.

Palpatine: Anywho, Tony, right?

Foreman: Ray.

Palpatine: Ray. Sorry, sorry. I-I-I get mixed up. Who's-Who's Tony?

Palpatine looks around and no one answers.

Palpatine: Anyway, I-I hate to interrupt. I know you're very busy. Is there anyway to finish this area, you know, later? I'm-I'm kind of in the middle of something.

Ray sighs heavily.

Ray: Look, Mr. Saltine. I don't tell you how to...threaten your blonde kid. So, why don't you go back over there to your Sit' n' Spin and let me do my job?

Palpatine: Okay, okay. Copy that. Good talk.

Palpatine walks back over to Luke and Vader.

Palpatine: They'll, uh, they'll-they'll just be a little longer. I-I told them to stop, but, uh, you know: No speak-o minimum wage-o.

Palpatine laughs.

Palpatine: So, so where was I? Oh, right, right. Now witness the firepower-

Palpatine's voice is completely drowned out by the loud construction noises. Luke and Vader look at each other and Vader shrugs in confusion.
