That is absolutely stunning!

The assembled stood in the rows of pews, And the priest at the podium bid them to sit down.
"And Today's reading," The priest glanced down, reading as he spoke, "From the Book of Darth Plagueis, chapter 69, Page 420." The Priest coughed a moment, as did everyone in attendanced as they mutter "nice."
"Pathways to Powers considered, unnatural." The priest continued, naming the chapter... "What is Life, and what is Death, in the face of the existence of the Force? How is it that a birth can be predicted long before the predicted parents and their parents and their parents were? How is it that some beings seem to continue to exist after death, yet-"



I need fanart of a Church-type sermon, with the priest being a (younger, saner) Palpatine, with some Jedi in attendance like an in-his-prime Dooku, at his side, a kid-aged Maul...

I have no fanart, but will a video suffice?
