Donald Trump was sworn in for his second presidential term on Monday, and for Jimmy Kimmel, the new president’s speech seemed a little familiar. So, on Monday night, the ABC host edited Trump into a “Star Wars” scene to prove it.
To kick off his monologue, Kimmel first poked fun at Melania Trump’s wardrobe for the day, President Biden saying his message for the day was “joy” and more. But speaking seriously of Trump’s inaugural address, Kimmel admitted that it “was more ominous than I anticipated.”
At that, a clip began, but it wasn’t from the Capitol. It was from the Galactic Senate of “Star Wars” — namely, Palpatine’s declaration of seizing power from “Revenge of the Sith.”
