The line comes from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980), spoken by Darth Vader, voiced by James Earl Jones, as he coldly orders his personal shuttle prepared. Like much of Vader's dialogue, it became a favourite on early internet soundboards, where fans collected Star Wars quotes alongside blaster fire and lightsaber hums. Meme editors revived it as a punchline for over-the-top demands, and it still circulates in gaming clips and reaction edits whenever someone wants to sound like the Dark Lord of the Sith.
