I was thinking about this whole "Luke Skywalker" line in Ian's voice thing. And I have an idea on it that may be just slightly less ludicrous, maybe slightly more.
Anyway, on the ROTS soundtrack release, there is a bonus DVD Star Wars: A Musical Journey. I'm sure tons of you have it or at least know of it. On it, there are several introductions done by Ian McDiarmid of various pieces of Star Wars music. And several times, he says "Luke Skywalker". Now granted, the tone and inflection may be off, it's Ian's normal speaking voice, but perhaps someone knowledgeable with sound manipulation could make it sound a bit more like the Emperor? Just a thought, might be a good starting place.
BTW, Ady, loved A new Hope Revisited. Downloading the DVD-9 right now. This is my preferred version of Star Wars, and I cannot wait to see what you do with the rest of the saga.

Wow... I have the Musical Journey, and doing that honestly never crossed my mind. And it could perhaps work! I personally don't think it sounds ludicrous. More plausible than mine, I'll give you that. Could mean that Ady wouldn't have to have someone record himself trying to sound like the Emperor.
And like I said before, if the joint between the new word 'Luke' and the the phrase around it, 'We have a new enemy: ____ Skywalker', is too noticeable, a burst of static in the Emperor's audio could work (the Executor is just outside an asteroid field, after all).
Even so, adjusting the pitch to Ian McDiarmid's voice to sound like old Palpsy's croak could be all that's needed to be done to Ian saying 'Luke Skywalker'.
