Impressions, as their name implies, never get old. Especially Star Wars impressions. Like the 10 in the below video from voice actor, Greg JonesOpens in a new tab, who can perfectly emulate everyone from Chancellor Palpatine to Kylo Ren.
Jones, a self-described “Hobbit” and “Proud Geek,” recently posted the above video to his Instagram pageOpens in a new tab. Since then, the video’s gone viral on RedditOpens in a new tab, and it’s obvious why: Jones has a voice with more range than an orbital-class rocketOpens in a new tab.
Jones’ girlfriend, Lucy, kicks off the impression “challenge,” asking him to reproduce the voices of: Kylo Ren, Yoda, C3PO, R2D2, Darth Vader, Old Obi-Wan, New Obi-Wan, Jabba the Hutt, Chancellor Palpatine, and Chewbacca. And while they’re all dead-on accurate, Jones’ PalpatineOpens in a new tab stands out as especially electrifying.
Unfortunately, as of this writing, Jones has not yet recorded his version of the voices that have been requested since the video’s release; such as Lando and Anakin. Jones has, however, recorded another video featuring his rendition of an equally large handful of characters from Harry PotterOpens in a new tab.
Those now in the mood for more flawless impressions don’t need to look very hard. This singerOpens in a new tab, for example, can nail 29 different cartoon characters—all while singing “Toto” by Africa. And this TikTokerOpens in a new tab, like Jones, is also incredible at using The Force (of changing pressure levels in his airways).

There are also a lot more impressions from Jones on TikTok, which are not related to Star Wars. (For some weird reason.) The voice actor can, for example, nail an indignant GandalfOpens in a new tab who needs to pay his electricity bill. Jones is also able to nail a Smaug impressionOpens in a new tab, which makes us think he should do a compilation video like those above for Lord of the RingsOpens in a new tab. And if he did a three-parter for unique characters from each of the movies, we wouldn’t be mad at it.
