These works spin out of George Lucas' original stories, the rest are created by other writers. However between us, we've read everything and much of it is taken into account in the overall continuity." - Sue Rostoni, Lucas Books and Lucas Licensing Managing Editor and Allan Kausch Continuity Editor for Lucasfilm, Star Wars Insider 23 Fall of 1994 "Continuity has been the supreme commandment at Lucasfilm for Shadows and all its Star Wars projects. The company had made the decision to not only expand its universe but have it unfold as a seamless chronicle. Whether a new star system is explored in a novel or a scene is set in ancient Jedi days from a comic series, nothing can contradict the history or logic of what has gone before. To keep it all straight there is 'The Canon', a timeline of major events and lifespan of main characters prepared by the continuity editors of Lucasfilm and considered the in-house bible of the Star Wars universe." - Mark Cotta Vaz, The Secrets of Shadows of the Empire, 1996 “Everyone in the content-creating galaxy of Star Wars has a copy of “The Bible,” a burgeoning canonical document (currently a hundred and seventy pages long) that is maintained by “continuity editors” Allan Kausch and Sue Rostoni. It is a chronology of all the events that have ever occurred in the Star Wars universe, in all the films, books, CD-roms, Nintendo games, comic books, and role-playing guides, and each medium is seamlessly coordinated with the others.””-Tom Dupree, editor for Bantam Spectra Star Wars books article from the New Yorker, Why the force is still with us, January 6, 1997 "Everything that (is approved) by Lucasfilm is official. No matter how small the contribution, we've added to the well,"- Peter Schweighofer, author for the EU, Star Wars Galaxy Collector magazine #1 by Topps, 1998 “According to Lucas Licensing Editor Sue, Rostoni, ‘Canon refers to an authoritative list of books that Lucas Licensing editors consider an authentic part of the official Star Wars history. Our goal is to present a continuous and unified history of the Star Wars galaxy, insofar as that history does not conflict with, or undermine the meaning of Mr. Lucas’s Star Wars saga of films and screenplays.’ Things that Lucas Licensing does not consider official parts of the continuous Star Wars history show an Infinities logo or are contained in Star Wars Tales. Everything else is considered canon.”-Sue Rostoni, Lucas Books and Lucas Licensing Managing Editor, in Star Wars gamer #6, July 1, 2001 “Basically, everything except those items marked with an “Infinity” logo (i.e. the Star Wars Tales comics) is considered canon.”-Sue Rostoni, Lucas Books and Lucas Licensing Managing Editor, Starwars.com May 30, 2003 “”Lucasfilm canon” refers to anything produced by any of the Lucas companies, whether it be movies, books games or internet. “Movie canon” is only what you see and hear in the Star Wars films”- Leland Chee, Continuity Database administrator aka Keeper of the Holocron for Lucas Licensing, Starwars.com May 30, 2003 Continuity vs canon) “Its pretty much the same-sounds better to say that we try to maintain the continuity of the universe, rather than saying the canon of the universe”- Sue Rostoni, Lucas Books and Lucas Licensing Managing Editor, on Starwars.com September 2003 “When asked if the G and C-levels formed separate and independent canon, Chee responded by stating that both were part of a single canon: “There is one overall continuity.”"-Leland Chee, Continuity Database administrator aka Keeper of the Holocron for Lucas Licensing, on Starwars.com August 4, 2004 “The concept of an expanded universe certainly isn’t unique to star wars.

Nick Jameson doesn't get nearly enough recognition. He is absolutely great at portraying the professional politician and somewhat oblivious gentleman Palpatine as well as the dark and twisted plotter Sidious. They sound like two entirely separate characters, which is perfect, seeing how Palpatine wants the public to believe just that. For me, Nick immediately comes second after Ian.

When I first heard Tim Curry's Chancellor Palpatine, as someone who has a lot of respect for him, I was kind of disappointed. But when he transitions to Sidious, it's a whole different story. His Sidious voice is terrifying. Although Ian McDiarmid's still the best, Tim Curry actually kind of pulls off the "two different characters" vibe and could actually be convincing in hiding his true identity, whereas McDiarmid is clearly evil in everything he says.

I wonder if Ian McDiarmid has ever acknowledged Abercrombie’s performance? Honestly, it comes down to McDiarmid, Abercrombie, and Sam Witwer for me. Tim Curry just sounds like Tim Curry doing his best Palpatine and Nick Jameson impression which honesty didn’t sound like Palpatine enough to me anyways. They do fine performances but the masters will always be McDiarmid and Abercrombie in my books.
@Wolf61199 жыл бұрын
I loved Abercrombie, simply because his "Palpatine" voice was genuinely endearing and warm. I always thought McDiarmid was tad obviously sinister, even when playing the Chancellor.

+Wolf6119 It is sad that Abercrombie died. However when Curry took over and with the episodes how serious they got such as when Ahsoka leaves the order it was almost perfect that Curry was voicing. To me it showed that Palpatine was giving up the persona of being nice because the Jedi were already falling to the Dark Side and could no longer notice or do anything to stop him.

From best to worst (in my opinion, of course): 1. Ian McDiarmid - Classic Emperor. The way he played the role in Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith was great. 2. Ian Abercrombie - Possibly the best Chancellor Palpatine, and does a great pre-disfigured Darth Sidious. I especially liked his dialogue when he confronted Darth Maul in Season 5 of The Clone Wars: "Remember the first and only reality of the Sith: there can only be two. And you are no longer my apprentice; you have been REPLACED." Pure gold. 3. Sam Witwer - Goes back to the ROTJ-style Emperor performance, and does it pretty well. 4. Tim Curry - Not gonna lie, I'm not really feeling his Palpatine, especially compared to Abercrombie's. His Darth Sidious is pretty damn good, though. 5. Seth MacFarlane - I'm not the biggest fan of MacFarlane (I hate Family Guy), but I have to admit his Emperor was hilarious in Robot Chicken. I don't give him as much credence as the more serious voice actors, though. 6. Nick Jameson - Meh 7. Trevor Devall - Meh 8. Robert Martin Klein - Meh 9. Clive Revill - Some of you might be mad at me for putting him last since he's the original Emperor, but he does absolutely nothing for me. His portrayal is nothing AT ALL like how the character ended up in Return of the Jedi, which was a much more memorable performance.

It was a stylistic choice. Ian can still do the 80s Emperor voice, he & George decided on the different direction in the Prequels to reflect Palpatine being 23 years younger, the same reason his face was made puffier. Ian did it again with Rise of Skywalker by giving Sidious more of a withered, raspy growl.

I would really enjoy it if they were to make a Darth Plageus movie. Officially, the book is Legends, but the Darth Plagues character is canon per mention in Episode III RotS. I think it would be interesting to see Plagues brought to the screen with a young Palpatine, acting as a backstory to the up and coming Sith Lord who would impact the next 6+ movies. Like Rogue One, it would set the stage for Ep. 1 (and part of it would occur simultaneously with it). Also, it would be cool to see a movie set deeply in the Sith lore, and perhaps throw light onto their perspective.

Ian McDiarmid is and forever will be the quintessential template in performing Palpatine's iconic character. However, I must say, I actually did like the way Tim Curry delivered his own version of the role in the Clone Wars. I have vivid memories as a kid of seeing Palpatine in that series and only recalling far deeper in the future that it was indeed "the theatrical master of evil." He brings a "magnificent bastard" quality to the character that Ian McDiarmid doesn't give (to which I respect because there should be nothing likable and/or attractive about him) in his performance. But strangely, it makes sense as to why he'd have it too. Especially so far earlier on in the Clone Wars/prequel trilogy era. I'll admit, I'm highly biased and believe firmly that Tim Curry shall do no wrong, but... this one is a legit idea to me. Plus, Curry isn't too flashy or attractive like he is in some of his roles. Granted, it is voice-acting and not stage/film-acting, but it's still a worthy credit in this role regardless. He adds the right kind of sinister creep factor in with almost a tantalizing tongue in his cadence that makes him a perfect mastermind. So, long story short... much like Hamill being the best VOICE-ACTING Joker, I feel that Curry once again knocks it out of the park with the subtle difference he adds to Palpatine's character that sets him as his own credible version beside Ian McDiarmid's original architecture.
