McDiarmid is a total legend and world-class actor. I hope we get to see him appear in some perhaps more "Empire" focused films.

[@Cathee.M.]

He was absolutely on fire here! Hilarious, quick-witted, engaging, brilliant, an absolute pleasure to watch. What a legend

[@zinbx]

He looks better than he did back then! Man is aging well!

I could listen to him talking about Star Wars for hours. Actually, about anything really.

[@ColeEdits]

Just to think: he KNEW he was back in Episode 9 ;)) Love him

[@Brook11223]

So far Sam Witwer does a phenomenal job of matching Ian's voice. Even the late Ian Abercrombie in Clone Wars the animated came close to matching Ian's voice. Seeing the evolution from chancellor to Sidious was a nice journey. Also Clive Revill voices him as a hologram which was great as well.

[@kimisdancin]

Yes, thank you !

[@topdog5252]

Ppl say Tim Curry wasn’t as good for Darth Sidious in cw but I rlly liked it. Ian was great but idk if he got the depth of the growl of Sidious.

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

"Good, GOOD!" It's so much fun and dramatic memories returning to reunite with our mysterious actor. Stay safe everyone!

[@MrRbjunior83]

We need sidious a star wars story

[@Darth_Nox13]

It has to be R rated though. If you've ever read the audiobook Darth Plagueis, you would know why a Palpatine movie would have to be R rated.

[@eileentew8831]

Thank you so much for posting this! I missed his panel for a family obligation and I was sad. So once again you set the world back in balance. I hope he comesTo FanX again!

The sequels suck. You see, people realised how good the prequels actually are when Disney took over and started releasing the sequels.

[@LondonCelt]

Could listen to this guy all day, an outstanding actor, this was great!

[@wwb16]

i would have asked him what the names of the actors/extras who played the emperor's advisers in ROTJ. very little is known about them

Bs Ian looks exactly like he did when he started the prequels

The funny thing is he is dropping so many hints about Rise of the Skywalker. First one I noticed is when he said that he play 120 year old man and the 50 year old mand and again a 120 year old man. Then someone asked if you could come back he starts to laugh. The he said he presumably dropped down the shaft. LMAO

I've always admired these actors for being able to put up with the super nerds. I couldnt do it. I want to snack them in the head.

It would just take one bad day for me.....and I'd be smackin heads
