He didn't say "I thought the character was dead", he said "I thought I was dead". He truly loves playing the character.

[@novustalks7525]

Lowkey expected him to go on stage and say "I love democracy "

[@IamDrDapper]

Ironic

[@griffincantley866]

I love the republic.

[@TNAGalaxyChannel]

I love the senate.

[@rover5058]

He should've said "I am the Senate"

[@hannahverner2210]

😂

[@penguinmaster7]

you know how you can tell when an actor thoroughly enjoys the character they play? Ian is the epitome of that. every second he's on screen, he steals the show. despite his age, he had such an incredible energy and enthusiasm that you rarely see.

[@MelancoliaI]

Totally. He's what has kept me a Star Wars fan through the whole mess. Emperor Palpatine is the purest manifestation of evil I've seen in a movie, despite the flaws of the movies Ian has acted in.

[@zachjollimore4339]

oh ten outta ten he loves the character, thats the only reason he went back, the polar opposite of harrison ford

[@totterdell]

One of the best villains in cinema history and such a humble down to earth love him

[@elmaz46]

Facts 💯

[@strahinjagov]

Ian Mcdiarmid in Star Wars: 😈 Ian Mcdiarmid IRL: 🤗

[@shay3975]

I absolutely love actors that get into their characters like this.

[@Neochrono]

It is really nice to see him clearly enjoying playing the character and talking about it.

[@lukebrown5017]

I nerded the fuck out when he said “rise” at 0:46 , as much as I respect Ian McDiarmid as a classically trained actor, it pure felt like emperor palpatine had entered the room and i get goosebumps every time I watch this

[@azaraiahzee]

He just eats the scenery in everything he's in. It's so awesome seeing an actor who LOVES their role

[@busbrain2215]

the fact that ian is absolutely so just happy to be there and palpatine. ALSO a i like how every interview i watch with any actor they all make fun of George’s dialogue and his voice

[@lukahmad5683]

Ian is 77 and he looks so cool xD

[@Fleetatious]

imagine ian coming out holding a red lightsaber

[@nicholaspark4165]

You will not stop me. Darth Vader will become more powerful than either of us!!!

[@Ricooo-1976-]

He is a very nice man with good humour. Met him last Saturday at the Comic con Holland with a photoshoot. Live long Ian!

[@sourceow8795]

Saw the ending from the line to Anthony Daniels photo ops and I literally squealed and got chills when he said I AM ALL THE SITH. I just love hearing him use to the Palpatine voice so much.

[@Ljwiphone]

I love Ian McDiarmid soo much!!! Any snippet of the emperor I get is just amazing! He was in control from when anakin was pod racing to the battle of exagol! The true goat of Star Wars! Ian just makes the character so delightfully evil!

[@renegade637]

You know a movie series is good when the fans love the villains just as much as the heroes.

[@tedcabana]

One of the three best voices of all Star Wars movies. Ian, James Earl Jones, and Christopher Lee. I think Lee had the bect voice, and not just as a tribute to the late actor. But he also did Saruman.

[@hr_3m0_fk_rv5u2]

This man is a national treasure. The fact that he humors us after all these years with more interviews and small moments of becoming the character again is a huge gift to us all. I don't know if the world can ever match his talent or his presence, both on and off screen.

[@LouisTravieon]

That man is a gem, truly love Ian!

[@jm7804]

That voice. The man is a trained actor. He did not need a voice over.

[@dino7411]

1:50 anyone else see the dude doing the lightsaber tricks in the background??

[@freezasama5802]

4:14 lol host is too scared to admit that Ian practically carried that film from being absoloutely anhiliated into oblivion

[@darthdangervest2821]

The guy spinning the lightsaber in the background 😂

I wish Harrison Ford loved Han this much

[@mirzafatic1663]

I almost shit my pants when he said I am all the Sith!! EMPEROR STILL SCARY AS HELL 😱

[@jackob_c8732]

I think the Emperor could be dead, but Ian is the reason they brought him back. People just wanted to see him in Star Wars again.

[@miania9022]

He's just brilliant

[@DuelKingYami]

LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR!!!

[@MelancoliaI]

At this point, it must be quite the experience to meet the closest thing to *Satan* in person.

[@Tonycillian5]

Ian, Hayden, Ewan carried the prequels

[@lenini056]

Natalie Portman too don't forget along with Sam L Jackson as Mace!

[@theplasmacollider6431]

That's because they were the only non-cgi characters in the movie.

[@lenini056]

@@theplasmacollider6431 I guess you forgot about Jar Jar who was very CGI.

[@theplasmacollider6431]

@@lenini056 Did Jar Jar carry the movie? I rest my case.

[@justice_productions_]

@@theplasmacollider6431 you mean DARTH Jar Jar😂

[@tom4465]

Ok, so I thought they had to add quite a bit of bass to his voice in episode IX. Turns out he really can go that low, dang

[@DmitryWilkins]

It’s cool to see him go in depth with HIS views on everything

[@CloneShockTrooper]

The intro music is all wrong.. They should be using the arival of the Death Star theme from the Return of Jedi soundtrack, not the Astroid chase from Empire Strikes Back. Or use the sith theme from the prequels.

[@CloneShockTrooper]

Read the Darth Plaguise book. This should be canon all of it.

[@knightsdynasty]

A random guy named Cosinga comes out of nowhere.

[@risitasfrance9020]

Did he use the power of the Dark Side to open the doors ?

[@sheevpalpatine7670]

The Emperor is coming here? 😯

[@lukahmad5683]

"That is correct, Commander, and he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress." lol

That voice. I can't drop the feeling that this voice is nothing but evil Sith lies.

I wanted to see him have his own spin off movie. While he is alive would be great disney!

The Emperor and El Indio (Gian Volonté) are perhaps the 2 best vilains ever.

Wouldn't want that dude for a neighbor!😮😂😂😂😂

[@connorj4219]

If there is another Star Wars Celebration there should do one with Frank Oz

[@christophermccluskey5644]

Best part of the prequels as we know for his machinations but just go rewatch his ligtsaber skills and how he moves, we know alot is probally stunt actors but the characters pure lethal intent with his lightsaber dicipline, forget what one he uses now but Ian sells it in his face and movement. We know he becomes the emperor and has force lightening because of Jedi. The first time we see him in physical action you see he also a skilled fighter, he takes 3 masters out in seconds and is only bested by a Jedi Master who didnt do a lot of fighting in the films himself.

[@PalpatineGaming]

God what i wouldnt do to meet this man irl

[@mirzafatic1663]

Holy Shit, it's Emperor Palpatine!!!! He is 😨 scary.

[@FluffySylveonBoi]

Maybe Palpatine wasn't born normal way, but like Anakin. But from the dark side of the Force.

[@DanK123]

What a gem of a guy! Legend!!

[@alliancenavy4593]

Booooo Hisssssss.. boooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@3brianssolS]

Darth sidious enemies actor

[@robertmayfield8746]

I like the fact that Ian draws clear line between the character and himself. He loves his own performance as an actor, but he doesn't like the character. Palpie represents the worst, authoritarian CEO making lot of bad decisions and sinking the 'empire'.

[@elliottgreco6474]

Didn’t really have to change his voice much

[@3brianssolS]

He palpatine as the emperor as the dark side

[@christianlittle4303]

Ngl they should played his theme not Vader’s

[@shanekeenaNYC]

The low gregorian chants of old.

[@MisterAzizo]

So sad they killed him off so quickly.. Would've hoped for an epic battle but alas. You can't have everything in life I suppose

[@3brianssolS]

Ian Mcdiamond is in the dark side

[@3brianssolS]

And they do experiments on troopers and do this do this to the troopers and listen to his command the council emperor working for the troops that’s the dark side
