My favorite Ian McDiarmid story is one he told about Christopher Lee. Christopher Lee was another older, classically trained British thespian. One whom Ian thought he'd found a contemporary in. And then it came time for the lightsaber duels. Ian discovered rightaway he had no ally in Christopher Lee. Christopher Lee was a champion fencer who could duel in his sleep! Ian realized he would now, once again, resume his role as the sickly puppy of the litter when it came to lightsaber dueling on the set.

[@thewalrus45]

God Palpatine is such a glorious bastard, he's one of those villains who can pull off being nonsympathetic in EVERY SINGLE ASPECT and no one cares because he's just so charismatic and has so much fun doing what he does that it just somehow makes him believable.

+AdjutantReflex well, you're wrong because, see... the right way to do it is not to make him look more terrifying, but to make him look the way he was in Return Of The Jedi for continuity reasons. It had to be the same person, but younger. Looking back at pics of him in Jedi, he had a wide variety of looks, whereas he had a singular, almost cartoonish look in Sith. Lucas also, obviously CGI'ed shadow under his hood and Jedi, it was more natural looking.

[@ThisHandleSystemCanGetNicked]

TheWilczak See, everything that you just said there simply amounts to "i prefer the way he looks in Jedi better", and while thats cool, you'd be wise to remember that not everybody is going to share your opinion. You prefer the old look, i prefer the recent look. As for how he is "supposed to look", and "continuity" thats really up to Lucas, not you. You can obviously tell that its the same character, only now he has more detail on his face, and to me, he looks more realistic, not cartoonish. Do remember that there is no such thing as "right" or "wrong" opinions, rather there is merely agreeable, or disagreeable ones.

It's terrifying how good Sidious is at manipulating others as Palpatine, and it's all thanks to Ian's amazing acting.

[@coconutislanddrones]

Such a gentle and soft spoken man in real life yet he can transform into the epitome of evil in an instant. That takes real talent. His portrayal of Palpatine in The rise of Skywalker is possibly his best yet. Genuinely frightening & chilling.

[@theverminmediaareyourenemi5612]

I love Sidious. He used his enemies to prop him up as Emperor. Conquered the Galaxy with nothing but guile and deception, and yes, a pair of brass balls.

[@madness9651]

Well, and the Trade Federation, Techno Union, the Geonosians, the IntergalacticBanking Clan, the Commerce Guild, the Corporate Alliance, Hyper-Communications Cartel, their droid armies, two Sith Lords, a clone army made from the deadliest bounty hunter of the galaxy, half the senate on his payroll and a cursed Gungan forced to lead the Chosen One into his hands and the Galactic Republic into ruin...

[@TheRomanRuler]

Not really sure if he deserves 5 stars. Or 10/10. Maybe 100/100 is best. Best villain ever.

[@cloroxbleach2961]

TheRomanRuler 10/10 is the same thing as 100/100...

[@Nutterbutter123]

Clorox Bleach lmao

[@TheRomanRuler]

Clorox Bleach But remember that with rating system from 0 to 100 movies that get 10/10 might only get 99/100. So in practice it is harder to get 100/100 than 10/10.

Watching Episode 3 now and thanks to the wonderful performances of Ian, Ewan, Hayden, and co., this is definitely the best of the Prequel Trilogy movies! 👍👏

[@KevinLuper99]

​@@paulk1773shut the fuck up and don't watch them then. Wah wah wah. Gotta bitch about SOMETHING. 🙄

[@BDSbowling]

Palpatine is such a cool character. He’s a guy who was completely corrupted by power. He represent a kind of evil that is very present in real life imo

[@69GUNOT]

He wasn't corrupted by anything, he was born pure evil. He killed his entire family when he was young for no apparent reason.

[@bdr113080]

Ian McDiarmid is just an awesome actor all the way around. Much respect for him.

[@nathanbardele7623]

I love the prequels. They are great

[@fundhund62]

They are every bit as good as the original trilogy! I personally like them a bit better, although I grew up with episodes 4-6, and saw them in theater.

[@geraldwilson681]

Ian McDiarmid a true thorough actor in every essence. No one can copy this man in this role sheer excellence!!

If anything. He was absolutely amazing in the prequels I loved every moment of Palpatine on screen.

[@AngryHistorian87]

If Darth Sidious was a real person and I meet him, I would shake his hand. Darth Sidious is AWESOME!!!!! Respect to Ian for playing the character SO well

[@miroslavtomic7038]

Probably the only actor in history who first played an older version of the character and then almost 20 years later played the younger version of the same character. I don't know any other actor ever who has done the same.

[@_Dovar_]

What a powerful wave of nostalgia. A journey back to the days when "Star Wars" was good...

[@danukil7703]

What I always admired about Sidious was what a master in social interaction he was. He created a full alternate persona, projecting it to the public in order to gain power, and deceived everyone up until it was too late for anyone to stop him. Truly, this kind of villain is very interesting to see; the evil genius, whose downfall is caused by their own hubris.

[@thedarktimewatcher1658]

such an underrated character

[@samuelstensgaard4828]

It wasn't his fault that he was such an awful character, no one can survive George Lucas's bad dialogue.

[@yugiyami8642]

@Tom Caine to be fair, pun so intended, Vader wasn't all that level headed in OT

[@rickblaine9670]

@Eddie Venkman Well, you have to consider that Vader is an almost completely different person. Anakin didn't have to be majestic and imposing only because Vader is. On the contrary, it makes sense that Vader literally is everything that Anakin was not. This said I'm not denying the bad writing issues of the Prequels, and the fact that Christensen is not exactly Anthony Hopkins, but there is at least something good about his casting.

[@Krystalmyth]

I loved Hayden. Even when I was young o recognized the annoying parts of his role were just how he was written. I saw Jumper just because of him. That movie was deplorable but he was still the best part of that film as well. Hayden is fantastic. People just have no insight.

[@TitanFind]

The problem is that the dialog and direction in “Clones” are so sloppy that Christensen ends up looking terrible. But he’s really pretty good in “Sith”.

[@cragerzz]

So did no one else get Ians dirty joke? "I havent seen a polished helmet since those days" 🤣

[@64DrPeppers]

[@davyjonesvideos]

For Star Wars to have two iconic villains is amazing

[@newton2105]

Leave it to the two British guys, McDiarmid and McGregor, to make the prequels watchable. Plus he seems like a gentleman and really nice guy.

[@darthstarkiller1912]

Don't forget Christopher Lee as Dooku

[@TitanFind]

Yeah, I suppose there was no stand-out American actor (or performance, at least) in the prequels. In the OT the real MVP actor was Harrison Ford.

[@eltonsmith1345]

TitanFind yeah usually I’d go to Sam Jackson but if you actually watch his performance it’s very spaced out, theatre training as taught by British academies is very disciplined - doesn’t matter if you’re on stage/set for a pay check, you never let on

[@condor7430]

TitanFind I liked Sam Jackson, he did act very well.

[@darkthorpocomicknight7891]

By fanboy I'm sure you're trying to imply that I have an irrational favoritism of the OT, but yes I do hold ep 4-6 in much higher regard than ep 1-3, as it should be.

[@HellgateCA]

While i dislike Christianson's acting (Though i blame dialogue among other things) I definitely agree the opera scene in episode 3 was one of the strongest scenes in all three of the prequels. Also loved the amount of lore with darth plagueis

Ian was the only one out of everyone who worked on the Prequels who came out of it with nothing but respect from the fans. He gave the best performance of the trilogy BY FAR.
