Ian McDiarmid is so good as Palpatine. I love the movies of course, but is the Lego versions that always kill me 😂
Palps is happy the same way the person at the top of a pyramid scheme is happy.
Oh my you guys made me laugh with the Palpatine imitations. I needed that laugh. 🤣
He is such a mild manored man. Playing the evil wizard ruler of the galaxy. His other acting credits on film are rare but there some gem performances on british TV. I remember an 80s episode of Inspector Morse. He played the bad guy in that.
Another excellent discussion.
Thanks to Ken, Joseph and Jennifer! ⬛
Thanks for answering my question. It was everything I hoped it would be.
What if the stranger from the acolyte, since admitting to be very old, has something to do with Darth Plagueis and his ability to cheat death? Can we see the stranger, as a reborn Plagueis, the new enemy of Ray in the new Star Wars films? Now that palpatine is dead, Plagueis returns? Have been waiting all this time for palpatine to die. I think that would be a very compelling story, although I do fear if others may not LOL
If the Sith just used their own fear, anger and hate, that would be one thing. Their problem is that they use the fear, anger and hate of others and increase it for their own ends.
