Probably because they got Ian McDiarmid for the part. The Emperor only had a thirty second scene in Empire Strikes Back so it wouldn't have been worth all the trouble to look for someone who could actually play the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. They probably didn't even know what the Emperor would look like at the time.

And even if they had gotten Clive to play the Emperor in Return of the Jedi it would've still looked different, because he only did the voice in TESB, the actual part was played by an old woman with chimpanzee eyes superimposed over her (http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/palpatine/?id=bts).

If thats true then I am very happy about this change. I thought Clive was the emperor there. I had no idea the Emperor was originally a women. This should have been done in 1997. Personally I love all the new changes except Hayden head and Bobas voice.

well thats some news to me
