Is Palpatine’s face creepy, like in ROTJ, or fake looking, as in ROTS?
He doesn’t really look like either. The “melted” look is gone. He’s really just a pale Ian McDiarmid with white eyes. It’s hard to explain, but he has a bit of an old Lugosi vibe to him. Kinda like something from a Universal Horror movie. I’d even describe it as a ghostly look.
