Ian Mcdarmid as the Emperor rocks. Thats one of my favorite scenes in the trilogy. That can't make up for things like ewoks beating stormtroopers, Bobas sucky "death", executer gets destroyed by a ship 1/1000000 its size, no major characters die. Also like Lucas said its all fake. Puppets or digital characters its all the same. It all ain't real. So people saying too much CGI I think don't have a clue.
