Yeah, when I saw that happen in the theater I shouted out, "Weak!"
Come on. There had to have been a better way of explaining what happend to him. Or just left him alone. The way he looks in ROTJ, I just assumed that is what old age and a life time of using the Dark Side does to someone. Sure you have UNLIMITED POWER!! but you also loose everything else. He became the ugly that he was.
Force lightning melting is face? He should have just shouted out then, "I'm melting! MELTING!! What a world, what a world..."

Although, I didn't like the way the Emperor became old, as mentioned. Force lightning against himself. Pshaw.

Same here.....I thought it was weak as hell. I figured that the Emperor looked that way cuz that's what happens to you after you use the dark side your whole life.
And if you recall when Vader was unmasked, Sebastian Shaw's face was that ghostly grey just like the Emperor's was, so I thought that was what happened. The dark side takes its toll on you physically.
It was such no brainer and hella cool to have it that way. Just further proof that not only does Lucas not have a clue about his own creation, but he just doesn't care either.
