man i have jsut been reading the PT books in the last few months, and man i have to say that pali is starting to become my favorite sw character. he is jsut SO god damn smart, the way he took down the jedi order, and the way he rose to the top of the republic was just masterful. i noticed it int he PT as well. yeah the movies werent well made, and the acting wasnt the best, but the story, and the sith plan overall was just incredible.

Palpatine is the original Prune Face.

Speaking of Prune Face, which do you prefer?

ROTJ version (that I didn't realize was a Rebel until I saw the toy the first time):

or

Dick Tracy version:

Not sure I'd wanna bump into either of them in a dark alley. The Dick Tracy one looks like death warmed over. Either he's a younger man who just looks ridiculously old for some reason, or he's so tough he has survived that long. The ROTJ Prune Face is a little odd. He gets style points for the eyepatch, but he kinda looks like an old woman (a burn victim, mind you), and his rifle is decidedly non-Star Wars looking. Heh.

I'm not familiar with the ROTJ Prune Face. Where is he in the movie?

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I'm guessing he's in the conference room where the DS attack is discussed.

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.</span>

That's what I assume too, but I just wanted it confirmed.
