McDiarmid (Palpatine) A
McDiarmid (The Emperor) D
McGregor A-
Christopher Lee A-
Liam Neeson B+
Pernilia August B+
Hayden Christenson D
Natalie Portman C
Jake Lloyd D (I give him a D cause he is only 10 years old, and I can't give a kid an F)

Overall, I think the great actors stepped up in their roles, but the problem is the main characters are Lloyd/Portman/Christenson and the bulk of the drama/chemistry comes from them, and that is why the great actors in the cast couldnt save it.
