I always imagined that Palpatine in ROTJ was not necessarily consumed by the dark side or whatever, but rather just a really old man. I certianly didn't need to see him ending up looking identical in the end of ROTS to the way he looks in ROTJ some 25 or so years later. Did that lightning turn his skin to plastic? Why wasn't he aging?
