EyeShotFirst said:Palpatine really needs work. I hate the way he looks in ROTS. The makeup people went way too far. Palpatine didn't necessarily need to be all deformed. I could see it as he was old and his powers were keeping him alive which in turn made him old and wrinkly. It looks crappy. I used the same approach ady did for ESB R. I plopped the ROTJ eyes on the rest of the face and blended it. Plus I undersaturated it for flow with the rest of the saga.
As I posted earlier I'd make the transformation even more subtle:
I wish there was a way to show the Palpatine transformation in a more subtle way (he has almost two decades of evil to turn into the pale prune face we see in ROTJ).
It would be more acceptable to me if the lightning accident doesn't happen at all but he slowing becomes consumed by the dark forces he is using.
