Eh...I'm on board with the concept of replacing Clive with Ian, but the execution of that concept that we got in '04 = epic fail.

Not only is the dialogue blindingly stupid; moreover, the ESB Palpy looks nothing like the ROTJ Palpy. The cowl is messed up very badly, as is his makeup. In fact, he oddly looks identical to the amusingly non-threatening and un-scary Sidious of ROTS, so now we're forced to make believe that he didn't age at all between ROTS and ESB, but then underwent advanced aging in the year or so between ESB and ROTJ...it's just stupid.

Add to that the over-the-top delivery. Chimp-eyes may not have looked great, but Clive's delivery was miles better than what he's been replaced with...
