Ian McDiarmid is awesome as Palpatine. It is as if he is the only actor who takes his role seriously. Some memorable quotes:
"I will make it legal"
"Wipe them out. All of them."
"I love democracy. I love the republic."
"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural"
I do like the first two quotes and have used them on occasion. The third felt too weak to suit the scene. I needed more from him to make it a proper explanation for his power grab, not just generic fluff of lovin' the Republic. Fourth had good delivery.
I did like some of the Watto scenes, just one of the more believable actors in the movies.
