at first I wasn't so fussed by replacing the emperor with Ian Mcdiarmind in Empire, but as for seeing the awful screen capture, and hearing the dialogue, I really expected them to do a much better job of it, what was wrong with showing the emperor shrouded in his hood like they did with Sidious in the prequals? He looks far more menacing and mysterious when you can't see his face, and even though we all know fully well what he looks like, they still should have left his final reveal to ROTJ,
There was a fake mock up shot floating around here recently that looked a lot more realistic, and why is the dialogue sooooooo bleedin' obvious, talk about dumbing it down for the kids, and it sounds so badly inserted into the scene, I don't understand why they didn't just replicate the original scene exactly using Ian Mcdiarmind.
