I still have this nagging suspicion that the Prune Faces actually came form an attempt to depict the Emperor with a one piece mask.
If you look at some of the depictions of him in storyboards for ROTJ he looks less skeletal and old and more simian and alien.
Interesting, there's definitely a likeness between them. Where does this Prune Face show up in ROTJ? I only recall the action figures...
