I think Adywan gave us the best of both worlds. Shame he could do it better than the professionals.

The dialogue there has been edited to match the original, and the Emperor looks as he does in ROTJ, as he has been lifted straight from it, so what you’ve said above does not quite apply. It’s definitely a step in the right direction compared to the 04 SE.
