It’s so silly. Palpatine ought to have looked in Sith like he did in Clones, and vice versa. That way it would be more believable that he looks the way he does in Jedi.

Indeed. Paply looks older in AOTS than he does in ROTS. I guess the “lightning deformation” is something Lucas improvised when he wrote/shot ROTS, because he obvioulsy had the primary idea that Palpy was just very old in ROTJ.

Maybe that “Benjamin-Buttoning” from AOTC to ROTS is another Sith Power 😉

If lightning hitting the Emperor deforms him, could that mean that Vader was still looking like Hayden throughout the OT? And his unmasked appearance is a result of getting hit by Palpatine’s lightning? So when Vader decided to thrown him down, he became a Jedi again while still looking young, that’s why Force ghost Hayden makes perfect sense. George, you brilliant writer mastermind.

In that regard, if Mace Windu survived somehow he should definitely look like Morgan Freeman 😉

That whole “reveals-his-true-form”-thing sounds like a cop-out. Like showing the death star construction at the end of the film, George thought he must show how Palpatine got his melted/aged face otherwise the audience will be totally totally totally confused when they get to ESB & ROTJ:

“Oh no who is that old guy hologram in the hood talking to Vader?! I’m sooooo confused!”

Yes, I would bet that for any official release of the original cut, it will have the Episode IV A New Hope crawl.

Except the most recent release of the original cut had no such crawl.

Suppose it would be funny if they played the GOUT DVD at this Celebration.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the GOUT so … it … could … be … possible 😉

I kept getting russian spambot accounts loading the Ep.1 subforum up with nonsense paragraphs with links to cheap pharmaceuticals(?).

in before “better written than Phantom Menace”

About your sub forum description …

“Fan Edits: chopping up existing, finished works into exactly what I need them to be because I’m a broken person.”

Is that an original quote from George Lucas?
