I think it would be a excellent idea if Disney made a Palpatine origin film based on the Plagueis novel. Basically without the Legends filler, but Luceno's primary storyline featuring both Plagueis and a younger Palpatine on his rise from apprentice to master.

Yes that would be cool. Palpatine, Ian McDiarmid, was the best thing about the prequels.

I am very amazed by this interview. Ian McDiarmid clearly really knows his character inside and out, his answers were very insightful. He clearly cares a lot for the role he played, great video.

@hitachicordoba

7 жыл бұрын

definitely one of the most informative panels! Much more likeable and humble than Daniels IMO

Ian McDiarmid was one of the best things about the prequels. Those films were far from perfect, but I think they really rounded out Emperor Palpatine's character. Ian may have chewed the furniture a bit but damn it was in the best way possible.

@thewalrus45

Sidious earned the right to chew the scenery, his massive plan suceeded, he fucking won and got basically everything he ever dreamed of I can't imagine the joy the felt. But yeah Palpatine is IMO the single most entertaining character in the first two trilogies, he's great, weather he's openly a total evil asshole or a subtle manipulator he just works perfectly.

Agreed. excluding Ewan McGregor, he gave the best performance in the prequels IMO.

@1080TJ

7 жыл бұрын

As great as Ian and Ewan are in their own right, I feel like they gave the best performances in the prequels because they both had a great original trilogy performance to use as a reference when playing their character. Everyone else just had George telling them what to do. Great actors like Liam Neeson and Samuel L. Jackson were reduced to talking like robots because they had nothing else to go off of. The young actors drew the worst hand though. They got the worst dialogue and didn't have a good enough reputation at the time to fall back on. It killed Hayden's career, damaged Portman's for a bit and completely fucked up a little boy's mind because people were mocking Jake Lloyd for something he had no control over.

Ryan Keaton - IMO, Ian McDiarmid is the type of actor comparable to the likes of Sean Connery. Very eloquent, and has that certain something only people from England & the United Kingdom posess. It can't be said completely in words, but you have to be in their presence to detect it.

It's great whenever he talks about how nobody had no idea Sidious and Palpatine were the same person, I remember that being spoiled for me when senator Palpatine was on a sticker or card or something then I thought "hang on, the emperor action figure calls him Emperor Palpatine" and that was the dots connected for me and for quite a few of my friends as well, we'd all worked it out from the toy line

I can listen to Ian talk for hours.

Ah Ian McDiarmid what a class act guy! He's always been my favorite SW character. When we were kids and everyone wanted to be Han or Luke etc, I was always intrigued by the Emperor and that was my choice to play. Thanks Ian for giving me so much fun growing up! You sir are a true inspiration to me and you seems like a wonderful fella too! All hail to the Emperor :)

Saw Ian onstage in his play 'Faust x2' at my local theatre in Berkshire a few weeks ago and he was just as forceful and magnetic there as he is in these films. Brilliant actor. Brilliant man.

They already had Hayden Christensen at the celebration, why wasn't he invited to the DARK SIDE PANEL I mean come on, he's fucking Darth Vader?!

2:40- Huh, so 8 year old me was not the only one who was shocked when I found out the young Emperor, Darth Sidious, was the same person as Chancellor Palpatine. That was a plot twist for me when I first saw it (I was too young to know of the EU stuff, where Palpatine was known as his name since the OT.)

He's a legend!

What a wonderful man. Love hearing him speak.

Such a great interview we star wars fans are blessed to have ian put on the cloaks could not evan envisage any body else playing the emperor

11:34 Shades of Mark Hamill and the joker. Who knew that Palpatine and Luke would go on to become such iconic voices actors?

I AM THE SENATE! Just do one spin off about Palpatine and Vader pleeeease!

This was a fun panel to attend and I added it to my vlog. Ian is such a nice guy, how did he ever get cast as the most evil man in the galaxy?! I loved the John guy sitting in the side bleachers as the "sub-par" Emperor! Wish the pre-show was included in this video!

Palpatine spinoff movie with Godfather part II format. Half of movie is about Sidious as the master of Vader and the Jedi purge, the other half a flashback to his training under plagueis

I adore this man!

I could listen to this man talk all day and never get bored. Shame he's only there for that one day.

I also thought he forgotten the line, but the way he respond using Sidious' tone of voice, I'm sure he knew the line but didn't want to say it. He would have sounded much of an actual politician; which is something that Sir McDiarmid seem to truly have a disdain for.

When it comes to these type of interviews and as a person I just love mark hamill and ian mcdiarmad the pair always give great insight and I could watch them and listen to them on this for hours

What a brilliant man, that Ian. May the Force be with him.

25:53 "Did you remember that one Ian?" "Not for a second, no" I died!

Loved this! Thank you Ian McDiarmid for bringing one of the most sinister character ever seen on film to life

Exquisite explanation about the Darth Plaegus scene when Ian answered the second question in the public.

Met Ian last year and a local con. He's so awesome.

I wish I've been there, I would have asked him if he had ever read James Luceno's beautiful novel _Darth Plagueis_ where Palpatine's backstory, about his rivalry and hatred for his father, about meeting the Dark Lord, being manipulated by him to kill his entire family, getting trained in the ways of the Dark Side, rising to prominence, being elected Senator and finally killing his Master the day before becoming Supreme Chancellor, are greatly analyzed. A pitty nobody asked and a shame that the novel is now non-canon.

its cool to see an ewok interview the Emperor Palpatine

17:31 Ian's impression of George Lucas was so spot on. Freaking hilarious. XD

I love how the guy who guessed the lines strugged with the ot but they showed just a pic for the prequals and he got it right away

Would be awesome if a movie with Vader and Palpatine/sidious in the timeline between revenge of the sith and a new hope

Defeated by a gang of teddy bears... ahahahah XD I can't stop laughing!

Perfect, perfect guest ...period.

His voice is so cool naturally

11:36 you can now see Darth Sidious possessing the body of Ian, as he unleashes a laughter of madness

Awesome panel Mcdiarmid and Davis are awesome actors and people as well. Who would have thought one of the ewoks would interview the emperor.

Wow his final words about the current state of affairs, so true. He's a good dude.

Just as I had forseen...

wish Ian had a few scenes in Rogue one. He was great as The Emperor owned every scene he was in. Very underrated bad guy Vader gets all the credit as main SW villain.

He's got such a great sense of humor too.

i love the right-sized desk

Ian has those funny sarcastic points, he handles them like a boss

I just love him!!!!

Couldn't agree more with his last comment. It's increasingly true.

Such a gentle and soft spoken man in real life yet he can transform into the epitome of evil in an instant. That takes real talent. His portrayal of Palpatine in The rise of Skywalker is possibly his best yet. Genuinely frightening & chilling.

I'm the guy who got to sit in Warwick's chair to ask a question at 34:44. :)

Can't wait to see him in episode 9!

They need to get him back for at least one more movie.

There seriously needs to be a Palpatine stand-alone film. Ian McDiarmid has earned it, hands down. I’ve had the opportunity to meet Ian several times already and he’s such a classy gentleman who’s such an absolute sweetheart. He’s one of my all time favorite actors and The Emperor is my favorite Star Wars character.

I lose my shit whenever Ian does an impression of George.

One of the greatest characters of all time well rounded out

Goddamn that speech in the end gave me chills.
