Star Wars is an American epic space opera multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.
The Star Wars franchise depicts the adventures of characters "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", in which humans and many species of aliens (often humanoid) co-exist with robots (typically referred to in the films as 'droids'), who may assist them in their daily routines; space travel between planets is common due to lightspeed hyperspace technology. The planets range from wealthy, planet-wide cities to deserts scarcely populated by primitive tribes. Virtually any Earth biome, along with many fictional ones, has its counterpart as a Star Wars planet which, in most cases, teem with sentient and non-sentient alien life. The franchise also makes use of other astronomical objects such as asteroid fields and nebulae. Spacecraft range from small starfighters, to huge capital ships such as the Star Destroyers, to space stations such as the moon-sized Death Stars. Telecommunication includes two-way audio and audiovisual screens, holographic projections, and HoloNet (internet counterpart).
The universe of Star Wars is generally similar to ours but its laws of physics are less strict allowing for more imaginative stories. One result of that is a mystical power known as the Force which is described in the original film as "an energy field created by all living things ... [that] binds the galaxy together". The field is depicted as a kind of pantheistic god. Through training and meditation, those whom "the Force is strong with" exhibit various superpowers (such as telekinesis, precognition, telepathy, and manipulation of physical energy). It is believed nothing is impossible for the Force. The mentioned powers are wielded by two major knightly orders at conflict with each other: the Jedi, peacekeepers of the Galactic Republic who act on the light side of the Force through non-attachment and arbitration, and the Sith, who use the dark side by manipulating fear and aggression. While Jedi Knights can be numerous, the Dark Lords of the Sith (or 'Darths') are intended to be limited to two: a master and their apprentice.
Force-wielders are very limited in numbers in comparison to the population. The Jedi and Sith prefer the use of a weapon called a lightsaber, a blade of plasma that can cut through virtually any surface and deflect energy bolts. The rest of the population, as well as renegades and soldiers, use plasma-powered blaster firearms. As a result of galaxy-scaled politics (involving republics, empires, kingdoms, alliances, etc.), all this weaponry is made use of in various military conflicts during which most Star Wars material takes place. In the outer reaches of the galaxy, crime syndicates such as the Hutt cartel are dominant. Bounty hunters are often employed by both gangsters and governments. Illicit activities include smuggling.
I couldn't imagine anyone else playing Sheev Palpatine. Could you?? "Dalsidious" lol
❤😂🎉😮😅❤😂🎉😮😅❤😂🎉😮😅❤😂🎉😮😅
HE IS THE 1 AND ONLY LORD DARTH SIDIOUS AKA CHICHARRÓN SHEEV PALPANTINE THE EMPERIOUS LEADER OFF THE DARKSIDE OFF EXOEVIL ACTOR IAN MCDIRMID IN THE WORLD OFF STARWARS TRILOGYS !
The answer is, of course, no!
I SMELL JEALOUSY LATELY !
How lazy are you? Didn’t even bother to correct “balbsie”. Loser mentality
Ian played old Palpatine when he was young, then he played young Palpatine when he was old. 😮
extremely interesting lol
i was looking at his young other roles in the late 70s and i saw he was 10kg/22 pounds slimmer and i think that's why he worked lot better as an old evil emperor consumed by his dark power. in the new movies he is too puffy and his head seems to big
The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider…unnatural..
😂😂😂
He’s the best😊
😂😂😂
This was honestly really trippy to my teenage brain to think about when I grasped the concept of “actors” and “acting” 😂😂😂
You can tell Ian McDiarmid is having the time of his life in any scene he's playing Darth Sidious.
Yea, he truly loves playing the character
Ah man u can tell especially in the Sidious vs Windu scene bro was geekin tf out with those facial expressions💀
And we had the time of our lives watching his master acting in the movies.
Facts, in my opinion he almost single handily is the reason why RotS is rated as highly as it is. He’s definitely the best actor in the film. Ewan and Hayden are tied for second place but Ian is just the GOAT
@@WafleEnterprises yup. He portrays one of the best villainous depictions of evil ever seen on the silver screen in my opinion
This was casting perfection. He was born to play that role.
that he was
OH ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!
he is true sith lord, who played sith lord to make people think he is not a sith lord, but actor
Something, something, something...........dark side.
He basically created the role. He didnt acted as palpatine, his acting is what created palpatine
I always knew chancellor Balbsie was actually Dalsidious.
Aaaaah yes ! General Dalsidious !
@@jayswfaYou are a balb one!
Lmao
Dooku: "What if I told you the Republic was now under the control of a the Dark Lord of the Sith, Dalsidious?"
Obi Wan: "I'd say you made a typo."
HAHAHA still laughing about that.
Really, hands down the best, most evil-for-evil's sake, sneakiest villain in cinema. You can always tell he really relishes his roles! 🤣 Props to the Emperor!!
That he is!
I think that’s why Ian gets so in to it, he can literally say anything that pops into his mind while doing his Palpatine performance and they’ll eat it up like it was served to them personally by the Gourmet
That's where I think where all these superhero movies have failed. It's always a sympathetic villain. Just make them 'pure evil' like George said.
He's on the same level as Joker, Green Goblin, Negan, etc.
@@Philvis77I don’t think it should be one or the other. Star Wars is famous for having morally gray and sympathetic villains, but it’s also balanced with pure evil characters like Palpatine
I remember a moment where Ian looks at himself in the mirror, full makeup and ask himself "What kept you?"
lol
😂
This guy as a person is so forgotten. I mean a total cornerstone of pop culture. I say THANK YOU for making the series so good
The series was NOT "good".
Absolute TRASH
@@yoholmes273What are you even talking about? You’re too old to be leaving these nonsensical comments
@@yoholmes273shut up 50 year old biased loser
@@yoholmes273either that or to young to know what the hell hes talking about 😂😂😂
that he did. Ian McDiarmid is a legend
Never forget that Palpatine likes opera during his spare time.
And tragedies of the Darths the Wisest 😂
Yeah an opera from a race of beings he absolutely despises 😂
The devil is British??
Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine talking normally is really adorable man.
so normal is basically senator Sheev Palpatine, he make differnt voice only when he is in his darth sidious persona, and emperor forward.
Must feel good to him that not a single fan ever complained about his character, he did an amazing job. One of everyone's bright spots in their Star Wars memories.
Ah yes, my favorite Sith Lord, Balbsie
😂
my dear sweet brother balbsie
Dalsidious too
BALBSIE **WHEEZE**
Palpy is so much fun he’s just pure evil and genuinely seems like he loves being so. A tortured character is interesting but watching a villain have the time of their life just being evil is a treat!
that he is!
Knows he’s born just naturally evil, so might as well enjoy it
“I haven’t seen a polished helmet since those days.”
Geez. Sorry to hear that, Ian.
Yep, actually laughed there! 😂
Balbsie you dirty old Scot you
Ian must’ve had a blast playing this role.
I’m glad someone else caught that because my ears perked up immediately. That my friends is what you call good old fashioned British dry humour. lol
@@cobrown3o I picked up on that, and I’m American!
One of the greatest villains in the history of cinema.
Agreed
NO! THE GREATEST!
No other villain even comes close.
I wouldn't go that far. There better villains out there.
If you mean "the greatest villain in star wars" I would definitely agree with you but outside of that nope.
@@number0017
So, who's better?
I said "one of the". Who do you think is better then?
Ian McDiarmid , Ian McEllen, Patrick, Stewart, Sir Antony Hopkins, Bill Nighy, and some other older british actors are a treasure that Hollywood only recently discovered. I will cry like a baby each time one of them passes away. Thanks to all
Dont forget Christopher lee
It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, because typically the best actors are the ones that have stage experience. And typically those type of actors are British. Are there fantastic American actors that are originally stage trained? Absolutely. James Earl Jones, Viola Davis, Whoopi Goldberg and Denzel Washington come to mind.
same here. They are all legends
@@notjohncena6492 RIP Christopher Lee
bruh... Stewart, McEllen, Hopkins, HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES
Uncle Palps is actually a chill dude once you get to know him.
This is actually very true according to SW Legends canon. Palpatine has a "best friend" who is neither Sith nor Imp Military. Sate Pestage is someone who Sheev Palpatine has known most of his life. He's always been absolutely loyal and never once failed a test of that loyalty.
Bro aged gracefully
This is 20 years old
lol
@@Daniel-Cruz that it is lol
this is one of those effects of duck side of the Force some may find unnatural
His performance was the highlight of the Prequels.
If I saw Ian outside at a coffee shop I’d shit my pants dude got the voice of a villain perfect casting
lol I would too
It's partially the unique way his mouth moves, which is immediately recognizable!
DO IT!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
"I havent seen a polished helmet since those days" lmaooo Palp u dirty dawg
My favorite character as a young child was The Emperor. Ian has MADE this series for me. God bless him.
Your favourite character? As a young child… why? I’m genuinely curious.
@@michaeloliver1143He not only overtook the Jedi but he also had the government of coruscant in his pocket.
“So this is how liberty dies, with rawring applause” or whatever the Naboo princess said.
Kind of interesting. I can see the prospect of interest.
I imagine some people also simply like the actor so in turn they like the character he portrays from an “appreciation of talent” sort of way.
Sidious is still, to this day, my favourite Star Wars character. Bear in mind, I have not watched Episode IX and I doubt I will...
@@ManDudeBroGuy I totally understand being appreciative of his talent when you’re older but when you’re a young child… well, I think it’s pretty unusual, that’s all 🤷♂️
How to tell you're a villain in acting and in real life and you're so proud to be that that's why I love Ian McDermott the guy doesn't care if you think he's evil he's proud to be and he's proud to be emperor palpatine
We are lucky to have had such a great actor play Palpatine for 4 movies.
5, if you consider Episode 9.
Nah. Is just 4. Not even Ian saved Episode 9...
@@user-bb6oi3xf2d 5 if you include episode 5
5... he also appears in the empire strikes back
@@kosmas173 I said the same thing but my comment's been deleted. I guess someone doesn't like that fact
@@more-reasons6655 many of my comments also get randomly deleted in some vids and I don't think it's a person doing it
Ian being older playing palpatine the 2nd go around is crazy. For those who don't know, Ian was palps in Empire and ROTJ as a much younger man. Such a fantastic actor!
@@Chan.711 if I’m not mistaken 35!!
Ian was only in ROTJ. He replaced the original scene in Empire in 2004 while they filmed ROTS
Before seeing this clip I had no idea he played the emporer in RotJ. Thats so wild, he was a perfect fit for palpatine by the time they filmed the prequels
When Palpatine first appeared in a scene I immediately knew he was actually the Emperor in later life. It was his voice that betrayed him!
It’s good to see he is really not evil . He is a very good actor .
I hate Palpatine with every atom of my body, but I love this man.
goooood
agreed
@@enclave6982 lol
I can feel your angahhhhhhhhhhhh
❤😂🎉😢😮😅❤🎉🎉😢😮😅❤😂🎉
He’s the best actor in every Star Wars
Alec Guinnes, Adam Driver, Ewan McGregor, Oscar Isaac are also fantastic
@@javiercortes5232 They’re not in every Star Wars tho. Ian is in 7/9.
@@javiercortes5232 Natalie is good too, only her lines are lame.
Harrison Ford made a good Han Solo, no one can replace it, as we saw in that movie
@@dr.decker911 I, II, III, VI, IX... 5/9, no?
@@user-bb6oi3xf2d phantom menace, attack of the clones, revenge of the sith, Empire strikes back special edition, return of the Jedi, and rise of sky walker so I guess really 6/9.
Probably one of the greatest casting ever in the history of cinema.
Agreed
George knew how to pick them for the original trilogy. There wasn't a bad pick in the lot. The prequels had a few suspect choices, but overall very good as well.
Yeah if your history of cinema only has about 10 movies lmao
Ian McDiarmid did a phenomenal job in the role of Palpatine/Sidious.
I dont think there was anyone better other than ian for the role of palpatine, he was literally perfect.
I can only imagine a talk behind the scenes of the prequel trilogy. People approaching him to ask if he wanted to play Palpatine again(and he did a great job showing how Palpatine became the emperor), and then he saying: “do it!”
I love Palpatine! Such a pure character!
Interesting but me & my son got to meet Ian McDiarmed at a comic con at San Antonio and he was very pleasant and we bought his photo autograph and he shook our hands ✋️ a great actor n the Star Wars story's 🌟 🤩 krazy Joe
Damnnn thats insane! I bet it was an insane experience
AHHHH HAIL TO THE EMPEROR LORD DARTH SIDIOUS AKA EL PINCHI CHICHARRON PALPANTINE AND 4 EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤😂🎉😢😮,😅❤😂🎉😢😮😅❤😂🎉
One of the best bad guys ever
This guy has not cracked 80 yet. That is absolutely insane.
A brilliant actor. Remember him particularly from an Inspector Morse episode where he really stole the show.
Fantastic actor. Humble and extremely professional.
He is THE ONLY reason to watch the sequel trilogy, and the absolute best thing about the prequel trilogy. You cannot say this enough, but this man is a GOD of acting. Masterful in his craft in so many ways
Absolutely!! I could watch 10 just about him, as long as he's in it.
Somehow, Palpatine returned.
Palpatine is one of the few villains that is actually just so evil and doesn’t try to justify his actions. Him and Carnage come to the top of my head when I hear a villain beings compared to the devil.
If I saw Palpatine in public I would go up to him and say “hey are by by chance the senate?”
lmao
Something tells me he'd play it up and go into Palpatine mode
They talked like we weren't suppose to know that Palpatine and Sidious are the same person. We knew it at his first appearance in Phantom Menace.
I would love to see a movie of Darth plagueis the Wise and how he made palpatine into a sith
same
It shouldn't be very hard as well. They could just copy the already existing book and it wouldn't hurt the lore at all. The problem is nowadays directors always want to change the story to subvert expectations or just shovel in their own agenda and I wouldn't trust Disney to do it properly.
He would make a great Mr.
Burns for
The Simpsons
Ian could play the father of Mr Burns who picks up Mr Burns from school
Palpatine represents the senate...
that he does
He is the Senate!
@@Frawriest not yet 🤣
@@Draven-u9jbut he does have control over the senate & the courts
He’s so good in that role
Much love was at every star wars movie since 77 thanks for entertaining us all those years ❤😊
UNLIMITED POWER!!!
I didn't even need confirmation that was him. His infectious personality spilled all over the character.
Brilliant!!! Just BRilliant!!!
*Sees "DalSidious" in shock.* 😂
the entire prequels cast are so eloquent in the way they talk about the movies. always nice to hear their perspectives. i love the featurettes almost as much as the films
Great great performance AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great acting.
that it was
He is an amazing actor. As an 8 year old after seeing Return of the Jedi he was in my nightmares for a while.
DEWW IT!!
"Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth... Vader."
Ian plays those caracteres and made them come to life, it seemed so real, it’s amazing
This man is the G.O.A.T
That he is
What a talent. Him doing his lines sent shiver down my spine.
Never realised that it was a spoiler alert reveal that Palpatine becomes Darth Sidious. It's the same actor who plays powerful politician dude in the Phantom Menace and the one who played the big bad of RotJ...
lol
Especially with lines like, "Young Skywalker... we shall be following your career with great interest."
he Plays both Characters extremely well.. I could not imagine anyone else trying to portray his work at both!!!
Wait a minute! Chancellor Palpatine and Emperor Palpatine are the same person!?
That makes me wonder if old Ben Kenobi is Obi-Wan Kenobi..
I met him once and have to say he was such a gentleman and so generous with his kindness. He radiated warmth which was such a contrast to the character I best knew him as.
Some how he returned?
yup
He was awesome, never faltered once. He just gave off evil vibes and was insidious, calculating and ruthless. The Brits are great actors so Ian just put on a great performance. A true artist. Bravo 👏
I would love to see a Palpatine movie, Ian is the man!!!
Man what I really loved about the prequels was how both him and Anakin have a natural progression we witness on screen. Revealed himself in the dark side and the other requlinshed himself to it. And not because we knew it had to happen.
Delightfully over the top, embodied true evil and made the prequels super memorable.
He did a mind blowing job! His Revenge of the Sith performance during the floating show was my favorite.
I like to imagine sidius sitting in his senate chair late in the transition of power being like "ohhhhhh, I haven't seen a polished helmet since the days of the old republic"
Phenomenal actor and SW would have never been what it was without the genius of this man.
His best scene was the conversation with Anakin at the opera house. The whole scene is perfect, the pauses, the music, and the acting
Absolute f**king legend. He is quite frankly Mr Sith.
When I was a kid in the early '80s I always thought this guy was old. When the prequels came out I couldn't understand how this guy was still alive. Imagine my surprise when the sequels came out and somehow palpatine returned!
he’s definitely one of the highlights of the entire franchise.
His cackle is the best sinister laugh.
He killed that role. Actors, take notes.
This man is one of the most important figures of Star Wars and has maintained a strict form of individuality throughout 30 years
Imagine waking up and just living life as darth Sidious, that must be so fucking cool
This man’s acting made me root for Palpatine. I love his inflections. I just love everything about this man.
I love his line “I sense we have a great opportunity to strike a deal blow to the Jedi order, but we must act swiftly”
Also
“How unfortunate you’re trying to deceive me! You, have, become, a RIVAL!!” So good
He truly plays one of if not the best bad guy, that doesn’t cuss or behead. Great character presentation.
Couldn’t imagine anybody else playing that part! The guy is a legend!
Ian was so great as Senator Palpatine. I loved his deadpan delivery when he was talking about the emergency powers the Senate granted him to deal with the Trade Federation and he said, "I love democracy!". Really great when you knew what Palpatine would become!
He and Ford really kept their looks... crazy
He played this part so well
I love Ian he's great as palpatine and palpatines my top fav character. We need more asap
"I haven't seen a polished helmet since those days"
If you know, you know
When StarWars still gave me goosebumps. RIP StarWars
He matched the role 100%
Fantastic actor. I wish there were more movies with him.
It's really amazing how youthful they're able to make him look, after all it's been a really long time and he comes from a galaxy far far away. Somehow, he's back again.
UNLIMITED POWERRRRR!!! Those words will forever be engraved in our hearts when we play with electricity.
The perfect actor for the part. Awesome. Cheers mate!
Man his amazing voice alone!!!
Those old British actors are legendary: Ian, Ian McKellen who played Gandalf (Magneto), and Christopher Lee (Sauruman, and Count Dooku were AWESOME!!!
He's definitely the most accomplished actor in the prequels.
Someone should make a statue of Ian McDiarmid fast! If there isn’t one already! Living legend!
Ian is a remarkable actor. I would love to meet him in person one day..
When asked if he wanted the job, his response was- ‘I’ll DEWIT’
