    the emperor is the only character to me who goes from prequels to original trilogy with his character fully intact, and most of that comes down to Ian McDiarmid's performances! He was the best part of Revenge of the Sith and indeed the whole prequel trilogy, n still get exciting chills seeing the throne room scenes in return of the jedi!

      Don't forget about his theme music. One of the best themes in the Star Wars series, in my opinion.

    I love Darth Sidious/The Emperor/Sheev Palpatine or whatever you wanna call him, he's one of my favorite villans of all media and one of my absolute favorite star wars characters.
    Ian McDiarmid deserves a medal for his preformance as The Emperor.

      @Freshie207 8 лет назад +4

      +Bo Danville (BountyHunter01) He's one of the true highlights of the prequels particularly by Ep 3 Revenge of the Sith, where essentially he's the 3rd biggest role.

    • @mrxxbrian
      @mrxxbrian 8 лет назад +2

      +Bo Danville (BountyHunter01) best villain of all that were featured in the prequels, including anakin and jar jar binks

    @TomsSauce 10 лет назад +32

    Ian McDiarmid was the best actor in the Prequels, they weren't the greatest but he really took what he was given and made it work (same with Ewan McGregor but Ian was better)

  • @fitzpatrickgf
    @fitzpatrickgf 10 лет назад +3

    It was awesome that Ian was able to return to the last 3 installments to Reprise the role of a younger Emperor. Wouldn't Guinness Book of World Records be interested in that ability to play the same character twice 20 years later. Let's not forget Ted Neeley who played Jesus Christ in Jesus Christ Superstar for another 40 years on stage and Keir Dullea who played Dr. Dave Bowman in 2001: A Space Odyssey, filmed in 1968 and reprises his role again in the movie: 2010 filmed in 1984. Keir didn't look a day older from the part he played 16 years earlier. It was almost haunting to see that scene with Roy Scheider.

      Looks like I've spotted a sequel fanboy, LOL. Don't live in the past, buddy. Ian McDiarmid is a fantastic actor. And fuck, I'll even say Hayden is one too. "Oh, but Hayden is such a crybaby!" Yeah, well so is Luke. Give the prequels a chance! Don't live in the past, okay? Don't be /that/ person who only watches the sequels because it's makes you butthurt that they used so much CGI in the prequels.

    If you love Star Wars check out our 23 minute Star Wars fan film called 'Smuggler's Run' and it's now online on youtube (search for star wars smuggler's run).
    Our budget was 10,000 USD, we filmed at the original locations in Tunisia as well as Turkey, the UK, Hong Kong, Germany and India. We filmed it on a Scarlet and a Sony A77, I did the editing and SFX on a MacBook Pro! I hope you enjoy what we have done.

  • @RicardoMusch
    @RicardoMusch 11 лет назад

    He brought other directors in because:
    - he was setting up his empire, Skywalker range, ILM, Skywalker sound, THX, Lucasfilm LTD, financing the film out of his own pocket
    Kirshner and Marquand had little knowledge of VFX but Kirshner has great qualities with developing storylines on screen so he directed, Lucas couldn't do everything and Direct. Lawrence Kasdan came in for the story and wrote the screenplay.
    Credits on EP2:
    Directed, Written and screenplay by Lucas. Screenplay also by John Hales

  • @SecretYoungLink007
    @SecretYoungLink007 10 лет назад

    Warwick really is a funny guy.

  • @dtwhitney
    @dtwhitney 11 лет назад +1

    But to me, that's ultimately what a director is: a visionary. And although some of the dialog sometimes falls flat and/or redundant, Lucas really came through in telling the story visually. I'm referring to the aspects of filmmaking that distinguish it from theater like shot composition and editing in addition to the obviously engaging soundtrack. The most compelling and moving scenes in the saga have little to no dialog.

  • @EricGraham94
    @EricGraham94 11 лет назад

    I'm also taking into consideration how no other movie director directed, wrote the scripts for, and produced the prequels. For Director, Writer and Executive Producer, it was all George Lucas. In the Originals, they used Lucas, Irvin Kershner, and Richard Marquand as directors. The writer was Lawrence Kasdan.

  • @Eian117
