The funniest part( 0:43 ): Interviewer: 'If we would have done this in the first segment, that's all we would be doing'. Sam Witwer: 'You've paid the price for your lack of vision'.
@@tanner1209 Erm.... do you not understand that this is the guy that the game studio based the character ingame on? He recorded the voice as well. So it's really that StarKiller looks & sounds like him.
“I remember getting the dialogue and being like ‘wait, this isn’t right! The emperor doesn’t talk like-oh wait a second Ian McDiarmid’s a better actor than I am. Okay wait a second. Oh! Oh, no, yeah, if I really work on this...” this man is a legend.
True professional, realised he was playing someone already played (iconically) by someone with years of experience more and adapted to whatever limitations he thought he had!
One thing I hate is the fact the stormtroopers barely talk now. In the old trilogy, the stormtroopers would always talk or at least say one line. With just one line, we could figure out which actor is behind the suit. Like the force awakens, when Daniel Craig was a stormtrooper & he actually talked & you could tell it was him because of the tone on his voice & a tad bit of his accent
I think Witwer was let down by the bad writing of the force unleashed. His acting was great in the game though. His palpatine in particular is pitch perfect.
@@SnarkyRogue He was supposed to be in Star Wars Rebels as Ahsokas new Master in Season 2 where Ahsoka would fall at the hands of Vader on Malachor and then Starkiller vs Vader would break out and Starkiller escapes due to the planet exploding... But they completely ditched that script
I love his story for Palpatine, Lucas Games crew doing The Force Unleashed when they realise ''Oh shit, Ian Mcdiarmid could't come, do you know someone that could do Palpatine?'' Sam was at the corner hearing it and he was like ''...You know, i did impressions of Palpatine in school, if you want i could do it'' They started recording and they were amazed by it, so they accepted. He still does Palpatine from now and then, but he's the official voice for Darth Maul. Even in Solo, Maul was played by Ray Park AND voiced by Sam.
Just when I thought I couldn't admire him more, I find out that he actually voiced Palpatine in Force Unleashed, holy shit! He's really one of my favorite actors at this point. Smallville, Supergirl, Force Unleashed, and never a role I didn't enjoy watching (yes I know about the animated TV shows where he voices Darth Maul but I haven't seen it).
Jack Leighton is funny you mention that because, in my country, the episode in which Maul and Palpatine fight, the dub voice actors are the same. I'm mean is just a funny coincidence.
Woah, this popped up in my recommended but I didn't realize it was SO OLD! I've always known Sam Witwer as Palpatine, along with Maul and mostly Starkiller (hope he's Marrok in Ahsoka!)
Every time I see starkiller or sam witwer in one video I feel this on my heart "I am not ready starkiller is too much for me he is just beyond perfect"
i love this man since smallville. I love him as the son and Darth Maul from the clone wars, a vampire from being human. One of my fav voice actors of all time. Hope he can do more Star Wars stuff for the future. I would love to see more Darth Maul from him.
He's probably the best voice actor I know of when it comes to expressing emotions that feel so real. I've only heard him in a few things, but I didn't expect him to be such an amazing impressionist as well. Man's got skillz.
Sam Witwer deserve a reward of best voice actor! I don't even recognize a voice! Same thing I dont even recognize johnny Depp on alot movie, Sam Witwer did perfect job!
SSGSS VEGITO Well....technically Starkiller was also Galen's code name. Either way though, its not happening. The Force Unleashed isn't canon. Either Sam plays someone new or he doesn't play at all.
Everyone: OMG he does Palpatine so well Me: Because hes the voice actor for Palpatine and Maul in almost everything other than the movies for Palpatine
Sam Witwer is an absolute gift to Star Wars! They should totally make Starkiller canon again.. I mean, the First Order named a base after him after all.. ;)
Nah, look a his face, look at the sharpness of his face. Shorten his hear down and give him to Lightsabers and we have our perfect Starkiller. EDIT: Fuck me, HE IS STARKILLER ALREADY. I was such a fool.
+The Stickmation Production illuminati also this man was darth maul palapatine (in both clone wars and rebels) and starkiller and palpatine (in force unleashed)
Okay I think I still have a recording on my computer somewhere or maybe I'll just do it again xD As long as you understand that it's Sidious and not the Emperor of course as in Revenge of the Sith.
It is really true what he says about McDiarmid by the way. There is footage of him and McDiarmid saying the exact same lines, word for word, in a Rebels episode. They had Vader call the Emperor and then Ian came back and redid the voice. The difference is astounding. It is all in the delivery.
His Palpatine is perfect... good thing he's playing him in season 2 of Rebels.
Is he really?
RidgelJones17
So the rumor mill says.
+GeekFurious he voice him at the end of the the siege of lorthal episode
And voicing Maul
I feel like he's voiced The Emperor in Both EA Battlefronts
His Palpatine is spot on, I love his version.
Lord Vader whose Darth Sidious 's voice impression do you think is the best?
liys540 Sams and the Original, the second person they used in The Clone Wars to voice him was okay, but not great.
@@BookishEmperor Ian McDiarmid voiced Palpatine throughout the entire clone wars series though...
@@GameTesterDev no, it was ian abercrombie up until season 5 since he passed away, he was replaced by tim curry, same first name, different people
He voiced him in the force unleashed
CAST THIS MAN IN A STAR WARS MOVIE ALREADY
tristan pena he played a stormtrooper in the force awakens
Nevermind playing the Emperor and Maul in Rebels.
He was in Rogue One too. lol
Wasn't he just the voice of a stormtrooper, like the rest of TCW cast? I'm pretty sure we'd all love to see him in person ;)
tristan pena he is in the Force unleashed
"You will give me the names of your friends and your allies... ANDTHENYOUWILLDIE!"
My favorite from the force unleashed
Ikr ahahaa
Yes! That line! That was when I knew the makers of TFU really got the character of the Emperor.
Our deaths will only rally others!
Your very public and painful executions will only serve as an example to the rest of the Galaxy.
The funniest part( 0:43 ):
Interviewer: 'If we would have done this in the first segment, that's all we would be doing'.
Sam Witwer: 'You've paid the price for your lack of vision'.
Koning Dylan right? 😂 that joke went over his head too
@@rjaymolina yeah :_:
lol brilliant choice for there yea
that was by far the best
He looks and sounds like Starkiller on a normal basis.
Darth Marr well, Sam IS starkiller, voice and face, he just needs to talk in a "darker" yet normal way to impersonate starkiller.
Emperor of Mankind literally was thinking the same thing
@@tanner1209 Erm.... do you not understand that this is the guy that the game studio based the character ingame on? He recorded the voice as well. So it's really that StarKiller looks & sounds like him.
Bark Lord of the Sith yeah I looked it up right after I commented it😂
@@jeanmichael2002 Best part was the resemblance was accidental. The character was modeled before he was cast for the role.
I think anyone is able to do a very good impresion of Papatine.. but his are perfect
+bumblebeeeoptimus That's why he is Palps in Rebels :D
Mike Stoklasa does a great palpy, that's why he voices him in Mr Plinketts reviews :D
Acdragonrider Videos not anymore he is not, thank god.
Agreed bumblebeeoptimus 👍👍
bumblebeeeoptimus I think it’s hard of the throat you need a deep voice
He looks like Clone Wars Anakin in real life
They used his face scan for the clone wars anakin he knows how to do the voice too
Bryan Tinti citation?
@@robin9031 what?
Bryan Tinti like where did you get that information from? A behind the scenes video or what?

True professional, realised he was playing someone already played (iconically) by someone with years of experience more and adapted to whatever limitations he thought he had!
I would love to see a conversation between Sam Witwer and Ian McDairmid!
I'd pay a month salary to hear him say: Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive.
Does Obi say that?
Palpatine
@@NinjaSushi2 Yup, as he overlooks the battle of Yavin IV grimly.

I'd like to see Sam in the star wars movies coming out. as a cameo, or a main character.
Lee S he was a storm trooper in the force awakens

Let’s just have him play live action Starkiller I mean might as well
Hmm orogonal vader voice is recognizeable
Woooooooooooo!
I think Witwer was let down by the bad writing of the force unleashed. His acting was great in the game though. His palpatine in particular is pitch perfect.
i dont think so, the first game was amazing. second one definitely sucked horse ass though.
Freiza Agreed
He's okay in the second one. The first had the worst voice acting I've ever seen.
He was brillant as Maul and Palpatine in TCW and Rebels.
...andthenyouwilldie.
Imagine Ian McDiarmid and Sam Witwer having a conversation as the emperor.
The force is strong with this one, for he belongs in episode 7.Search your feelings....You know it to be true!!!
eXxaric I just want to see Galen canon again. I'll settle for that much.

He has Palpatine's Chin lol

You mean a cleft chin. 😂
*The niggachin*
I never realized he voiced Palpatine in TFU! This man is such a true artist.
I like how he used 0:47 as a closeted smackdown of the host
Lolololol
Palpatine: you will pay the price for your lack of vision.
Chirrut Imwe: are you kidding me im blind!
His Emperor Palpatine impersonation at 0:32 is spot on.
I'd reckon Sam should play nightwing
YES
lmao,oceant master fits him more
zombielegacy261 this one too he voiced him btw and jay ryan as nightwing

It's funny how his impressions are literally him doing the Force Unleashed voices

Smallville, Supergirl, Force Unleashed, and never a role I didn't enjoy watching (yes I know about the animated TV shows where he voices Darth Maul but I haven't seen it).
Mine is “IM NOT JUST ANOTHER NUMBER! NONE OF US ARE!”
He’s such an underrated actor. Now that they are doing all these live action shows I hope they bring him in.
Still waiting for a moment in Rebels where Maul and Palpatine will meet again. It'll be Sam voicing 2 characters.
Maul, Starkiller and Palpatine walk into a bar...
Jack Leighton is funny you mention that because, in my country, the episode in which Maul and Palpatine fight, the dub voice actors are the same. I'm mean is just a funny coincidence.
He did a perfect palpatine. Holy moly sam witwer deserved to be starkiller in the games.
his palpatine impersonation was so on point
He now voices Darth Maul in Clone Wars and Palpatine and Darth Maul in Battlefront 2
Woah, this popped up in my recommended but I didn't realize it was SO OLD! I've always known Sam Witwer as Palpatine, along with Maul and mostly Starkiller (hope he's Marrok in Ahsoka!)
Sam Witwer could freaking voice an entire Star Wars show by himself.
"You've paid the price for your lack of vision". hahaha, that was perfectly timed and executed
0:38 is what a nergasm sounds like
If you keep clicking it it sounds funny lmao
nyess
@@trlopzzz6722 LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣
Watching this ten years later admiring more of this mans greatness. It’s so amazing.
Holy crap he's the voice of Deacon St. John, can totally hear it in his normal voice and i didn't even know who voiced him!
Every time I see starkiller or sam witwer in one video I feel this on my heart "I am not ready starkiller is too much for me he is just beyond perfect"
I'm beyond happy that he has stayed involved with the star wats universe since The Force Unleashed. Galen Marek/Starkiller lives on through this man.
He needs to be paid to voice all the characters in an entire Star Wars movie and just be allowed to cut loose. The dude's earned it.
So basically be Star Wars version of Jeffrey Combs?
i love this man since smallville. I love him as the son and Darth Maul from the clone wars, a vampire from being human. One of my fav voice actors of all time. Hope he can do more Star Wars stuff for the future. I would love to see more Darth Maul from him.
Most underrated palpatine quote, "oh im afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive"
How does nobody realize that he voice darth maul
Edit: Alright never mind alot of people already know just pointing it out to others that don't
Deadly Faster this is not a hidden fact. A large portion of the Star Wars community knows this
@@QixTheDS I know that just I don't think witwer mentions it I think
Deadly Faster gotcha
love how humble and respectful he is towards Ian.
That's it, I must now marry this man.
He's probably the best voice actor I know of when it comes to expressing emotions that feel so real. I've only heard him in a few things, but I didn't expect him to be such an amazing impressionist as well. Man's got skillz.
This dude Voice acted as Maul and Sidious but he looks like Galen Marek aka Starkiller
he is starkiller
He IS Galen Marek. He played him too and Malek is visually based on him.
He literally is starkiller
Omg. He's got the looks and the talent. Wow.
That guy looks like Starkiller a lot. Sounds like him, too.
jayive34 B8?
What do you think?
jayive34 B8.
Well, he's literally Starkiller so...
jayive34 he is Starkiller
Oof. The 'lack of vision' line was expertly done! ❤
I AM IN LOVE WITH HIM lol He is pure awesomeness!!
Sam Witwer deserve a reward of best voice actor! I don't even recognize a voice! Same thing I dont even recognize johnny Depp on alot movie, Sam Witwer did perfect job!
He totally nailed Sidious's voice perfectly.
Awesome my favorite Palps lines
He should audition for Star Wars 7.
Yea that would be sick
+FreakDaMIghet i want him to play Starkiller in a real life version
+kazhio HD You mean galen marek starkiller is a clon
SSGSS VEGITO Well....technically Starkiller was also Galen's code name. Either way though, its not happening. The Force Unleashed isn't canon. Either Sam plays someone new or he doesn't play at all.
FreakDaMIghet I don t know, It could be possible that they redo the caracter to fit in the new canon...
Witwer is hands down one of my favorite voice actors. I hope he does more Star Wars games. He reprised his role as emperor on EA battlefront 2.
Everyone seems to forget he plays Maul and Palpatine in TCW and Rebels.
thats because at that point in time clone wars was not into the maul stuff and rebels never existed yet
@@K1_Trains I'm talking about the comments.
Strive Indigo most of these comments are from years ago

I was wondering why he looked so familiar, I was thinking so hard where do I know him from then it hit me
NoisyGrenade Being Human.
I feel like that Sam's face is so chiseled he more intimidating looking that he really is.
“Yaaasss Kiilll Hiim lod Vaaduh”-palpatine
I literally love him so much
The voice is strong with this one
Sam is literally the goat 🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽
Everyone: OMG he does Palpatine so well
Me: Because hes the voice actor for Palpatine and Maul in almost everything other than the movies for Palpatine
Both of his impressions were spot on.
I really want Sam witwer to say I AM THE SENATE! in the emperor's voice
this guy is just perfect I love him so much
Galen Marek ftw! We need a Starkiller movie with Sam Witwer!
Sam Witwer is an absolute gift to Star Wars! They should totally make Starkiller canon again.. I mean, the First Order named a base after him after all.. ;)
Does anyone else think that Sam should have played Anakin Skywalker?
I like to think Starkiller was kinda like a soft reboot to see what Anakin could've been.
TheAwesomeDarkNinja True. But I was aying that I could so picture him as the actual anakin we got in the films...but WAY better..
sebastian stan ?
XTheBlackMaskerX No. Hayden Christensen
Nah, look a his face, look at the sharpness of his face. Shorten his hear down and give him to Lightsabers and we have our perfect Starkiller.

Now do Starkiller!
I met Sam a couple of years ago at a VisionCon. He is so nice and friendly in person.
My Sidious impression is pretty good xD
How about you Upload it then?
I'll consider it lol.
Please tell me when you do.
Okay I think I still have a recording on my computer somewhere or maybe I'll just do it again xD
As long as you understand that it's Sidious and not the Emperor of course as in Revenge of the Sith.
I'm so used to seeing him as Starkiller, even his real face looks CG to me.
the perfect person to play dr hyde on OUAT :)
OUAT??
Berni Jay Once Upon a Time
Its amazing how well Starkiller looks like Sam Witwer.
Sam’s eyes look permanently suspicious
Honestly this man needs to be in a movie. How has he not been in one yet?
When he talks normal all I here is Deacon of Days Gone
Same
This guy needs to be in a film
He could've done an impression of Starkiller, since he voiced him... I'll show myself out...
As long as he's talking outside of a palpatine or maul voice, he is starkiller
Emperor of Mankind Nope, he’s Deacon St. John when he talks normal!
@@a2t4r75 He's both in my opinion, I mean, _dUh_ :V...
Sam is one of my favorite voice actors of all time if not my #1 favorite

Imagine him screaming “KENOBIIII!!!!” Out of nowhere and scaring the shit out of the host

He could make an entire star wars series/movies with only his voice lol

Starkiller :)
This beautiful man redeemed a voiceless Sith apprentice Darth Maul and I hope he is in more to come
He's my favorite Star Wars character
I hated TFU and the Story...but damn he is a good voice actor...
