      A lot of people were part of the prequels, including Jake Lloyd, that people have mostly forgotten. The podrace is as significant as the cantina or jabba's palace for star wars, and that was a lot due to his work in it.

    Ian Mchdiarmid has basically been handed a character so Iconic that he at first didn't realise it. But as the decades has progressed he has and it's the reason why he's begun to take roles wherever the emperor appears no matter how minor they are because he's realised that he is the emperor. It's his character that he was instrumental in creating. I don't think now that we'll see an emperor not played or voiced by him until he is physically unable to do so as he's now fully recognised that he is both loved and respected for this role.

      I dunno, Revan as an individual was nothing short of godly. even without the force he was a strategic genius and shewd, cunning warrior.
      Then there is the fact he used both the light and dark side of the force to the same extent as palps.
      then there is the fact he was among the best lightsaber duelists in history.
      Even Palps admired and respected Revan and his acheivments and bane himself based the rule of Two on Revan and malak.

    The only man who can play Palpatine. The way he walks in you still can feel his unlimited power of presence

    How is this dude so grounded, mentally together, spry & still carrying a ready to work attitude at 79? The emperor is a role model 2 us all.
