Is it my imagination or has he lost quite a bit of weight for this film?

Dogg.

Something tells me that frames later his face starts to go in Sidious mode.

He has no hood in that pic that I can see, I wonder if his face will transform without a hood? If that's the case, how abotu his hair?

Yeah, he doesn't wear Sith robes in this fight.

If I recall from one of the prototype action figure pictures floating around, he still has hair.

Pablo said Sidious actually removes his hood a LONG while ago... he mighta just meant he'd be unhooded in this scene. Or maybe he does in the fight with Yoda.

Curious to see how it'll play out on screen. I don't like the idea of a no-hooded Sidious fighting.

guys please get the fuck off the hood.

These Spoileriffic leaked images take place after the leaked Spoileriffic Mace Posse image. This is the arrest scene.

The expression on his face is after hearing Mace, and this isn't an exact line, "You're under arrest motherfucker".

if the scene doesnt start with palps facing the window monologueing then swivelling round in his chair whilst stroking his pussy saying "i have been expecting you master windu" i will be pissed

seriously though these latest pics just keep getting better hope there is no dry spell soon due to the frenetic leaking!

Ian McDiarmid was only 39 when Jedi came out in 1983.

Here's a picture of Ian in 1980 in the film "The Awakening"

maybe your pics were old, we have seen most of th eimages floating around out there.

Kind of interesting, though, to note that he is actually younger than Harrison Ford. I didn't realize that until a few months ago.

The motherfucker part was added in a rewrite by David Mamet and later discarded by Tom Stoppard.

Actually, Palpatine is going "why do I look so fat in some pics and skinny in another? Oh yeah, it's the darkside power of McDonalds."

I know, I really don't like that. Seems like laziness if it's not explained...

Whether or not this is a fuck up or a plot point, we can still assume that a man of his station would have access to some amazing plastic surgeons or rejuvenative pathogens.

He looks the same age.

Someone needs to scan that Insider cover from 2001 with Palpatine on the cover for a more extreme comparison.

All this time I guess I hadn't even thought about Palpatine fighting as "the Chancellor", Then later fighting Yoda as Sidious.

I just assumed he transformed into Sid after Mace and co. pissed him off.

Palps transformations seem to be making sense now:

1.Palpatine hypes the powers of the Sith to Anakin on how to avoid death.
2.Mace is told about Palpatine's secret
3.Mace and Jedi confront Palpatine, to arrest him.
4.Palpatine either fakes defeat to Mace knowing Anakin is coming or is actually near defeat.
5.Palpatine transforms into his original ancient/pathetic form in front of Anakin to garner sympathy, and to mislead him he's just using the darkside to survive, and make Mace look like the bad guy.
6.Anakin disarms Mace, Palpatine finishes him off.

Obviously later on Palpatine has nothing more to hide, and appears in his darkside image, since Anakin has already turned and all the Jedi know his secret anyway.

Very Nice Riffic.. You've Out Done Youself

Thanks Mate

Aria Giovanni... Teh Hot... www.orsm.net has some galleries of hers under 'Chicks n stuff'...




No doubt the makeup issues are a bit shifty. Tony who's the girl in your avatar I want to bite her in the ass, get lockjaw and get drug to death?

Looks Like An Oompa Loompa There

Palpatine's skin NEVER looked that bad in AOTC as it does on the 2001 insider cover. That was clearly a bit overdone.

Does he look less pale in Episode III? Yes... but since we know he's been hiding his true age anyways, who cares?

There's also this view.

where'd you dig that up femme?

fan made i presume?

Nope, that pic [Femme's] is from one of the webdocs, I think. Forget which one, but that was a shot in a webdoc I'm quite sure.

Yeah it's in a webdoc.

so he turns to face them.. i presumed, he was sitting waiting for them.. interesting, thanks for that femme, i must go back and watch all webdocs now!

The webdoc "Pick-ups & Re-shoots" seems to show him turning to face Anakin, who is entering the room. Timestamp 1:00

I love these pictures and I love this set. However, am I the only one who gets a Star Trek vibe?
