No kidding, Lord Vader. You are scary again, as well! That young deviant, the one who calls himself "Chad Vader", the one who desecrated your great name by voicing you in Star Wars Battlefront, has been UTTERLY FORGOTTEN!! By the way, great job destroying those rebels over Scarif.
Apparently, he uses an ancient Japanese technique that uses the stomach to project his voice, resulting in the guttural croak that he is so famous for.
Imagine being Ian, waking up and realising you’re late for something and saying to yourself in Palpatine's voice, "Prepare my Shuttle for take off, Commander. I believe that I am late for my arrival..."
He turns that darkness on and off so unbelievably. Like he became Palpatine in front of everybody and then switched back to himself immediately afterwards.
few appreciate that Ian McDiarmid is classically trained; he voices the devil in the Paradise Lost audiobook, plays the brief but spooky role of the Porter in Macbeth, and much more. Also, I was plesantly suprised to find that the Shakespearean Star Wars volumes are well written and not goofy
+Jessica Poggi Wow, he voices Satan in a Paradise Lost audio book? That sounds pretty awesome! :D I remember seeing him as the Porter in Macbeth, I watched it in 8th grade after we read the play. He was a bit spooky but he actually made me laugh. LOL I like how he broke the fourth wall in the beginning of that soliloquy by looking directly in the camera and beckoning us to come nearer, that was just so funny. XD Yeah, I read a bit of the Star Wars Shakespeare books, and seeing it performed here is just even better, I'm glad they're well written, too. It's honestly a shame that Ian isn't a more popular actor, because he's really good at what he does, his own brand of classic Shakespearean actor for sure. :D
It's crazy how his voice only gets even more wicked as he gets older. A part of me kind of wants Lucas to have him re-record his lines in ROTJ, since he sounds different and higher pitched there than he does in ROTS and here.
Considering all the changes Lucas made to the OT, it's best that it's kept as unaltered as possible in substance from here on. Considering the gap from when you see him on screen, I think it'd only be noticeable when compared side-by-side, or by the super fans. But then again, us super fans would notice any minor discrepancy.
@@ardas77 No, he was 86. According to several sources, he was born 82 years before the Battle of Yavin, which would make him 86 at the time of the Battle of Endor.
And to think he did this on the fly with no context. Imagine what he could have done if he had a chance to sit down and really dig into the passage. What an actor.
Classic, "Thy feebles skills are nothing when compared to all the power of the dark side." "I, Thy debt is due, and I am both thy creditor and thy collector, too."
Ian Doescher's Shakespeare rewrites are great fun. I especially like the pun he put in there. Palpatine's torturing Luke with Force Lightning, talking about a poetic debt he is owed, then this happens: "O what joy it brings to charge thee thus!" He's talking about charging someone while conducting electricity through them.
The Sixth Doctor The best part about those kinds of puns in a Shakespeare-like work, is that it's exactly the same kind of multilayer pun the Bard himself would have used.
+Whoami691 In the William Shakespeare version of Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine does get a version of it. And it actually sounds legit cool, better than in the movie. It's "O pow'r unlimited, I AM YOUR GOD!!!!"
It’s a shame Ian McDiarmid doesn’t get enough recognition for his role as the greatest villain of all movie history. He deserves more attention and respect.
Are you kidding me?! How have I not seen this before? The classically trained McDiarmid reading Shakespeare Star Wars. I just... no words. And he's so nonchalant when he finishes. A true gentleman.
It is ironic you used a quote that I, myself, used in the Rise of Skywalker four years ago...To be specific, "...and now, the power of two restores the one true Emperor!"
One-upping a character as intimidating and well executed as Darth Vader is ambitious enough. Making him a much smaller old man is even harder. Taking that concept and making it "real" on-screen, nailing every aspect of the character from casting and writing to makeup and leitmotif? Madness. I can't think of a single way they could've done better. George, Ian, and everyone involved deserve all the credit they get for Sheev. The character is one of the shining stars of an already very bright franchise.
The more wrinkles he gets the more he’s gonna look like the Emperor he won’t need the prosthetic makeup anymore, all he’ll need are just the yellow contacts and the dark circles around his eyes, then slap a black robe on him. That means more relief for him from wearing all those thick layers of makeup.
@@jespereriksen2223 Originally it was an old woman named Marjorie Eaton with a chimpanzee's eyes edited over hers, given a decent voice by Clyde Revill, but they decided to redo his debut with McDiarmid playing Palpatine for the 2004 edit of TESB
Ian McDiarmid was, is, and always will be Palpatine. No one else could have done the role with such unforgettable brilliance. Long live our most glorious Emperor!
Sidious is already scary enough, but if we saw him talking in a Shakespearean vocabulary normally a lot that would just be another level of horror for me 😭
In his natural voice he sounds like such a nice friendly guy... then all of a sudden this demonic sounding growl comes out of his mouth that just makes me want to shrivel in a corner and beg for my life. Suppose the way he can switch like that is what made him perfect to play Palpatine as the kindly Chancellor and then suddenly switch to Darth Sidious.
I guess that's why they had all the Jedi spawn in for Rey. I wish I could see the proper JJ Cut, if it's a thing, cuz it sounded like they had Anakin and all the other Force ghosts drop in to battle the Sith with Rey. Cuz in that case it would have been all the top tier Jedi masters backing Rey to beat ol Palps
@@seanerzat yeah that would have been much better, but my point is Ian the best actor in the entire series, in every scene he has gravitas, and his character is the only one anyone can take seriously.
Ian and Ewan are my personal justifications for the prequels. The rise of Palpatine, and the exploration of Obi Wan's pre-empire life were both well worth sitting through the negative aspects of the prequels.
Why do I have the feeling that J.J. Abrams saw this performance by McDiarmid, and that's what gave him the idea to bring him back in RISE OF SKYWALKER!
@@Sylinnilys Ian mcdiarmid is a Sith Lord you can be a kind old man and still be a Sith fucking Lord and he is the best I liked how he used to Sith Space Magic in the last movie cuz that's something he's known for doing in the Clone Wars in Rebels there was without a doubt that made sense to me
I hope Ian Mcdiarmid reads an excerpt from the Darth Plagueis novel someday. I would especially love to hear him recite the speech Sidious gives to him as he’s killing him. Would be a dream come true for me.
