I love Ian McDiarmid. He's such a treasure.

@stormthrush37

So I just looked up Ian McDiarmid's age. So holy crap...he's only 78. That means he was just 38 years old when he played Emperor Palpatine in ROTJ?!??? Mind boggling

@Commander_Appo

That’s my Emperor

@James.G.Ireland

Since I was 7 in 1989 I've always wanted to see a darth/palpatine series

@PaulScholtes1980

I honestly think he's the most bad-ass Sith in the whole SW franchise. A real legend and he's got my utmost respect.

@Justtellmetheanswer6910

When he came on stage he said β€˜HAPPY EASTER, THE DAY OF RESURRECTION!’ Best person I met at SWCU.

@marcusjenkins7051

I expected him to do the "a surprise to be sure but a welcome one" line after asked about being back for episode 9 but its fine.

@TheManInTheLongBlackCoat

If lan McDiarmid in his 30's can play Emperor Palpatine in his 80's then be in his 50's to play Emperor Palpatine in his 50's then be in his 70's to play Emperor Palpatine in his 120's then you can be whatever age you are and play yourself like you’re 30 years younger. 🫡

@PhantomFilmAustralia

If someone told me this old guy was Rowan Atkinson's brother, I'd believe them.  πŸ˜‚
