"I first saw Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi in the mid 1980's. It seems surreal that almost four decades later I would be meeting him in person, but not only that, also doubling & standing in for him! Ian was great to work with; in fact he was so delightful I can now truly understand why Anakin would have turned to the Dark Side for Palpatine."
―David Decio[1]
