Why does the emperor look like sh@t
This question has cropped up recently on forums. Some people have suggested he suffers wounds as a result of a severe kicking from yoda. I remember hearing some time in the past that he was ugly because of long term darkside force use. Maybe it's down to self abuse. I don't know Opinions anyone?

It's a combination of Dark Side use and something that happens in Episode III. The new Star Wars Insider mentions that the Emperor's appearance will be explained.

well, dude isn't young, possibly dark side too, yes
but some rumors claim that he always looked like the one in EpVI, and that he uses the force to look "good"
(even means he keeps his "normal" face while talking to his apprentices in TPM and AOTC)

This is EU, but in Dark Empire they say its due to the overwhelming dark side energy in his body which cannot cope with it. That's why he needed to clone himself.

The Star Wars Insider says that something happens during Ep3 to make Palpatine appear the way he does in the OT.

The rumor, like the one said, is that "something special" happens during E3 to cause his appearance. That's all that's known so far.

Yoda sneezes on Sidious/Palpatine, then beats him with his gimer stick, right before they duel with lightsabers, where Yoda trashes Sidious.

There was a thread on <another forum> borne out of an interview with Ian McDiamid in which this very subject was greatly mooted. I will try to find it and post a transcript as it makes for interesting reading. Of course, if someone were to find it first and do the job for me...............??!!

The use of the dark side since longtime give Sidious the look he have in RTOJ. Nothing to do with Yoda battle which might have hurt him; though using such anger and hate could accentuate is poor looking physic.
In Epsiode III, Sidious will beat Yoda to such a shame that many fan will cry out that it's unfair, the dark side is much more powerful than the light side for the destructive side at the price of health.

Dark Side use, and age. If I'm correct, Palpy should be in his late 90's by ROTJ...

it's either yoda, or he's been using the dark side to mask his age

He's old reeeeaaaallllly old!
 Sidous/Palpy has to be over a thousand years old... Remember? It is said that the dark side hadn't shown it's face in over a thousand years. Unless Palpy was spawned by the meta"whatever"ians recently. I think he's been in hiding, building his strength and the plan to take power. He's using the force to look younger.  |

uh...no
they meant the Sith in general. Not ONE Sith Lord. where in the hell did you get the idea that a human can live past 200 years old.
anyways...Palpy looks so decayed because of the Dark Side of the Force. It prematurely rots him physically.

perhaps cause the sith have been extinct for a millenia according to Ki Adi in TPM and the weird assumption that that somehow means Sidious is that old
