a little off topic but since this is a palpatine thread i just wondered..if hes sooo old y is it in the first movie he doesnt look that old at all, then from episode 1-3 he had a major hit of old age...can anyone explain that? im not sure how old palpatine is but over like a 12 year course it looks like the youth has been sucked outta him..now his age has been compared to be sometihng like yoda's not as old but old enough..so i just found it weird that between these 3 movies they decided to speed up his ageing process...
