Why did they have to go and mess with his wardrobe. The thing that made Sidious/Emperor so scary and monstrious, was that he wore this black cloak with hood, and the only thing you saw were his hands and partially his face, though mostly the focus was on his eyes and teeth.

These new promo shots of him look scary, in the concerned scary that Lucas ****ed him up and wont look as evil, scary. I dont know why they decided to use maroon robes, cuz in the promo shot with Anakin, he looks not only down right ****ing stupid, but silly.

And his face itself, if you tie it all in, Sidious looks like Lorne's (from WB's Angel) mother.

EDIT: reported

he attached an image.. don't get your panties in a bunch, i'm sure the mods can detach it.


anyway, i agree with your point completely Hobbes. In episode I and II he had the dark robes, so maybe he'll be in them for at least a considerable time while he's in sideious mode.

Well now tht I actly see his face it is real bad.Maybe that is why he covers it with his hold because he does not want to be made fun of by the other storm troopers!JM

Hobbe5,
I didn't feel the need to quote you, so listen carefully,

I think it's not wise to speculate too much on the hows and whys of
Sidious'appearance.
Maybe he uses a variety of different clothes in the heat of battle.
Would you want to waste your most beautiful clothing for a couple of fights.
He probably has foreseen the fact that he must fight...so why not make a sudden change of clothes, they sure look more easy to wear in combat.
If you look closely at the Hologram-photos and the scene in which he stands next to Vader(all ep3 ofcourse), it is clear he wears his black cloak.

and ehhhh....do you still look the same 30 years from now???
and ehhhh...do you always wear the same clothes or feel the need to do so???????

No hard feelings man, it's your oppinion and I have mine!

Hobbe5, dude, it's a movie, get over it.

........


yeah, i'm sure he'll live..

but he has every right to complain about lack of continuity. if in episode III yoda was suddenly brown, people would complain about it, and rightly so.. even though it's as you said, just a movie, and not the end of the world.

to the best of my info is thay he gets put on three robes in the movie at part where he battels yoda its marron at the end of the movie its black

Sidious actually looks really good in the hologram pic and that 'snarling' pic. They're finished shots, so why worry?


Why doesn't anyone ever start a 'vader/sidious look great' thread??

Because sidious doesn't look good and the symmetrical vader takes getting used to...should've used ANH vader.

Oh come on. Sidious - yeah I can see your point, but Vader? Come on he looks awesome!

never judge a book by its cover

well there is a dark lord of the sith , the ones we have seen him portray the robes in ep I & II , and in this, ROTS, We have sidious completly craving for revenge; the characteristics have been blown out and based on revenge. a fair progression on the temperament. im afraid i shall refrain from commenting any further until i see the movie although i consider this topic as a petty observation.

Sidious looks fine.

Bingo dude.

But that would be like wherein the same clothes for 17-20 years.

I for one think that Palpatine's maternity gown looks
wonderful.

"that" promo shot (with the smile) looks ridiculous.....all the finished shots from the film look great to me so far though....but have to admit a shiver of panic when i saw the bad promo shot....

Come on.. it's a movie. Get over it, Hobbe5...

just a movie?.....hmmm.....i kinda doubt that you visit forums for men in black III on a regular basis and create custom sigs etc.....we will all see this several times at the cinema and buy the dvd.....even if it sucks, we will still do those things, basically we're committed to this thing in a much bigger way than almost any other film....so it's kinda like having a baby, you'll love it no matter what, but you kinda hope that it has ten fingers and ten toes.....

having said that this thread is pretty much a total waste of time....

Well said

HE LOOKS LIKE SOMTHING OUT OF POWER RANGERS FFS..

Ok........

Sidious is fat! WHY!!!!!

Was that whole thing where 'mace reflects sidious's lightning back at him and disfigures him' true or just rumours? Coz how does sidious get his hands and face disfigured if the lightning hits him in the face?

Man, I can't wait till the movie comes out - just so it'll end these stupid "Sidious gets scarred/burnt/crippled/melted/torched/electrocuted in a fight" rumours.

The fact that so many don't seem to know what scarring looks like is kind of pathetic.

ok, so what happens?

Sids will look great onscreen, lighting editing, & camera angles make a world of difference.

I don't know, thats why I'm waiting for the movie.

What I do know is, Sidious is not scarred in ROTJ. You don't end up looking like that from some sort of accident.

Seeing as Sidious has badly decayed teeth and dodgy Sith eyes - we know he isn't scarred because of this. Decayed teeth aren't things you can suddenly get in an accident. We also know Palpatine in "good guy" form has perfectly normal teeth - which means he is either wearring dentures or his teeth physically change or are an illusion like the rest of him. The Sith Eyes prove that he can change his appearance, at will or through emotion or whatever, so surely the rest of him can too right?

I'd put my money on Sidious simply wearring a "force-veil" to alter his appearance. Dark side clouds everything etc etc.

I mean, there's no blood or signs of there being any physical damage to his skin, no open wounds or even the characteristic shapes of scarring. Use your heads come on.

The only way he could end up looking like that head to toe by some other means would be to have radioactive crap gunked over him which mutates him - and that's way too Robocop and gory for a Star Wars flick.

I mean, Luke should be scarred badly because The Emperor was throwing lightning at him right? There's also no way Yoda would be reckless enough to throw some acid in his face, or Mace, or any Jedi for that matter.

Emperor being scarred is a rediculous idea.

i never said he did get scarred, i was just asking if that mace windu issue was a rumour or truth. i cant see a lightning blast screwing him up that badly either. also, GL or RM or someone else said we havent yet seen the full power of the darkside. so hopefully we'll get to see something REALLY bad, like force lightning only being a 1% of the power of the darkside.

well it is the first time we have seen his face with no shadows.

h**p://img196.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img196&image=palps2pt.jpg


he looks fine to me

where is that 4th pic from?

Probably when Palpatine is coming down the ramp of his shuttle in RotJ....

EXACTLY!!! Once you put him in some darker lighting with all the effects he will look great.

i think the complainers are referring to one particular promo shot where he looks like mrs. doubtfire on a really bad day.....that's the only one that's worried me.....all the shots from the film look great....and the trailer.....actually one of the things that's got me most hyped about rots so far has been seeing the palpatine shots.....but you need to see this promo shot if you haven't already.....it's hysterical....or worrying.....depending on your point of view....

Indeed...Deformed/Revealed Palps w/showing gritted teeth shot: Great...
Deformed/Revealed Palps swing sabre in trailer: Marvellous....
Deformed/Revealed Palps on hologram in BTH shot: Superb.
Deformed/Revealed Palps in the Promo in question: Ohhh dear.

He does resemble Death in 'Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey'
in that shot... PLEEEEEASE let it be a make-up test abandoned
or LFL office calender gag or something...........

Still, the first three examples of Sithliness I mentioned above
are pretty encouraging.... And there are finished shots......
Where as that "Promo" wasn't even finished - one of the
posters here, I believe, actually 'Rotoscoped' the 'sabres in...

So hopefully come May 19th we'll all be able to look back on
the afformentioned shot and laugh, relieved that our concern
was after all needless and undue..................

hysterical the things you guys argue about........

Hey JP... That was my statement not neccesarily arguing.....

yeah, but you can't smack your master down...

That was just a blanket observation Sadako. Wasnt directed at anyone i particular. These kind of things dont bother me in the least. As long as the man's not naked or in a clown costume Im good to go.

not arguing either, but that picture is just so shockingly wrong....not the costume either, don't think i even noticed that....too distracted by last minute replacement of mcdiarmid with john candy....

Oh well. It's only a picture. I think it's fine myself. I'm not one to fuss over every damn thing that comes out. There's gonnna be goods, and bads.

The real thing to judge will be what's in the movie.

.

I see nothing wrong with that picture.

He loks awesome in the pic. He is going to look badass in the movie fighting.

man, that picture of sids is so gross. nastier every time i look at it. look at the dirty a$$ fingernails. maybe they're just burnt from shocking dudes all the time. i know if i could shock people with my hands i'd do it all the time. maybe that explains why he's always smiling too.

now i'm worried.....maybe lucas can't see anything wrong with it either....and in two months time we'll all be going to see "Episode III: Revenge of the Fat Old Drag Queen".....i just have a particular view of palpatine, and it sure as hell aint this.....and now that i look at it again, the costume IS part of the problem.....

I have some curtains that look like that costume

well, now you know what would happen if you made clothes out of them....

LOL the secrets of the sith are revealed, the darkside clouds everything with my curtains!

He does look like he has been eating too many Sith twinkies

even the way he's holding his sabre and smiling.....like someone's grandma at a bad christmas party waving a sparkler after one too many gin and tonics.....

palps saber is tiny.
I wonder if thats a reflection of his......................

Yes but he has two sabers so what does that mean?

he swings both ways
tbh

I hate that turd-brown robe. Why is it brown?

Why does Dooku wear brown too? Whats with the shit-brown?

coz its this seasons colors?

plus it means he can color co-ordinate himself with anikan! i mean have u ever tried putting dark blue and dark brown next to each other?

HELLO?

Brown is slimming

so what? without that brown he'd look even fatter? a 300 pound sith lord? DEAR GOD

brown is the way to slim...

And vertical stripes

Or exercise

i dont like it how sidious laughs.
i always thought of him as being seriously evil.

He cackled and smiled in ROTJ..........

Erm, brown isn't as slimming as black.

Black is the best colour for slimming.

I mean Darth Sidious in Eps 1 - 2 look fine - now the switch to brown has CAUSED all these "fat remarks", even though he's been that size since he started the PT. THINK!

Browns the new black!

Yay!

Black is classic, but old.
Brown makes a cut, especially with a pin stripe

He looks retarded, i think its a fake.

so where do you think he keeps his saber on him in that outfit?? i can't find the pockets.

at least he doesn't have that puffy lookin cloak on in this pic:




http://img187.exs.cx/img187/3420/mastersidious0av.jpg

i'm actually pretty sure they just threw something on for the photo shoot.....lord, i hope so.....nothing i've seen from the film so far looks so bad.....quite the contrary.....

Is the pic with Obi-Wan from Episode 3? It looks real!
...or not???...

It is real and it came from here, http://www.aptirrelevance.com/sw-archive/searchresults.php?browse=rots

deffinately real pic

nice pic

I love that pic so much I had to add subtitles..........

It sure is a nice pick...but somehow I got the strange feeling, that Sids wants Ani to take a closer look at his ****!

Sidious; "I wonder if you have honest feelings about my ****, young Skywalker?"
Anakin; "It is clear, in this case size does matter, my Master!"

...........just kidding!

.........Rock on!!!!!!

screw u not u jkozzy u sound
