What was the explanation for the Sheev's face before the prequels?
there wasnt one but at least you found a way to make yet another sheev thread
9 kerns
sheev is an ancient sith who disguised his decayed old face and impersonated a noble from naboo. he was planning his takeover for centuries.
>image.jpg
What happened meme hustler? Did /pol/ kick you out already?
>>62725967
You mean Jar Jar was planning it
I had always assumed it was old age coupled with Dark Side corruption.
It wasn't until Revenge of the Sith till I knew Force Lightning would turn you into a frog face. Which only led to further questions like why didn't Luke turn into a frog face when he was zapped?
>>62726005
That isn't a frog face, those are just all of Sheev's laugh lines. If it wasn't obvious from watching all of the movies, Sheev was pretty much the only consistently happy character.
>Sheev Palpatine
jesus christ is george actually trying really hard to come up with the shittiest sounding name?
>>62725910
he was using sith magic to 'hide' his corrupted real form from the public, basically using his power to prevent the dark side from ravaging and aging his flesh
and either the backfeed from his force lightning overcame whatever sorcery was concealing his form, or he allowed it to do so to make it look like the jedi fucked him up
this is the correct answer, anyone who thinks he was wearing a literal mask need not post
Originally he was supposed to age into his Empire/Jedi appearance over the course of the prequels. He's noticeably more decrepit and sinister looking in Clones than he is in Phantom Menace, but then in Sith he reverts back to looking like a normal old man. Someone can post the comparison image.
>>62726076
>Sheev was pretty much the only consistently happy character.
I am not sure why but this also made me laugh a little bit. Now that I think about it, you are right, sheev is a pretty happy person in general. Is there even anything that can bring him down? (apart from being thrown down a shaft?)
>>62726166
He has so many good tricks up his Sheevs.
>>62726378
Oh god dammit
>>62726378

A car crash took care of that.

Before the prequels? He was a fucking old as shit evil wizard/sorcerer. What else do you need?
Of course, EU is fucking retarded, so they took it as Darkside makes you look like a zombie, because EU writers are shit.

i feel like the disfigurement scene was kind of unnecessary, it's only real purpose was to assure retards that HEY LOOK IT'S THE SAME BAD GUY FROM ROTJ
>>62726235
I was wondering why he looked so much older in AotC than in RotS. I always just thought Ian McDiarmid was aging backwards.
>>62725910
The dark side corrupts your physical form. KOTOR applies this explanation.
>>62728949
>Dark Sheep
>Darth Sheep
>Darth Sheev
>>62729298
This is the correct answer, despite all of the obvious signs Lucas didn't think everyone would make the connection that This was the same palpatine from RotJ. So he had to insert a scene where palpatine morphs into the decrepit monster that we see 20 years later. No amount of head-canon hand waving fixes this.

Since this is the most prominent SW thread- Are any of the prequel fanedits good?

>Sheev

He stabbed the Jedi in the back.
It was supposed to be like this
Sheev's "normal" appearance was camouflage, it wasn't until he had his lightening reflected back at him that it receded.
The dark side corrupts your appearance. Look at Anakin's eyes after he's proclaimed darth vader and it's seen already.
I thought sheev used up so much force juice that he revealed his true self desu senpai

Was anyone else surprised when sheev force-grabbed that saber from his shleeve and then performed his signature move, the sheev cleave?
>>62730818
Yeah, it was pretty great. Sheev really was the best part of the prequels, and a surprisingly decent guy too. Anyone else think he looked pretty peeved when Anakin got Christopher Reeved?
>>62730613
Lucas said that it was the lightning that fucked his face up.The 'dark side masking his real appearance' theory is gone.
>>62731023
What was wrong with starting an empire, anyway? How is any shit going to get done with a Senate for an entire fucking galaxy arguing and filabustering all day?
>>62731243
Yeah well what does Lucas know?
>>62731345
That was the exact point of the first film wasnt it? All the bureaucracy meant that nothing was getting done about Naboo. Sheev was literally the Hero of the story.
>>62731243
Lucas also came up with this
>>62731345
>Before the Empire is established
Massive bitchfests about trade routes that never get solved, cult-like religion protecting and endorsing child slavery, standard of living is incredibly low with no sense of pride in the people.
>after the Empire is established
Thunderous applause, well-managed trade routes, an incredibly safe and moon-sized mobile living quarters with more than enough weaponry to properly protect the soldiers and common citizens within, overflowing amounts of pride and discipline, no widespread incidents of a certain cult running around trying to interfere with and assassinate government officials
Sheev was a real human bean
>>62731433
WO NI TANG!

>A car crash took care of that.

Holy shit that's cringy as fuck.
>>62730580
This looks much better tbqh w/u familia
Extreme advanced age. That he was kept alive by magic.
They kept the magic keeping him alive thing but made him way to young in the prequels.
https://youtu.be/ve1889zS030
sheev thread thx
Why does he keep getting called "Sheev Palpatine" if his "real" name was really Darth Sidious? Sheev was a good friend, shouldn't they be two different people from a certain point of view?
Well sheev is like 90 in ROTJ or something plus dark side makes you get all pale and weird
>>62731243
God I fucking hate Lucas
>>62726378
Not just tricks
>>62732528
Go to 30 seconds in
>Are you questioning me, Master Jedi?
What did Sheev mean by this?
>>62729771
anyone
>>62726883
But the idea came from Lucas first. When Anakin fell his eyes turned yellow because Dark Side. That was never a thing before.
>>62730580
What's this from?
Somebody had it saved on their computer, then attached it to their post
>>62732563
Why do they insist on Sheev needing lightsabers? Why does he need two here for two sub-par Sith when he only needed one for four Jedi Masters?
>>62732795
I don't think Sheev really needs anything. He's just fucking around, having a good time, doing whatever seems fun at the moment.
>>62732795
He's the Perfect Cell of sci-fi movies
>>62732819
The idea of him using lightsabers specifically to mock the Maul Bros. dependence on them does actively make the scene better.
Palpatine/Vader 2016!
>>62726378
>>62725910
He was an ugly ass nigga
>>62730734
>shiva
you do know that he is worshiped as a good guy in hinduism right?
>americans actually believe hades is a satan like figure too
He's old as fuck that's the explanation.
>>62732795
Because Jorge couldn't understand that Palpy and Yoda were too powerful for the need of lightsabers. Their mastery of the force was so great it wasn't just limited to shooting lightning and make massive objects levitate. It's literally just an excuse to have the most ridiculous acrobatic lightsaber fights.
Did you guys now the sheev scream is documented?http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_scream
>>62732563
I really thought Star Wars names couldn't get worse
Then I heard "Savage Opress"
>>62725910
Who cares?
>>62733057
You can see him having a giggle to himself.
He could have force crushed them like at the beginning of the fight, any time he wanted.
>>62731387
but sheev was the one who made the whole naboo thing happen
>>62737743
Sheev did nothing wrong
>>62735641
This, basically. Yoda tells Luka he doesn't even need his lightsaber to face danger, while Sheev actively mocks it as a "Jedi weapon." In the prequels, the lightsaber is a Jedi's life. Sad shit.
>>62725996
Yes, that's what I meant. Sry m8
>>62737743
Can't make an omlet without breaking a few eggs.
>>62732795
Jedi are weak tho
I think he was originally suppose to be an Alien in Empire, but then they changed him into just a guy in really weird makeup.
He kind of looks like a weird lizard man in the hologram.
>>62734859
well i think he's really sexy
>>62725943

>>62735490
Yeah it's pretty dumb. If any of the big three Greek Gods were "evil" it was Poseidon. And Shiva has all the positive and negative aspects of destruction.
>>62731864
How did Sheev know that spinning is a good trick?
>>62731869
When Darth Sidious took over the Republic and proclaimed the Galactic Empire, the shadowy figure that was Sidious ceased to exist. At that moment Count Dooku's good friend was dead, and only Sheev Palpatine remained.
>>62732606
>But the idea came from Lucas first. When Anakin fell his eyes turned yellow because Dark Side. That was never a thing before.
Yes it was. The EU had been doing that for years.
The EU also is where "Darth" being a title instead of a name came from.
>>62739847
Sheev has the second highest midichlorian count in the series, so it would make sense that both he and Anakin would know the best trick.
>>62735792
It's the second most powerful force technique in the setting.
>>62738452
>you will never be a hot Twi'lek slave girl sent to pleasure based Sheev
jdimsa
>>62739882
Ill try spinning in mid air,thats a good trick
>>62739882
Midichlorians impart intuitive knowledge of spinning?
>>62739917
apparently, but the count has to be really high
both Anakin and Sheev have midichlorian counts of over 20,000, so they've easily mastered spinning
Yoda has a midichlorian count of 17,000 so he knows about spinning but hadn't mastered it
>>62739972
There are rumors that it's basically the ultimate Sith technique, which is why the Jedi Council had an immediate, instinct distrust of Anakin.
>>62739974
Qui Gonn had to die for them to even consider recruiting a child that thought spinning was a good rick.
>>62725967

>>62739847
Yoda used it against dooku
He doesn't have a puffy monster face in the original trilogy, he just looks super old demon eyed dark side wizard
>>62740758
He was also much creepier. As fun as his scenery chewing in Revenge of the Sith was, it still lacks the charisma of RotJ Palpatine, who is just this weird old guy you know nothing about but Vader is scared shitless of him and OH HOLY SHIT HE CAN SHOOT LIGHTING HOW IS THAT EVEN A THING
>>62740772
>creepier
He seemed pretty friendly to me. Always with a smile on his face, having a laugh with the lads and whatnot.
>>62740849
Sheev is the best boss. Always treats you with respect, is understanding about your family problems. Really treats you like a friend. And those office Christmas parties, man...
Can anyone tell me what sound he made as he was jumping? It's been a while

What a good, kind, old-fashioned man.
>>62740955
It was so popular a move that people started calling it "Sheevmas" in his honor. I heard he cried a single tear of happiness when he found out.
>>62740331
this made my day
Sheevposting is pretty great.
>>62726166
This makes most sense i Think since he doesnt actually scream in pain as if his Face is being burned up
>>62726378
>>62732571
Sheev has autism and couldn't understand the tone of Mace's voice, so he had to get him to clarify.
>>62726378
>>62738370
this
>>62738431
I'm actually almost certain he was supposed to be if what behind-the-scenes shit said is true.
I seem to remember someone making a head sculpture of Empire Strikes Back Sheev without a hood and his facial proportions look so odd and make no sense at all. He was definitely gonna be some kind of alien, there's no doubt about it.
>>62740879
he used force scream
it was extremely painful
>>62739814
Sounds like Indians worship chaos gods.
>>62739847
It gave him temporary High Ground, the most powerful force technique
>>62742282
They pretty much do. Look up Bhairava sometime. Also Brahma is all about destroying the very idea of reality.
