KyleKatarn1995 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 I know there's already been a model of Emperor Palpatine, but I was really wanting the original "chimp lady" Emperor Palpatine that first appeared in The Empire Strike Back before they changed him to Ian McDiarmid. It's more fun to look back at the original 1980 Emperor because he looks so errie. Maybe someone will change the head to make it more like a female with chimp eyes. That way he'll look freaky. dark_apprentice likes this
KyleKatarn1995 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Posted April 24, 2016 Who actually remembers watching this scene in The Empire Strikes Back where Darth Vader speaks to the Emperor in the Hologram room? We first get to see our eyes on Emperor Palpatine looking rather scary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUOAbT6OATU
dark_apprentice Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Maybe it's because he (the original Emperor) was performed by a Woman, the wife of Rick Baker ---> Elain Baker. Voiced by the actor Clive Revill.Here are some other ref pics i found:shooting the hologram scene for ESBoriginal wax mask of the Emperor used in ESBToy of the ESB Emperor I've found:Old screenshots that i made to compare both JKO & JKA characters of Old // New Emperor1980:1983 - 2005 (ROTJ, TPM, AOC, ROTS) krkarr, KyleKatarn1995 and Langerd like this
Langerd Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 I agree... this mysterious scary looking (and weird looking.. He doesnt look like a human at all) He is spooky O.O KyleKatarn1995 likes this
Darth Sion Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 1983 - 2005 (ROTJ, TPM, AOC, ROTS) looks so much better.Is that your Emperor model, @@dark_apprentice? KyleKatarn1995 likes this
Lancelot Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Although the new Emperor scene is well done and not as inferior as the head of Sebastian Shaw being replaced with the head of Hayden Christensen, I prefer the original one. I watched it as a kid and it's still creepier and more mysterious than the new version.Of course I like the Emperor portrayed by Ian McDiarmid, too. But even there, I like him in 'Return of the Jedi' more than in 'Revenge of the Sith'. Maybe it's because I mostly grew up watching the Original Trilogy. dark_apprentice and KyleKatarn1995 like this
Darth Sion Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Not mine just have those 2 modelsWell, see if you can get permission.. And get that RoTS/RoTJ model uploaded! KyleKatarn1995 likes this
dark_apprentice Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 I don't need one, both of those Emperor models are released from their authors
KyleKatarn1995 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Posted April 24, 2016 I don't need one, both of those Emperor models are released from their authorsOh man I totally want that original 1980 Emperor Palpatine. So it would be fun to use him while fighting with other Jedis.
Jolly Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Behind the scene pictures like that are just the best haha. I always thought the original palpatine had some kind of goggles or mask on. Turns out he was just really deformed? I like this version of him a lot more. KyleKatarn1995 likes this
Darth Sion Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 I don't need one, both of those Emperor models are released from their authorsWell, who's released that version of The Emperor, then?
KyleKatarn1995 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Posted April 25, 2016 What would also be cool is to use the 1980 Emperor Palpatine model to recreate the scene where Darth Vader gets in contact with him on this map. https://jkhub.org/files/file/2302-star-wars-vaders-meditation-chamber/
dark_apprentice Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Well, who's released that version of The Emperor, then?I think it was somewhere from MB2 assets not sure, let me check on the backup files. KyleKatarn1995 likes this
KyleKatarn1995 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Posted April 25, 2016 I also believe that 1980 model of Emperor Palpatine totally looks like this.
