Why did Sheev's face get disfigured? Was it literally just "he used Force Lighting so hard it turned him spooky"? Why didn't that happen when Dooku did it? Seems like a cop-out

it showed his true form

He was dehydrated after all the fighting

But he's a human, wookiepedia says so

His face was gonna look like a prune regardless, old age and what not.

It was deflected by Mace's lightsaber and he was hit by the blowback/ricochet, Dooku never was in this situation. There is no contradiction and you have NOT found a valid nitpick.

So why didn't Luke or Anakin get disfigured when they got the full blast of it

is sheev related to this guy?

Because Mace Windu wasn't there to disfigure them.

>That Pose

Because they're Jedis not Sith.

because they didn't get nigger aids from the blowback

force lightning and darkside degredation

He was supposed to gradually turn spooky throughout the movies, probably as a result of old age mixed with effects of the dark side. That's why he looks so creepy in episode 2. This was dropped in episode 3 because Lucas was desperate to clumsily bridge the gap between the movies.

What I like is that the senate and the general population have no fucking problem with it. They're like
>So what if he looks scary and evil as fuck
>The coup attempt was stopped and order has to be restored

Are you seriously suggesting that they should've arrested him because he was too ugly?

He's ruling a senate full of non-humans who look "ugly" in the eyes of homo sapiens. To them, he might have become pretty instead.

Basically yes.

Not to mention he said the Jedi scarred his face with their coup d'etat.

Palpatine did a bunch of darkside black magic and alchemy which iirc takes a serious toll on the body. Idk how he concealed it though.

Why does sheev's face makeup look so terrific and believable in ROTJ but looks like rubbery fake bullshit in ROTS?

They used silicone or something in ROTS

It wasn't being deflected by a lightsaber.

He was using the force to youthen himself to appear more friendly and Senator like. His entire deal was he had mastered a practice of the Force that could reverse aging.

Plus Mace was deflecting a bit of that lighting directly back into his face. So actual tissue trauma and no need to keep up the charade is the correct answer.

But why?

Ask Lucas

Emperor Palpatine, I'm Prune Face

are you seriously saying we shouldn't put ugly people to death?

Because he had an old wrinkly white face in the OT and George is too dumb to think of an interesting reason for it to change
