because he asheeved a lot

only non-stoic character in the prequel trilogy
and no, some whimsical cgi abomination doesn't count

BAD!

Because he's cheesy, but actually a good actor at the same time. The correct amount that works. I'm pretty sure he does Shakespeare plays outside of Star Wars, which is often theatrically comedic, as well as being played straight.

>tfw we will never see prime clone sheev

He's the only prequel character with goals he's actively trying to achieve. He's proactive, not reactive.

He realized what kind of movie he was in, and really went ham. Sheev's great.

UH SIFF LAWD?

He has a goal and he seems to ENJOY achieving them. Something no one else in the series seems capable of.

Any recommendations for McDiarmid kino?

He's not. Sup Forums is just filled with a wave of posters whose childhoods were defined by the Star Wars prequels so they pretend that they were good.

he's the only character who's having any kind of fun. his fight with yoda is one of the best scenes because he's beside himself with laughter and falling over like a buffoon

Hey guys I watched the Mr Plinkett reviews too! :)

WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR FAAACEEE XD

He just has so much meme potential, and it reached a new level when they decided his name was Sheev

Utopia

he played porfiry in a bbc production of crime and punishment that was quite good

We barely knew anything about Sheev in the original trilogy, only that he was supposed to be this powerful bad guy pulling the strings. Conversely, any other character who showed up in the prequels which we knew from before the OT ended up looking bored and stupid.

He shouldn't even have been given a name. He should only have been known as the Emperor. It's funny in a way that somehow there is an evil space wizard in charge of the Empire, and in hindsight it would have been better for us not to know how he came to power.

most things are usually better left to the imagination, but people want more lore and worldbuilding, while the makers see dollar signs
we can no longer have "once upon a time"s or "happily ever after"s
the truth is the original trilogy didn't need prequels or sequels

okay, he did manage to look stupid in the prequels as well, but as much of a moustache twirling villain as he was, he was a lot better than any of the other characters. Or at the very least wasn't a bad they just discarded after two or three scenes in one film.

Darth Maul had a cool introduction and seemed quite threatening in the couple scenes he showed up, but then he just gets cut in half and forgotten forever, even though he had survived the fall.
It is partially better that way though, simply because of the name they gave to his brother.

Dooku could have been a lot more threatening if they had saved his defeat for later in the third film, making Anakin actually have to struggle until he finally manages to kill him.

Grievous could have also been cool but showing up exactly where his lightsabers were when he first captured Obi-Wan and Anakin cemented him as stupid, I saw RotS in cinemas when I was 14 and even then thought that was silly.

I'd have been perfectly happy with a sequel that had nothing to do with the initial story, introduce new characters, maybe even a new empire, something different, but of course they had to basically go and make the same only with a bigger death star.

The jedis are so unlikable and arrogant that you root for him.

More than just unlikeable the whole deal about having turn into an emotionless being is what makes the Jedi plainly unappealing.

I've never cared for Hillary myself.

because the actor is fantastic and actually seems to care about anything
everyone else is a fucking robot

Obi-Wan is great for the same reason

They need to hurry and make a Sheev solo film before the actor kicks the bucket.

His enthusiasm is infectious

Fuck off, Sup Forums, and take your greasy fedora with you.

Obi-Wan sucked majorly in TPM though, it is clear that George doesn't know how to write charming background characters.

I AM THE SENATE!

>tfw no Sheev father figure to guide you through your career and life

>r.
This, especially once you realise Jedi are taken from such a young age. I really dislike the no love thing

he has a good sense of tragic irony and humor. he's the evil overlord whose not afraid to delay his plans for the sake of evil poetic justice... or to smile

...

because he is the only charaxter in tge trylogy that has emtions

It's because George is a Chaos worshiping occultist, so his good guys are bad and his bad guys are good

Ever since I was a sith I've been poppin my collar.

>don't be alarmed if your undies turn into a moist towlette

But he was fun. Every other character except Obi Wan spent the entire trilogy confused and lying to themselves. It was a main point of the trilogy, even, that Sheev was the only one doing anything meaningful and he was just stringing everyone else along.

Where does the name Sheev even come from? I don't remember hearing it in the movies.

The author of the Tarkin novel wanted to show that Tarkin was on a first name basis with the Emperor, and when he asked Lucas what that name was he said 'Sheev' so he put it in the book.

>Darth Icky
>Darth Insanious

She really needs to perfect the art of smiling with her mouth closed. That gif is legitimately frightening.

>implying Darth Icly and Darth Insanious wouldn't have been the best characters

Darth Insanious was fine and he was just trolling them with Icky

go to bed George.

He hammed it up but is also a good actor. He enjoyed the shlock. Same thing happened, at least to me, in Jupiter Ascending. Pretty terrible movie but I laughed pretty hard at Eddie Redmayne's performance. He was chewing the curtains. Great stuff when actors just give their all in a shite role.

Rogue One was the PERFECT opportunity for a long kino scene between Palpatine and Vader. It if didn't happen then it'll probably never happen.

Is it just me, or is there something comfy about the PT? Watching it has become one of my winter rituals at this point.

I'd fuck George's daughter

This, I watch Empire Strikes Back when it gets really cold.

Master jedi, I'm senate

Why was he more memorable in Episode 3 then literally anything in TFA? I thought the prequels were supposed to be all bad. Was it just a meme?

>ywn destroy the jedi scum with based Sheev

I'd be loyal to him even if I knew I was being manipulated.

Anyone pretending Star Wars is some masterpiece to be applauded throughout all time is legitimately retarded because they're just popcorn sci-fi flicks with mythological tones since George just wanted his own Flash Gordon serials. TFA is a byproduct of the people thinking Star Wars should be some super serious Shakespearean tragedy that doesn't even rhyme. They're meant to be dumb as fuck not super serious like TFA was

>>tfw we will never see prime clone sheev
Robot Chickent did this and it turned out surprisingly well.They captured his wacky character.

What's Shakespearean about TFA lol? It's still just a pulp fairy tale in space.

Did you not see the bit about rhyming? It's poetry and I'm not serious I just post that kinda of shit in Star Wars threads to piss that one tard off.

That movie made me think Redmayne would be great if Disney does an Adventures of Young Sheev movie

Sheev's Feed and Seed

>sneedposters

So if Sheev had the plans for the Death Star since AoTC and RoTS was Galen the one that drew them up? Was Sheev an architect and Galen the foreman/head engineer? Did Sheev not have multiple construction workers and foreman question why that exhaust port was built with that critical flaw? Am I the only one that liked Rogue One? Are you threatening me master jedi?

>ywn destroy (((trade federation))) and (((banking clans))) under Sheev's orders

He's the only guy hamming it up like it's a cartoon, and that's a breath of fresh ass in those bland as fuck movies.

Michael Sheen in the Twilight series is a similar thing.

underrated

Why live?

dude relax just turn off your brain lmao xD

Y'all so edgy I understand but in reality the Empire was evil

Ewan McGregor was great too and I think Hayden was underrated because he's meant to be an autist in AoTC then Anakin grows through TCW to become what he was in RoTS.

kek

sure, whatever, but they had the brunt of the shit writing, palpatine's shit was flawless in all aspects

>in reality

Yep

Execute order 420.

...

Only one of four returning actors from the original trilogy too, and the only one that wasn't phoning it in.

Is Sup Forums where all the prequelfags are coming from?
