Having watched star wars for the first time, my only real complaint is that this guy didn't get more screen time. He's genuinely very creepy to me and feels more like an ancient evil than he does a person. Was he really just some evil guy larping as a senator originally? Or was his normal looking human form a disguise?

He's just a really evil guy. In the prequels he ahas a much larger role.

Palpatine was absolutely terrifying to me as a kid. Easily far more menacing than Vader ever was.
Angel Wood
He was just an evil guy. They do mention the Senate and the Republic during some moments of exposition but I don't know if Lucas intended the Emperor to be a former senator / chancellor

>Easily far more menacing than Vader ever was.
From a certain point of view
Lincoln Price

Nolan Peterson
Derp looking nigga
Juan Miller
Read Dark Empire comics, they're controversial but I love them for making him even scarier.
Kevin Barnes
But did he do the thing?
Luke Cook
this guy looks like my grandpa

There was some debate around the time of Revenge of the Sith that he was not a normal Naboo human, and that George introduced the changeling Clawdite character Zam Wessel in the previous movie so it wouldn't seem too out of left field when Palpatine finally drops his fake human form. The novelization implies this as well. Although the movie just make it seem like he's been disfigured by his own lightning. There's an alien Senator in the reference books for RotS that looks like the Emperor makeup.

>Or was his normal looking human form a disguise?
That's a debate that hasn't really been settled. Some sources claim the lightning in episode 3 made him look that way. Others claim this is just his true nature being revealed, because the dark side can corrupt your physical form as well.

Vader became weaker after Mustafar, so Palpatine could keep him in check. He would've probably been stronger than him without sustaining the injuries, but his ultimate role was that of an enforcer.
Jose Howard
what happened after this?
Anthony Bell
He went through a series of trials and came back stronger. But the official canon has always been that Vader has 80% of the Emperor's power output, and his suit was purposefully designed to be weak to lightning. So Palpatine made sure Vader couldn't take him out in direct combat.

Holy fuck Emperor Sheev doesn't fuck around.
Camden Torres
Ackshually Sheev foresaw the galaxy being invaded by the Yuzzhan Vong in a force premonition, and he knew the only way to save it was to create the empire.
Bentley White
I've seen Mon Mothma's titties.
Nathaniel Lewis
He's pretty much the most powerful entity in Star Wars after Vader's potential was cut short. The only other being on that level was Yoda.
Andrew Thompson
I hate Star Wars comic books so much. They are so fucking dumb.
John Martin
Sometimes they can get pretty stupid, but in this specific instance, I don't see anything that couldn't have happened between the movies.
Vader ends up doing more OP shit in the same comic.
Wyatt Thompson
He wasn't originally intended to be human, but that changed to him being a scarred human over time.
His master Plagueis was an alien though.
