In the original cut of The Empire Strikes Back, Emperor Palpatine was played by the actress Marjorie Eaton with chimpanzee eyes, voiced by the legendary Clive Revill. Later, for Return of the Jedi, distinguished stage actor Ian McDiarmid got the part. For the 2004 DVD release of the Original Trilogy, the original emperor as seen in The Empire Strikes Back was replaced with McDiarmid. Not only was the visual changed, but some of the dialogue was altered as well. Join with me as we discuss the differences and similarities between the two versions.
