Actor Ian McDiarmid, who first played the role of Emperor Palpatine in 1983's "Return of the Jedi" when he was only 37 years old (he wore extensive age makeup), and later would play the role in the prequel trilogy and would even reprise the role for the 2004 Special Edition DVD/Blu-Ray of "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980). His wonderfully evil cackle and theatricality added a Shakespearean dimension to the Star Wars universe. It's not everyday you meet the Emperor of the galaxy...
