I suspect Lucas just changed his mind on this, and when AotC was made his idea was that Palpatine was gradually aging into the form seen in Return of the Jedi. | |
| Aug 19, 2015 at 5:24 | comment | added | Hypnosifl | Some quotes from Ian McDiarmid that suggest that something like this was indeed Lucas' intention can be found on this page, note in particular the comment "The Emperor that you see in the last film looks the way he does because he's very old and very evil-it is what he always looked like. He just had this carapace of looking like a fairly ordinary looking guy", and also the part about how Lucas was at first undecided about whether Palpatine would "go back forth with his appearance" after his old & evil face was first revealed. | |

| Nov 7, 2011 at 17:15 | comment | added | Reid | This is probably the best explanation, especially given Sidious's quote in Episode III after this event: "I shall miss the face of Palpatine, I think; but for our purpose, the face of Sidious will serve." It very clearly delineates the two separate appearances, in my opinion. Whether or not it's "Sith Alchemy" is incredibly debatable, but the concept seems to be very in-line with the quotations. | |
