Star Wars: What Emperor Palpatine Looks Like Without His Robes
By WITNEY SEIBOLD
When "Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi," fans saw the character of Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) in person for the first time, he wore dark robes.
Palpatine's cloak was mysterious, serving to obscure the frail body and the face of the twisted warlock lord.
According to a 1998 issue of Star Wars Insider Magazine, however comfy those big black robes looked, McDiarmid was even more comfy underneath as he was wearing a t-shirt.
"I think I was wearing [...] black trousers and a T-shirt. It was very cool, because the cloak itself was quite warm, so I was grateful about that." said McDiarmid.
