I SCREAMED WHEN THE EMPEROR STARTED TALKING
YOU THOUGHT THINGS WERE BAD BEFORE???? WATCH THIS!!
@vault11overseer asked me to rank all of Palpatine’s looks, which was probably at least 40% a joke. Joke’s on them, I’m doing it anyways, starting with the absolutely most wretched of them:
The classic throne room look
Yeah, I know – this is The Palpatine Look, the one that defined our mental image of withered old bastards forever in Return of the Jedi. It’s a classic. But looking at it with the nostalgia goggles off, first doesn’t always mean best. There’s nothing regal about this look, nothing that screams Emperor, just a decrepit old man in his comfy clothes.
Sure, it’s real menacing when the fabric kind of blends into the shadows, but when he’s just walking around? It looks like he’s wearing evil cotton bathrobe. Even Dooku knew that if you were going to take a nap, you’d better be doing it in black silk pajamas. Next to Palpatine’s other looks, this one’s clear that he’s not trying too hard.
Which, of course, is the point – Luke Skywalker sure didn’t expect the bathrobe man reclining in his Death Star Lay-z-boy to summon fucking lightning from his fingertips. That, and Palps just doesn’t have anyone to impress at this point. Who the fuck does he need to dress himself up for? Nobody, that’s who.
That said, this outfit has an unsung hero – the cut of that hood. The way it’s draped like that, basically putting his head inside of a triangle, is way more evil than some round hood would be. Seriously, that hood is the reason we remember this look so well.
Final Verdict: 6/10, a respectable showing in many ways, but his other outfits often take what’s good about this one and do it better.
