This is "THE" classic Palpatine line from ROTS...

It was silly and amusing, the heart of Star Wars.

 

Yes, you are correct. I think the NOOOOOOOOO and moments like the 'YEAH!' are fun to laugh about, certainly not anything that ruins the movie at all.

 

There are so many good ones!

There's the entire Opera house scene:

PALPATINE: (continuing) Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis "the wise"?

ANAKIN: No.

PALPATINE: I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life ... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.

ANAKIN: He could actually save people from death?

PALPATINE: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

ANAKIN: What happened to him?

PALPATINE: He became so powerful . . . the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. (smiles) Plagueis never saw it coming. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.

ANAKIN: Is it possible to learn this power?

PALPATINE: Not from a Jedi.

Then the great lines when they're in Palpatine's office and he reveals himself to be the Sith Lord:

PALPATINE: My mentor taught me everything about the Force . . . even the nature of the dark side.

PALPATINE: Anakin, if one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic, narrow view of the Jedi. If you wish to become a complete and wise leader, you must embrace a larger view of the Force. Be careful of the Jedi, Anakin. (pausing) They fear you. In time they will destroy you. Let me train you.

PALPATINE: Only through me can you achieve a power greater than any Jedi. Learn to know the dark side of the Force, Anakin, and you will be able to save your wife from certain death.

PALPATINE: I know what has been troubling you . . . Listen to me. Don't continue to be a pawn of the Jedi Council! Ever since I've known you, you've been searching for a life greater than that of an ordinary Jedi . . . a life of significance, of conscience.

PALPATINE: I know you would. I can feel your anger. It gives you focus, makes you stronger.

And what Sidious says after Anakin has become his apprentice:

PALPATINE: Every single Jedi, including your friend Obi-Wan Kenobi, is now an enemy of the Republic. You understand that, don't you?

PALPATINE: We must move quickly. The Jedi are relentless; if they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war without end. First, I want you to go to the Jedi Temple. We will catch them off balance. Do what must be done, Lord Vader. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy. Only then will you be strong enough with the dark side to save Padme.

And I don't know why but I really love the one line from his Senate speech, it gives me chills:

PALPATINE: The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed, but I assure you my resolve has NEVER BEEN STRONGER!

 

Palpatine's best line by far was "I am the Senate."

 

"Are you threatening me Master Jedi" is my fav, because I have waited since ROTJ to see why the Emperor is such a badass.

 

- A powerful Sith you will become!

This line shows just how much Palpatine admired Yoda



Surprised?
/LM

 

"Once more, the Sith will rule the galaxy -- and we shall have peace."

This is my favorite Palpatine/Sidious line after the revelation scene because he actually has the gall to say, in front of someone who should know better, that there will finally be peace after 13 years of war, completely caused by the very person saying that line. He pauses in just the right places and says "we shall have peace" in a quiet, faux hopeful voice. He also says that line with a slight smile and looks very much as he did in ROTJ. The makeup worked in that scene.

 

I didn't like that the first time I saw it, but on repeated viewings I've grown to love it.

 

Definitely the "we shall have... peace" part for me.

The delivery of that line was PERFECT. I get goosebumps every time I hear that line.
It's the only line in ROTS that gives me the chills.

 

Then consider your membership of FIGS revoked - chills at every single Palps/Sid line is the very least one of the faithful should feel

 

"Not from a Jedi"

 

IMHO, there are A LOT of classic lines in ROTS. Judging from this thread, many of them come from Palpatine.

If I had to pick, I would choose "Power! U-N-L-I-M-I-T-E-D POWER!" as the single most classic Palpatine line.

At a close second would be "I am the senate."

 

"Every single Jedi, Including your FRIEND ObiWan Kenobi is now an enemy of the Republic"

Just reminding Anakin what his priorities now are. " friend " , that is an understatement , just Evil!!

 

"UnlimiTED POWAHHHHHH!!!!!"

 

Another one I love..."Gooooooooood...."

Partly due to Ian's delivery and partly due to the strange audio distortion.

And how about: "I sense Lord Vader is in danger."

But really, no other Palps line can compete with: "I'm afraid...in your anger...YOU killed her."

 

"And We shall have Peace"
"Are you threatening me Master Jedi?"
"Its treason then"

"I know you would, I can feel your anger, gives you focus, makes you stronger"


My favorite lines

 

really, pretty much all the guys dialog is gold, GOLD BABY!!!

 

The best line froms Sids/palps:

ONly through me can you achieve the true power of the dark side

 

No, no, it's these:

"I can feel your an-ger. It makes you stronger, gives you focus.."

*shudders*

 

My vote goes for ".....my little green friend"

 

^ he says that so perfectly ...i love it

 

I liked all of his lines, except when Anakin says "I will do anything, you ask." and Palpatines "Gooood" just had me laughing, ahh, the look on his face!

 

No way!! THIS is the most classic Emperor line (the last one in this exchange) from ROTS:

Emperor: "Are you going to kill me?"

Anakin: "I would certainly like to!"

*** Emperor: (finally sounding like the ROTJ Emperor we all know and love) "I know you would. I can feel your ANGER. It makes you stronger, gives you focus."

wow I get chills every time I see that exchange. For me, that last line capped the transition from Palpy to Emperor. LOVE IT, Great stuff GL!!! thanks

 

Anything that comes out of Emperor Palpatine's mouth is a good line

 

And oh yeah, the line from my signature isn't too bad either!
