Palpatine (c. 84 BBY - 11 ABY), (also known as Darth Sidious and the Emperor), is the major villain of the Star Wars universe. He is portrayed in all of the films except Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Although first mentioned in A New Hope, Palpatine did not actually make an appearance until the 1980 sequel The Empire Strikes Back, where he appeared as a holographic image. Originally, this hooded image was played by an unnamed actress with superimposed chimpanzee eyes, and was voiced by actor Clive Revill. Palpatine was played by Ian McDiarmid in all of the subsequent films, beginning with Return of the Jedi. In the 2004 DVD special edition of The Empire Strikes Back, newly shot footage of McDiarmid as Palpatine replaced the original footage.
