But George Lucas
always planned to include some characters
from the original trilogy and nobody knows that better
than Ian McDiarmid. When I first met George
he said, "Hey, great nose!" But George planned
to make use of more than just Ian's nose
this time around. So when I got the script I found that I was playing a Senator
and he seemed like a straight-forward,
reasonable guy and, uh, finally people
are able to see my face. Yes and no. So, there's this other guy, Darth Sidious, and he's working
behind the scenes working against the regime and against the Queen.
Very mysterious. And I thought, "Oh, God,
that's the part, isn't it?" Wish I was playing that."
I got the first call sheet and I saw my name... or number,
uh, opposite Darth Sidious
