Ian McDiarmid (August 11, 1944) is a Scottish actor. McDiarmid is best known for the character Palpatine / Darth Sidious in the Star Wars Saga. Ian McDiarmid appears as the evil (puppeteer and manipulator) Palpatine / Darth Sidious in all episodes of the Star Wars Saga except Episode IV: A New Hope. Originally, McDiarmid was also absent from Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (Palpatine was played by Clive Revill). But director George Lucas only wanted McDiarmid for the role of the Sith Master, so during the shooting of Episode III that one scene was also shot for Episode V.

Ian McDiarmid (11 augustus 1944) is een Schots acteur. McDiarmid is vooral bekend van het karakter Palpatine/Darth Sidious in de Star Wars Saga.
Ian McDiarmid verschijnt als de kwaadaardige (poppenspeler en manipulator) Palpatine/Darth Sidious in alle episodes van de Star Wars Saga, behalve in Episode IV: A New Hope. Oorspronkelijk was McDiarmid ook afwezig in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (Palpatine werd gespeeld door Clive Revill). Maar regisseur George Lucas wilde alleen McDiarmid hebben voor de rol van de Sith Meester en dus werd er tijdens de opnames van Episode III ook nog die ene scéne opgenomen voor Episode V.
