The Emperor
This comparison of different Star Wars releases compares the old-look and new-look Emperors from The Empire Strikes Back. I had wondered about the eyes. Think of the Star Wars themed cocktail party conversation this knowledge will provide!
The Special Edition Emperor looks identical to the original release of the film, albeit with some minor differences in contrast. He still looks nothing like his Return of the Jedi appearance, and this is because the Emperor in this film is played by a woman! In order to give the Emperor a more unsettling appearance, chimpanzee eyes were superimposed over the eyes of the actress. The Emperor was voiced by Clive Revell.
