I wondered when that quote was from. When he said that, with what informaiton he had on hand would point to where in the time line of his gig that Ian was playing Sheev. I just wanted to make sure that above what he said wasn't a quote from 1984.
So yup, Ian is repeating some wax George said before 1999 and connecting it to the events of Episode III.
He also refers to the production of III:
"I don't think George had made up his mind when we started shooting whether to continually show Lord Sidious as he really is after his initial transformation or if Sidious would go back and forth with his appearance. I (believe) when George finally saw Dave's wonderful makeup he decided that constantly changing Palpatine's appearance would be a step backward. So the moment in the film where I make the transformation is the way I appear until the end."
There is also John Knoll saying on the DVD that Palpatine's change is due to his exertion ( as opposed to lightning damage ).

Did anyone know about Force ghosts?
"If you strike me down now, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
Obiwan can't have been the first?

How did Vader become force ghost ? If all force users become force ghosts, will all those jedi murdered by Vader would be waiting for him and that includes the jedi children he slaughtered in ROTS. What about the Sith ? Is Palpatine still hanging around with Dooku haunting people.

I figure that when Vader was truly bored after killing the majority of the Jedi, he would have time to himself, in his private chamber. While Sith are probably not suppose to quiet their minds, I get the feeling that somedays Vader would need to take his helmet off and relax as much as he can. During those times? Qui-Gon could probably talk to him. While Vader would probably reject him, or Qui-Gon might be put off by what Vader did, the anger it would cause would help fuel the Dark Side. But Qui-Gon is probably one of those people that Anakin (deep inside Vader) would listen to from time to time. That is exactly who he'd need to train him. Assuming Anakin didn't figure it out himself...being the Chosen One and all that.
LOL . Maybe it is a form of Purgatory for Anakin.
Through the assistance of Obi-Wan and/or Yoda, according to a few pre-Disney textual sources and the ROTJ DVD commentary.
Actually, becoming "one with the Force" involves losing your individual consciousness and becoming absorbed into the totality of "The Force." That's what happens when Jedi who have not learned how to preserve their individuality after death.
In the old EU, there were users of the dark side of "The Force" who maintained their consciousness after death. I wonder what the current stance is on that possibility.

It seems that in the new canon those who follow the dark side can't preserve their consciousness after death. Yoda encountered what appeared to be the spirit of Darth Bane on Moraband but it wasn't truly Darth Bane's conscious self, just a shadowy vestige. The whole point behind Anakin and Palpatine's study of the dark side was to preserve either their own life or the life of someone they cared about and didn't want to lose, but the only true immortality turns out to be the one discovered by Qui-Gon, which requires total rejection of the dark side.
With the exception of Qui-Gon, the unfallen Jedi killed during the PT didn't ghost, and there is presumably a reason for that.
