A Young Palpatine

While reading Darth Plagueis, I imagined a youthful Palpatine in his early days on Naboo.  So, I manipulated a promotional image of Ian McDiarmid from The Phantom Menace, de-aging the picture drastically while trying to keep the main features of Palps recognizable: his eyes and his brilliant half-smile.  I dyed his hair a bit brownish-red, shrank the ears, nose, jowls, and got rid of some wrinkles.  I also made his smile a bit wider...  I could have made him slightly younger, but that would have made him too unrecognizable.  I imagine him to be anywhere from 30 to 40 in this image.
