Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi - Palpatine's Cartoon Make-Up

In just about every scene with the emperor sitting in his throne, on the Death Star, he has some weird blobby-looking, hand-drawn shadow next to his right eye. What the heck is that thing?! Are they trying to cover up some latex that's pealing off his face? I only noticed it recently on the THX version . I thought they would've fixed it for the special edition, but it's still there.

kodiak writes:: Those shadows are the product of cheap lighting effects of the 70's when the films were made. The shadows are actually from very tightly focused Spotlights shone onto the emperors face in an attempt to get his eyes to glow. Didn't work too well and know we have slugs crawling over the creep's face. Kodiak; 5 of 7 people found this comment helpful. Did you?
