    It follows the extended universe which used to be canon before Disney bought the franchise.

    In the original canon the dark side corrupts everything it touches. The more you use the dark side the more it corrupts you physically. Most dark side users were deformed in some way (think the yellow eyes) but palpatine learned a way to hide that disfiguration from his master plagueis.

    It’s all actually explained relatively well in the extended universe.

      Basically Lucas did stupid shit, nerds who took it way more serious then him fixed it in books…then Disney threw away the books.

      I stand by what I say. They could have added that detail very easily in the prequels and would have been great cover for Palpatine.

        I know nothing about extended star wars lore but figured his appearance was from the dark side. Maybe it was covered or heavily alluded to in the movies? It’s been a while

        I agree honestly. But the same could be said about a lot of things in movies Star Wars included.
