The powerhouse scene from Episode III that everyone remembers, beautifully played by Ian McDiarmid, who clearly relished the opportunity to start becoming Darth Sidious properly by the end of the film.
"The greatest fun of all is a big action sequence, which you probably wouldn't think as such, and that's the scene in the opera. Hayden and I sitting together... and just talking as the opera is playing. But interestingly enough, people have told me this and I was very pleased to hear it, it's as full of action in a way as any sequence involving spaceships or lightsaber fights because it's thought in action. It is a kind of saber battle but of the intellect. And the scene was a joy to do because i get to work with Hayden and we were with each other every second of the day in our eyes, which is exactly how actors really like to act."
