Angry Birds Star Wars II: The Making of Join the Pork Side

Go behind-the-scenes of Angry Birds Star Wars II's "Join the Pork Side" trailer with Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine from the Star Wars saga) and Rovio.

Ian McDiarmid is probably the only person ever to make a green animated pig sound menacing

The Pork Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

I love the Emperor laugh! It so evil and perfect sounding.

[deadaccount]

Funny how Rovio manage to get Ian McDiarmid to voice Emperor Palpatine in Angry Birds Star Wars while EA can't do that for Battlefront II lol

[FriendlyRivals]

I love how evil his laugh is 1:39. One of the best villain laughs ever!

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Pork Plegius the Green...

This man is just an amazingly good actor. Obviously he's being paid, but he truly enjoys reveling as Palpatine. And the fact he's naturally so soft spoken makes it better.

[prestonfernandes]

Wow you can actually see how happy the people at Rovio was to be working with Ian

[morbius]

No other man could properly give voice to so sinister, so evil a man as the epically awesome Emperor Palpatine.  His words alone carry the immense weight of wicked schemes and the purest of evil so perfectly.  Ian McDiarmid IS the Emperor ^_^

[Lucifer]

So Angry Birds gets Ian McDiarmid and Battlefront 2 gets... Um...

[SSaNNEE]

The fact that the Emperor himself has been visting Finland makes me so happy!

[garymiller]

Ian nails those lines every time! Great man!

[realgamers]

So they don't get him for Battlefront but they get him for angry birds. Okay

[Bigrd]

1:07 "The Dark Side is a pathway to many abilities some would consider to be....unnatural"

[castielffboi]

When you get Ian McDiarmid for Angry Birds II but not for The Clone Wars

[jamesreed]

It just goes to show you that Ian McDiarmid is the one true Emperor.

I love Ian McDiarmid ! Such a cool bloke and a great actor, the best actor of the prequals :)

[keeganrocha]

Ian McDiarmid is really awesome....He is the GOAT among villains.😎😎😍😍😍

I'd love to be able to see him re-enact a Robot Chicken Star Wars scene. Especially the part where he finds out that his face looks like "a shaved bear's scrotum!" LMAO! :D
