Was the actor who played Palpatine/the Emperor the same as the actor as the original?

Also, I still think Palpatine could have planted the thought of Padme's death in Anakin, and it came true on some self-fulfilling prophecy tip. She dies because she lost the will to live...she lost the will to live becuase of Anakins betryal.

And on the whole immaculate conception of Anakin. I don't think that would have been a plot point unless it was of some significance to the cast we know. This movie offered the only possible explination. It could have been Palpatines master who concieved him thru the midi-chlorians. All that would have happened before episode I. Palpatine could have been training in the dark side while persuing his political career. That's how most politicians do it, anyway.

I thought it was dope, I want to see it again.
