Palpatine always did look like the human version of a Shar-pei; he was just using his dark force powers as a form of plastic surgery. And when he rained down force lightning on Mace Windu, the face lift went out the window, too.

After that, it was a political advantage to look hideous. "See what those Jedi did to me? See what they'll do to you?"

I'm just surpised he didn't accuse them of hiding weapons of mass destruction on Arrakis or something like that... You know how those Fremen are...
