Editorial Review:
A scheming, cold and calculating Sith Lord, Emperor Palpatine rises to power and all but eliminates the Jedi Knights. His pupil, Darth Vader, communicates with his master via holographic image transmissions. Together, they strive to crush anyone who stands in the way of their new Galactic Empire.
Adults might be more likely than children to have an appreciation of the Emperor Palpatine character from the Star Wars series of movies. After all, adults have probably voted for a politician or two that proved later not to be entirely on the up and up. Palpatine, of course, takes that concept a tad bit further than most since rarely do traditional earthbound Republicans or Democrats seek to eliminate the entire class of Jedi warriors and subsequently rule the universe, cloaked in evil, with an iron fist. When Darth Vader is your advisor, that's corruption in its purest form. This purplish action figure of Palpatine in his Emperor status is purported to be holographic, and while we had a hard time really seeing that, the spooky hue sets him apart from other figures. He can be made to hold either an included staff or light saber. Just don't vote for him when he's up for re-election. --Charlie Williams

One color plastic waste of money: 
This is such a silly idea. There is nothing holographic about this chunk of plastic with no paint and no details and no excitement. I literally laughed when we opened it.
For the collector.:
An unexciting piece. Of value only to the completist collector (like myself). There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that there's nothing "great" about it either. The lauching projectiles are unnecessary for a "holographic" figure. Hasbro could has done better by choosing another "host" sculpt to base this exclusive off of. The "Phantom Menace" version was much better!
Very disappointed: 
This little figure is really a piece of junk. Poor detail and poor packaging. Next springs garage sale item for sure.
Good figure, poor packaging for shipping:
I received this along with another item, this item arrived nearly completely damaged as the figure was just put in the box along with the other item. The back of the card was nearly folded in half. Very bad packaging and poor shipping. The figure is a good figure but it arrived in such poor shape that it really didn't make it worth it for me to order this online when I was able to go to Toys R Us and get one in good shape the same night I got this from amazon. Very poor packaging, not secure at all.
