Collector and Investor Standing
Emperor Palpatine is the Sith Lord who schemed his way from senator to ruler of the galaxy, and this version shows him hooded with a pale light bluish gray face and black hands. The ghostly gray head is an older look that later Emperors moved away from, and the Emperor in this form is a favourite with fans of the original trilogy sets.
