Emperor Palpatine Infiltrates the Volturi

EGADS! It seems Darth Sidious’ evil knows no bounds. Yes. We thought Emperor Palpatine was dead – but we all know tossing people down random tubes is a sure way to ensure their survival.

Oh, sure. The tube was in a Death Star that was blown to bits, but still – did we actually see him die? Unlike Darth Maul, who we could see go to pieces (poor lad), good ol’ Palpy we last saw screaming and catching wicked wind.

The dark lord of the Sith has joined forces with the megalomaniacal leaders in Volturi where he is passing himself off under the name of Marcus. Oh, sure, he might look bored…but what evil is lurking behind those beady red eyes?

They both have pasty white, onion-like skin. Hmm. And really, he could probably use his darkside tactics to come off more vampire than human.

Well, if nothing else, I think Lucas Film Ltd. needs to catch the marketing wave for this one. They can recycle this toy as a Marcus doll!

Marcus of the Volturi - the doll! (Does not come with Force lightning so as not to give away the "secret".)
