(...) On the other hand, Emperor Palpatine, who was more gray than Lord Vader, is yellow in the Lego incarnation. I bet the gray Vader head was just a way of making him more special even without the mask. (...) Darth Maul had horns on his head... (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I'm not sure I follow you on this point. Not that I disagree, I just can't tell what you're saying. :D (...) It's funny, I was just thinking that myself the other day. (...) I bet they'd get it all over the place for making it yellow. I bet (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) of (...) Depends on whether you key on hue or value. Hue (color) is abstract for Lego - no one is bright yellow, so why can't that be a neutral color for everyone?

(...) Amen to that! (...) Seeing as the old Anakin Skywalker (beneath the Darth Vader mask) was a gray minifig head, I can see the logic in that. (...) I bet they'll be dark. IMHO, the triangle-split-moustache head looks like Lando already but a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Yeah, I'm aware of that set- in fact, I just referred someone else to it and 215 Red Indians. What I meant wasn't so much that Lego doesn't have the colors available. I meant that as soon as they place one darker toned minifig in, say, a Town (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I may be wrong (please correct me if I am), I haven't seen Empire Strikes Back in a long time, but isn't Dak the gunner of Luke's snowspeeder black? If he was black he didn't get any special treatment on lego's version. Michael (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
