  Why we won't see the Emperor...
 
Ok. I can almost guarantee we won't see a set in 2001 with Emperor Palpatine in it. As I was getting ready for work this morning, I happened to be looking at the box for the "darth" minifig pack. On the top of the card (the bit that would let it (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Dats Okey Day wid mesa. As long as we get STORMTROOPERS!!!! Eric Kingsley The New England LEGO Users Group (URL) My Creations at: (URL) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: Why we won't see the Emperor...
 
(...) Preferably in one of these new three packs, a la the battle droids, but with no officer. Or, with one "officer" with a Tatooine-Stortrooper shoulderpad, made as minifig neckgear and removable (a la epaulets). eric (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) OK now your gonna make me cry... Oh what I would give for that 3 pack! Eric Kingsley The New England LEGO Users Group (URL) My Creations at: (URL) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: Why we won't see the Emperor...
 
(...) You and me both, man. If Stormtroopers were only available in these (ie, not in sets) I could easily see myself buying 10-15 *immediately*. eric (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I would actually be all for stormtroopers and an Imperial officer. Matt (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Who here would not order at LEAST 10 of that (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: Why we won't see the Emperor...
 
(...) Not me. I don't need 10 At-At Drivers, or 10 AT-ST Drivers, or 10 officers. I do want lots and lots of Stormtroopers, though. eric (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) As much as it would rock, it seems like they're only in three's *sigh* I finally ordered my Emperor yesterday. That fig would have rocked with a white or grey head. -Tom McD. (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

  Re: Why we won't see the Emperor...
 
(...) hehehe... now that we're dreaming, how about a SW minifig bucket? It would come with one each of the unique minifigs (Luke, Han, Chewie, Leia, Obi-Wan (old and young), Panaka, C-3PO (old and new,) Anakin, Padme, Palpatine, the Darths, etc.) (...)

  Re: Why we won't see the Emperor...
 
(...) Now *this* is an amazingly cool idea! Even taken out of the context of the bucket, it would be cool if they made a set that had Han and all his various clothes and accessories, etc. eric (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) ANOTHER IDEA FOLLOWING: How's about a "Run LEGO For A Day" contest!?

  Re: Why we won't see the Emperor...
 
(...) Looking at the scout trooper torso, it seems close enough to a stormtrooper chestplate. So all we really need is the stormtrooper helmet.

I disagree, the Darth Maul or Vader are not unique to that set. Does it refer to the Emperor as the unique minifig? Adam (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
