The Emperor in the Minifig set has black hands, but on the cart behind him, yellow hands. Perhaps LEGO shot the photo with yellow hands and later changed it to black. The set might come with two sets of hands? Kevin Knoot <kevin-knoot@uiowa.edu> (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I am usually pretty optomistic and I have liked many of the sub-par set designs that LEGO has done since '96. But 2001 is the WORST new catalog I've yet seen.
