| | | | | | | | I'm positive that the Imperial Shuttle includes a fourth mini-fig to pilot. First, it couldn't be Palpatine; he is wearing the black hood piece. If you look closely at the picture, it's clear that the sides of the figs head arn't covered with (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.starwars)
