According to the Force Friday Calendar on my desk, “We all know the The Emperor is the worst person in the STAR WARS universe.” Really? Do we all know this? I think that there’s far greater evil out there, but Ian McDiarmid did one hell of a job with his performance as Emperor Palpatine – even when he retroactively played him younger as a Chancellor and Sith Lord (Darth Sidious). McDiarmid was born on this day back in 1944, and 2015’s Black Series Emperor Palpatine figure is today’s entry into Hasbro’s Force Friday Countdown Calendar as we move toward the September 4th release of toys from J.J. Abrams’ STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS.
Keep your browser pointed toward THE ROCK FATHER as we continue the #ForceFridayCountdown en route to #ForceFriday, the day that new Hasbro toys for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS arrive at retail! 24 Days to Go!
