However, the Darth Sidious book has been set aside for a while and Plagueis is a part of it. Gha was an included Rare to further the Clone Wars animated series. It was by all accounts that he was "suggested" by Lucas to be included. Granted, who knows with Plagueis. He's one of those points of contention. If we get him in this set and he isn't OMG! AWESOME!!!!, then we will hear complaints. If we get him and he's OMG! AWESOME SAUCE!!!, then you will hear a decry that wasn't Plagueis. His air of mystery alone rivals the Segway, then we see what it was... :) Go fig. We know that the people at Wizards got to preview a couple episodes of Clone Wars to make some figures. By the fact that we only had a couple figures from the new series (Ashoka, Rex, IG-86, Anakin on STAAP, Odd Ball) could all be taken from two episodes. Odd Ball was in Revenge of the Sith too... but he had on a diffrent Pilot armor. So I think that is why we got Gha.

Well, since the mini's team designs things a year or more in advance, it's quite possible they had the Darth Plagueis mini on the list for this set. The book got canceled at some point after the mini was designed, but Rob and Co. got permission to leave him in the set. Certainly a possibility. I can't think of whoever else it would be.

Their is white or silver stuff on his mouth indicating a beard or even some sort of mask. the one cannon pic of him has nothing on his mouth.

Proof? he is the only Muun that is unique I dont think there will be a differant muun that is a VR, it has to be him, it looks like him, has the same clothes and I dont know what that staff thing is but it is still probably him.

It appears copyright laws finally caught up with the "previewed" pictures...

It was a fun ride while it lasted. While I understand their desire to control the release of info on their property, what harm is there in the mass disscussions produced by the pictures? Speaking only for myself of course, I am more excited and inclined to buy a case now than pre-release. But, again, I can understand wizards pulling the pictures.

OH well I can always look at them(printed them off, HE HE), it looks to be a really good set,
the thing I dont understand about them pulling the pics off is that, now that Ive seen it, it makes me want to buy a case now, if people dont know what they are getting, than why would they buy it.

I'm sure alot of people saved the pics anyway... still funny though... As fas as Darth Plagueis goes... I agree w/Awesome. It has to be him. I wouldn't worry too much about the silvery stuff on his face. Wizards has proven time and again that paint jobs aren't exact. Both Jaina's have blue lightsabers when they should be violet. Corran Horn should have a silver lightsaber. Little mistakes here and there that they can't seem to police... that's probably the case w/Plagueis the Silverlipped...

But it does look like Darth Plagueis images I've seen on wookiepedia.

I don't recall Pors Tonith wearing Sith-like robes though...
& his teeth were stained black (not silver) from the tea he drank...

I haven't poked around the forums in a couple days, so I missed all the fun. Now I get to be "that guy" and ask - does anyone still have the pics?

Awh, dang. I didn't save the pictures  What I don't understand is why Wizards would pull the pictures now? They've already been leaked, tons of people have already saved/copied/printed the pics, and the damage is done.

Also, Yoda looks like the COTF version. I'm wondering if that one green droid is a Yuuzhan Vong Hunter droid... I belive that the droid is a Krath War Droid. COOOOOL!

I also admit I was wrong about it being Darth Plagueis. I wonder if all of his Force Powers will be ???? :)
