2005 Japanese Original Trilogy Collection Holiday Edition Darth Vader

Brian — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 04:57:16 +0000

Description: It is a festive time for the Empire. After a rough year of crushing Rebel uprisings, terrorizing the Outer Rim, and choking incompetent underlings, Darth Vader decides that even a Dark Lord of the Sith needs to give in to the fun side of the Force.

Donning his most celebratory red armor, he leads his Imperial forces to the ice planet of Hoth for some much-deserved holiday festivities. Vader uses his lightsaber and mastery of the Force to create the most detailed ice sculptures in the Galactic Empire, from TIE fighters to star Destroyers. He even gives new meaning to “snowtroopers” by creating an army of troopers from snow.

Thanks to Vader’s expert planning, this year’s Hoth Holiday Bash is primed to be the best the galaxy has ever known.
