Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While the set was widely available, this specific version with the gold hilt and Rebels-style printing was only produced in one set which has since been retired.
Head
Tan head with Dark Tan sith eyes, wrinkled skin, and a grimacing mouth. Dual-sided printing featuring an angry/aggressive expression and a sinister grin.
Torso
Black torso with Sith robes/tunic printing in Dark Bluish Gray and Light Bluish Gray. Fine line detailing representing the character's appearance in the Star Wars Rebels animated style.
Legs
Black legs with continuous robe printing on the front extending from the torso. Standard adult legs.
Accessories
Includes a black hood piece (standard mold) and a unique lightsaber with a Pearl Gold hilt and a Trans-Red blade.
Color Scheme
Primarily Black with Tan skin. Accents of Light/Dark Bluish Gray for robe details and Pearl Gold for the weapon hilt.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head (dual-sided) and torso (front and back). Leg printing is front-side only, aligned to match the bottom part of the robe.
Variants
This is the 'Rebels' design. Other variants include the classic 1999 version (sw0066), the 2005 grey-headed version (sw0154), and the updated 2014 sponge-cape versions (sw0540).
Condition Notes
Prone to cape fraying (if a cape is present, though not shown in image). Check the Pearl Gold hilt for tooth marks or chrome wear. The black torso can show surface scratches easily.

Character Background
Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith and mastermind behind the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire.
Design Notes
Features the stylized 'Rebels' aesthetic, characterized by thinner, more geometric lines compared to the realistic movie-based minifigures.
Similar Minifigures
sw1163 Darth Sidious (Sponge Cape), sw0435 Palpatine (Sith Robes), sw0154 Darth Sidious (Pale Grey Head).
Collectibility
High. Especially sought after due to the unique Pearl Gold lightsaber hilt, which is rarely paired with Sidious in other sets.
History
Represents a transition in LEGO Star Wars design where animated series received specific, stylized character prints to differentiate from movie sets.
Interesting Facts
Despite appearing in a set based on the Genndy Tartakovsky-inspired Clone Wars 'Azure Angel' starfighter, the figure is officially labeled as a Rebels version in many databases.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the 75087 Starfighter or alongside other Sith lords like Darth Vader or Darth Maul in a dedicated 'Sith' display case.
Modification Potential
The head and gold hilt are highly desirable for MOC (My Own Creations) builders creating Throne Room or Senate scenes.
Overall Assessment
A standout variant of the character. The combination of the 'Rebels' facial print and the gold hilt makes it one of the most visually distinct versions of the Emperor ever produced.
