CLONE TROOPER
The Clone Trooper born and bred to protect and serve the Jedi and Galactic Republic are superior warriors in comparison to the Separatist Droid Armies. Once Palpatine issues Order 66 the Clone Troopers turn on their Jedi masters and systematically hunt them down all over the galaxy. The Clone Troopers are now loyal members of the army of the Galactic Empire, serving the newly self-appointed Emperor Palpatine without question.

This Clone Trooper is of the Fighting 501st or known as Vader’s Fist. They are the group of Clone Troopers led by Darth Vader that took out the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

       
       
   

IG-88
IG-88 is a merciless bounty hunter whose aggressive nature is predicated on a tragic-programming flaw. IG-88 is one of five assassin droids who learn to take matters into their own hands. IG-88 joins his fellow bounty hunter brethren aboard Darth Vader’s Imperial Super Star Destroyer and receives orders to capture the crew of the Millennium Falcon alive and unharmed.

IG-88 make a bold move by following Boba Fett to Cloud City but Boba Fett stuns IG-88 with an ion cannon before he has a chance to reach the Millennium Falcons’s crew.

       
       
   

Titanium Darth Vader
Target Fall Exclusive 2006
This exclusive version of the Titanium Darth Vader is the same as the regular edition except that this Darth Vader has some red highlights. The pose is exactly the same as the previous version along with the removable helmet. The head of Anakin Skywalker is not painted but solid black. The base is also repainted a differently. The only major difference besides the red highlights is the packaging states that this titanium figure is a Target exclusive.

       
       
     

Titanium C-3PO
Though the first few years of his existence on Tatooine were spent naked and eventually plated by cobbled up protocol droid pieces by Owen Lars, C-3PO was finally given the dignity due his position during his service to Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo. On Coruscant, his mismatched plating was upgraded to a shining gold appropriate to a Senator's servant. If only figured that, given his luck, he would shortly be involved in several battles culminating in the invasion of Coruscant. It's remarkable that C-3PO's plating remained undamaged throughout, despite being shot at several times. With the passing of Senator Padme Amidala and Anakin Skywalker (who now has turned to Darth Vader) ownership of C-3PO passed to the royal house of Alderaan. C-3PO was entrusted with the care of Princess Leia Organa.
