2010 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 5 #25 Palpatine Plays Possum General Grievous
General Grievous storms in with lightsaber drawn as Chancellor Palpatine’s blue-robed Senate Guards stand between him and his target in “Palpatine Plays Possum,” a “New Visions” card from 2010 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 5. Artist Mark McHaley imagines the unfilmed kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine that set the stage for Revenge of the Sith, rendered in a loose, expressive painted style with fiery reds and oranges. On the back, McHaley explains that he always saw the kidnapping as a pivotal manipulation he wished had been shown on film, and this card is his own take on how it might have gone down. The back also features a detail from the painting showing Grievous’s clawed hand reaching toward a robed figure.
