Bring on Jar-Jar!!!

I got my fingers crossed for Lando.

Going by the article, it seems implied that they will be doing a Leia and a Han early on. I'm curious to see if they would be in the ANH gear just like the 1:4 scale Premium Format statues of the two - I'd like to see them in Empire outfits instead, I think.

Also interesting that of all the characters they could call out by name for Heroes of the Rebellion, they mention Jar Jar.

I wager the priority pre-order for that one would be a leisurely affair.

i hope we'll see more jedi.im especially looking forward to sith

Not all that excited about this part of the 12" line. I had a figured they would continue the good guy route for a while but had hoped I was wrong.

Good, Han. Although what happened to the Sith thing? How many characters (that they'd actually make) fit under this heading? Han, Leia?

I'm sure a lot of people were hoping for the sith next, but after four jedi I'm glad we're getting a break from force based characters for a while.

han, leia, any luke pre-ROTJ, lando, padme, bail organa all come to mind.

i'm hoping bespin han solo is first, followed by bespin luke and bespin gown leia.

The only Leia figure I would even consider getting would be the Endor gear version.

This was not expected. Was this even one of the original five or so lines they gave us? I think Han would be a likely first figure. Luke would have been an obvious choice, but I don't think they will go Hasbro on us and give us 10 Lukes by 2007. I wonder if the whole "Chewie is too hard" is just a ruse. Perhaps he Han, Leia, etc. are already ready. I think we'll get a preview in the next week or so and the order the week after (before toyfair sometime).

Man, I all wanting to get a Qui Gon soon. Guess I'll grab Han and Leia instead.

Since they just released the 1/4 Han from ANH, I hope they go with ESB for the 1/6.

really? when i saw how well drusilla turned out, the first thing i thought of was bespin gown leia. done right, it would be a beautiful figure.

Obvious choices here:

Pilot Luke (he's THE hero of ANH)
Han
Leia
PORKINS
Lando
R2-D2
C3PO

I think they will shy away from Chewie

I thought it was the legacy collection or something, basically a dump catigory for the good guys that don't fit into the rest of the lines.

I'd rather have the Empire versions with Han in the blue jacket and Leia in her Hoth outfit.

Yeah, that's what I remember too. It was called Legacy of Star Wars.

I don't care which figure is next. I'm sure it will be awesome.
