I like the possibility but I'm not sure if I like the pose-- I'd almost like her kneeling as she was at her death at the hands of Grievous in the cut scene from ROTS...

It looks like this isn't going to be a film accurate background-character-in-a-Halloween-costume-purchased-at-Wal-Mart version...
...but instead a sexed-up-double-lightsaber-wielding-EU-video-game-concept-art version. (Which neither surprises nor interests me.) Since I probably wouldn't buy this character anyway, then they can go ahead and make her in the most marketable pose possible--and this is probably it.
So everybody else buy one so that the PF line lives a long and healthy life, and the chances of my getting more OT characters increases over time.

Not to sound all OT/PT elistist, but this is the only look for Shaak-Ti for me. It gives her the dignity and respect a Jedi deserves.
Instead we get the "Hooters waitress / Playboy bunny" EU version. I agree if this helps SSC get some extra profit to put out an amazing PF Yoda or ROTS Obi-Wan or whatever, than so be it. Just a shame that they had to throw a decent PT Jedi under the bus to get there, since I doubt we'll be getting a version of her in the robes in another format.

I'm betting if Sideshow had made the hokey looking film version you guys would still not pick her up, whining about how boring she is (as tomandshell said, a person in a holloween mask and a robe) and how she's from the PT and essentially a background character.

One goofy looking character.

those SW fanboys who've never seen a naked woman(and there's a lot of them) will be drooling all over this version as they eagerly add it to their shelf. sideshow knows what they are doing.

You know, SSC should find a way to make both. I mean, Shaak has a full length robe in her PT look, but then maybe you could remove it to reveal her sex-bomb EU look. See? Best of both worlds and an easy Ex concept.
I'd buy it then...

I really have come to accept this fact. The truth is that pieces like Asajj and Darth Talon sell out, while the Tusken Raider sits in stock forever. As long as we can get a classic OT character in the line once a year or so, I will be patient. (Hopefully without too many duplicates.) But I have come to terms with the fact that this line is simply going in a different direction for the time being.
silly stereotypes aside, I agree this will sell more than the movie accurate version, although the latter is what I would have preferred. as it stands this will be a pass for me.

Looks like they're goin' with the sexed-up EU version, eh? Can't say I'm surprised. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally for the complete objectification of women in theory (I'm totally kiddin'), but I always felt that this character was a more cerberal one. I mean, she was on the freakin' Jedi Council.
What's next? Mon Mothma in a see-through cloak? Or how about Aunt Beru taking a blue milk bath? Just silly....

Neither of those two appealed to me, but I'd love ot get my hands on a Tusken Raider. I guess a number of us are the exception to the apparent rule.

I've seen real naked women and still like them in statue form on my shelf.

The one on the far right is my favorite picture of her.
Ordered.
