Random question- when is the next "big reveal" from Hot Toys? Toy Fair? Im itching for more Star Wars that are not trooper variants

It was Abrams and Disneys decision to kill off Han Solo at the end of the day. They didn't have to kill him off!
Han Solo even survived the original TFA script that Micheal Arndt had written so it wasn't always the plan to kill Han Solo off....
International Tokyo Toy Fair is in June, but it's just a rehash of previously released figures. The big reveals are SDCC and Toy Soul, although they didn't attend Toy Soul last month. I'm still bitter over it.

I never read the Solo twins books, but I'm a little familiar with some of it through Wookipedia. it will be interesting to see how these sequels match up in terms of familial dynamics and dramatics, which will in part be determined by Rey's parentage and whether or not Luke had a wife or lover. There were a lot of slaughtered bodies around the Knight of Ren. One of those could have easily been Luke's force sensitive wife or consort (provided he wasn't into the whole no attachments Jedi monk thing). That would even further compound his agony. For that matter they could have had a child or twins (maybe one twin was killed by KoR and the other was sent into hiding). If Rey is his daughter she could have been hidden for her own safety, but somehow mind wiped or conditioned to suppress her memories and training. Looking forward to this backstory in the next movie.
Wut?
While Vader didn't order the Death Star attack on Alderan, he stood by and allowed it to happen. So in legal terms that would make him an "accessory during the fact" and a galactic war criminal.
I think by summer EpVIII is going to be spinning up since the first trailer is expected sometime in March. So anything OT or RO related will likely be announced beforehand. I'm hoping we get announcements for Cassian, Krennic, Tarkin, Lando, Hoth Leia, Emperor and Royal guard before they move on.

Haven't any of these companies heard of expansion ? I mean a Star Wars is here to stay for the next year's at a minimum. Step up and add some more people to keep it all going like it was. Sure more people increase overheads but with many new characters also comes more income. I'm sure it's a balancing act but I hope quality and number of figures doesn't suffer like with SS.

Thats the real trick. How many people can you get that satisfy the high quality standards of HotToys? We don't want non-prototype headsculpts to start looking worse so they can come out sooner.

Killing Han could have been a deciding factor in wether he'd return to Star Wars for Ford.

Yeah, I figured the only reason Ford came back was because they finally agreed to kill him off!

He felt it gave "gravitas" to the film. And you know, it did up the stakes for TFA. If so many people complain about it, imagine if it had had a rosy happy ending.
Ford's instincts were right.

Ford, Hamill and Fisher were already signed by Lucas before he had sold Star Wars off to Disney as he was going to make the sequel trilogy himself.

I'd rather the happy ending.
Killing Han Solo off was a terrible decision!
Its going to be weird as #$%$#% seeing Chewbacca in EP8 without Han Solo around.

We had the happy ending on Ep VI. Han lived a full life.
Good people die, too. That's why the audience responded positively to RO. Wars have casualties.

Yeah but there was no emotional attachment to the Rogue One characters to care if they died or not. We barely knew them.
With Han Solo he has been around most of our lives so it hurts seeing him get killed off.
All Disney had to do was have him in it for EP8 and EP9 and if they ever did another trilogy they could do it where its meant to be 20 years into the future.

I felt some emotional attachment to everyone in Rogue One except for Baze. I actually thought killing Han was just bad writing. Hell, I think Kylo Ren is a terribly written character in general so when Han died, I was kinda just all like ah, well that just happened. Oh well. But I dunno, I wasn't a fan of Episode VII in general except for Poe.
The way Poe's character was handled didn't make total sense. Was supposed to die in the opening crash but they kept him around and just had him show back up rather than have a scene where he somehow gets off Jakku. Maybe they worried it would be too similar to watching Finn get off planet. It still felt strange since the trailers obviously made it known he'd be showing back up.

But at least they added that cool dog fight scene.
No HT Poe... No HT Cassian.
Only if they were Asian.
And yes, that IS racist.
