Star Wars - Part 10

[Hunter Rider]

^^

I was looking at the Q&A over at Sideshow and saw this.

Q.I love the Star Wars Premium Format Figures, and have almost all of them! I am wondering if in 2013 we can get a Snowtrooper, Lando, Chewbacca, or the droids we have been looking for?

A. Man, you’re right on track with us here. Three of the four you listed are on tap for reveals within 2012 – be sure to stay tuned for our “May the Fourth” celebration next week! We love delivering good news

Now I'm guessing Chewie wont be one of them, so if a Snowtrooper gets the PF treatment I hope they use this pose as opposed to a standard one.

Looks like we are going to get a new race entering the war as well as more Sith brothers and Mando's!

Man, i know that's the whole point, but season 5 sure looks to be darker than the previous ones. Cant wait!

You have taught him well

My Rancor vs Luke dio came today, really impressive piece, essentially a bust diorama. It's a good size but thankfully not overly wide at the base, The Rancor sculpt is fantastic and I'm really impressed with the Luke sculpt given he's quite small, the facial likness is very good and the pose is dynamic, really good capture of the scene.

I also picked up this mini bust to display with it for a very reasonable price.

Hopefully a HD version gets online soon. I notice Hondo is back and my guy Embo is seeing more action, even taking on Oppress!

I'm curious as to who the green and white clone is that Obi Wan saves.



I'm also curious who the person seeminly shooting and snowboarding after Anakin is at the 1:32 mark. Some think that's Boba at 1:48.

[Doctor Jones]

Is that a young Han Solo at 1:51?

*crosses fingers*

At first i thought it was Cody, but then i looked at it again and nope, seems like some kind of clone pilot?

We definitely need a high res version of that... Han!? i dont think they would go there.... would they?

Quick question Hunter. Obviously you have a sizable collection. But once you display them, will you have the room with all the leftover boxes or will you discard them?

Why not though? Han would be 12 or 13 when the CW is going on. Knowing him, he would be involved somehow.

[Bim]

I dont know how i would feel about a Han cameo in the CW... i guess it would depend on how they handled it. If done right could be cool, but if they get it wrong it would be another thing fans would complain about until the end of time

[Doctor Jones]

Especially since it's Han yeah, but I think they can fit him in the CW story somehow. We gotta see Correlia eventually.

[Hunter Rider]

Thinking about the new Mythos line from Sideshow I'd love to see one of these two concepts done for Luke.

Could be, I guess he may just be a clone in a battle but I don't recall one with those colour markings, it'd be interesting to see a new Clone character introduced.

I am pretty sure that is Lux at 1:51. Interestingly there is no Ventress in the trailer that I can see.

All my pieces are on display and the boxes thrown out, I'm not likely to be selling so they just took up too much room.

Btw I noticed the below bust, surely that will make it even harder for GG to sell that new Clone Trooper statue, I can't see people shelling out $225 for added legs and couple of different arm display options.

I was looking at a lot of the plot details for The Old Republic. Man, did they screw over fans of the first two KOTOR games big time.

Doesn't give much away.

I mean if you just want a clone trooper statue, why not? Or do you mean if you wanted more than one?

The suit Luke is wearing there looks like the ones from Prometheus except a bit more plated. Rather I should say the Prometheus suits look like the one Luke is wearing.

Awesome costume right there.

[Erzengel]

Think it's based on this.

[craigdbfan]

Slight variations here and there but it does seem like it is. Nice catch.

[Hunter Rider]

Since there'll be a new icy plant in season 5 I hope it's time for Ahsoka to get her vintage Star Wars winter attire.

I was just meaning that if you want a basic clone trooper with switch out heads and arms you might as well get the much cheaper bust as bar the legs they are very similar pieces.

I love how the shoulder emblems on the armour are the same as those on the armour Obi Wan and Anakin wore in the Clone Wars.

Just scored this in the Gentle Giant sale.

I swear TOR was designed to be as offensive to the original fans as possible.

I remember I once said that I'd buy an Xbox 360 in time for KOTOR3. Gutted it never came to pass.

Well, it was a combination of the Revan novel and The Old Republic that pisses me off.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

The Exile from KOTOR II was killed by getting stabbed in the back, and they pretty much lessened Revan's coolness even further by making him a desperate genocidal jedi.

Obsidian did a much better job handling Revan's story (and he wasn't even in the game) in KOTOR II than Bioware did in the novel and the game.

Lucasarts just continues to frustrate me. I remember back around 2004, 2005 they were amazing. They released KOTOR, Jedi Academy, Battlefront I and II, and Republic Commando. I loved those games. Now, I don't really care for any Star Wars games (Lego Star Wars was alright, though).

They cancelled KOTOR III, and Battlefront III in order to put those terrible Force Unleashed games at the focus, and then on top of that they piss me off even more by making The Old Republic, and I hate MMOs. Still, I could forgive all of that if they gave Revan a good ending, but no, they give him shotty characterization. He may or may not have died, but at this point I just don't care.

F**k you Lucasarts.

Okay, rant over. I'm breathing again.
