I would buy any and all Inquisitors in a heartbeat even though they’re unlikely to be made. Really like how they’ve been developed in the new canon even though they were a bit awkward in the show.

I like Sung Kang but I think he should’ve been a new Inquisitor instead of being forced to growl every line in an odd imitation of Fifth Brother. He just isn’t anything like the Rebels version.

I wish Fourth Sister had more screen time because she had the best design of the Inquisitors on the show.

I grew to really like Rupert Friend’s Grand Inquisitor. His delivery of “hello” and his attitude during that monologue is now one of my favorite new Star Wars moments. He should get his own show.

Reva’s arc was ultimately fine. I never hated her but her character development was very uneven. She may not be the best written character but she doesn’t deserve the vitriol thrown at her either.

Only thing I was truly disappointed in were the Purge Troopers. They were nothing compared to their JFO predecessors. The only thing they purged was themselves.
 
I am imaging what GI would look like in a SDCC display. Hot Toys would nail that paintwork and eyes.

I think the GI has a good chance. It would be nice if HT decide to dive deeper into this show beyond Vader, Kenobi and Purge Trooper since most of the characters are not helmeted. Hasbro is definitely all in on this.
 
I just want Bail Organa. The show wasn’t for me so I won’t get anything, unless we finally get bail. It won’t happen and is a pipe dream.
 
I'm sure they took inspiration from this ILM Fan Art competition for the Obi-Wan rock scene.

It's immediately what I thought when I saw it.

I think if they were to do just a single Obi-Wan figure it would be the one from the Leia rescue up to the final duel. It would potentially offer a good range of accessories as he carried a blaster as well as a Lightsaber along side the cloak.

I know people are hoping for the blue outfit from the first couple of episodes but this one is the most “Jedi” hero like outside of the one from the closing scenes.

Like others apart from a Kenobi himself I’m just in for a Vader. I liked Reva but I have a limited budget and even more limited space so outside of a regular TK Trooper I’m a 2 and done on this series.

I think if HT were to do the Knight/Padawan Kenobi and Anakin it would be under Episode II proper as I imagine collectors would want to include their cloaks and potentially even their “loaner” Lightsabers from the finale.
 
I finally watched episode 6 last night. I've been avoiding huge portions of the Internet since Wednesday. That was a fun episode. Like everyone else, I'd take that beat up Vader. I'll take some form of Obi-Wan from this. I thought all of his looks were pretty cool. I have to admit that I lol'd when Mythos Obi-Wan showed up.

I only just saw it last night too. My wifi died early Tuesday so I had to wait. Mythos Obi Wan with his snazzy goggles was a fun treat. Had to be a nod to collectors.

Can’t say I really enjoyed or loathed the show. As is the current practice, it served only as ‘content’ to convince people to keep their D+ subscriptions a little longer.

The writing, directing, cinematography, score, character designs- well, just about everything was uninspired and lacklustre and the show added nothing of value to or deepened our understanding of existing canon.
oo much contrivance, convenience and a baffling unwillingness for characters to deal the fatal blow when it is absolutely called for.
Qui Gon and all the Jedi who fell confronting Sidious sure seem like weak bitches now that we’ve seen how easily getting skewered by a lightsaber can be shaken off.

Reva being let off the hook because she decided not to slaughter an innocent, defenceless child seems very lenient considering she’s clearly been a heartless murder for at least 5 years. Asaj Ventress did her ark wayyyy better. Shame we can’t get her in live action. I was hoping for a Seppuku type, noble death when she was down on her knees holding her sabre but Disney probably want the option to ‘spin-her-off.’ That’s unlikely now considering how poorly received she’s been. The again, Disney love to double down on bad ideas and will just continue blaming the ‘toxic’ fans for their failures.

I really didn’t expect to rant this much but when you gotta go, you gotta go.
A damaged Vader will surely come but I wish he was more torn up. He had a mountain worth of boulders hurled at him which looked like it barely got his suit dusty. If you’re gonna show defeated Vader, he should have had his suit ripped to shreds, exposed robotics poking out, a torn cape etc. I also would have preferred Obi Wan to win with wits instead of overpowering and out-duelling Vader too. There probably should have been some more environmental factors that could have played into messing with Vader’s suit to weaken and un-focus him as well.

Anyways, since the Disney takeover, it’s best to just give them a chance and then decide what you want to accept as canon after.

If we get a HT Tala before AOTC Amidala, I’ll need to punch something.

Considering the Reva arc (pretty pointless really) I don't think the writers were capable of working out a script that smart imo.

True. Writing intelligent, creative, witty characters and scenes requires the writer to also possess those qualities which certainly was not the case with this show.
Bail Organa openly broadcasting Luke’s whereabouts and the family he’s staying with to Obi Wan while he’s got the entire Empire hot on his tail is possibly the most severe instance of a character behaving with such uncharacteristic idiocy as to be truly offensive.
But I won’t **** on the show anymore.
If BOBF has taught us anything, it’s that our expectations should be set very low for the future of Star Wars.
