.....WTF......this thread is like a magnet
The instruction of Jedi Luke seems to indicate a possible accessories pack later, not a completely "new" figure.
We'll have to wait and find that out.
I Think HT did drop the ball on certain aspects of the figure. DX version was Home run. They should have stuck to that formula. If you going to make a figure like this it should be with all his gear. As someone previous said Companies will try to pump more money off you . In this case I see SS version is more deluxe version. I wonder why did the release it the after HT announce there’s ?

As crazy as it sounds, I am torn on a new figure vs an accessory pack for Endor Luke. For the wallet, my brain screams accessory pack.
For display, I almost want another figure simply because this version of Luke already had 3 awesome looks to choose from (Robe Jabba's Palace, Jedi Vest/belt, and Death Star battle) that having to pick one outfit between 4 looks to display would be a waste of the three other outfits.
These are my sentiments as well, and I've stated this before.
If you have four different outfits for one figure, it just about comes to a point where you say pick one already. Is anyone realistically going to be switching constantly between four outfits? When you start getting that many outfits for one figure, I think having a separate figure is more prudent. For myself, I'm not even likely going to be using the cloak, so I can't imagine having all the spare Endor gear as well. For those who know the Endor gear is the main look that you want, get the Endor/DS combination. For those who know you don't want the Endor gear, get the Tunic/DS combination.
They did an Iron Man accessory set.
But I think there will be a full Endor figure with the option to swap hair, sculpt and helmet between figures.

I hate to say it, but I would buy an Endor Luke to go with my 2 Luke’s I have ordered. Endor Luke and leia will look great with my two Death Star troopers. Wait a minute...

I'm pretty much right there with you. I have two Lukes ordered. I plan on using one with Vader and my pre-order Emperor along with my death star diorama. The second Luke I'm sort of combining, I'd like to do the robe, vest, belt with saber hanging, and battle damaged hand holding the skiff blaster (love that prop!) And just use that more as a display only piece, no real pose or purpose, just all his cool options on him.
So with all that said, I do have a scout trooper and speeder bike already, so I'd love an Endor Luke to pose getting ready to slice the front of the oncoming speeder bike.
It’s bad enough I have to dress myself everyday and my kid. And we only have three outfits between us. I’d rather reroute the grocery money to a second third and forth complete figure.

I can’t really tell if you’re making a sardonic case for why the figure should include all outfits. If so, I can understand your perspective. The more the figure comes with, the more birds you kill with one stone per se, and the more money you save.
I just think of it this way though: imagine for instance if say the DX07 included only one figure/body with one sculpt (given how HT usually is these days), yet included the clean Bespin outfit, BD Bespin outfit, Hoth outfit, and snowspeeder outfit, but only one figure as mentioned. Many of those looks are looks people would want on display in and of themselves, in addition to one of the other looks. So you’d end up having to purchase a separate body anyway and another duplicate sculpt in order to do so. Too many outfits with only one figure sort of becomes a too many cooks in the kitchen scenario to me.
In the case with the RotJ Lukes, you already have two ready made figures with two different sculpts, if you want to have another figure on display with another iconic outfit from the film.
Sardonic may be a little harsh to describe my intent. I was making a tongue in cheek complaint about having to take on mundane actions reserved mostly for caring for one’s self and children and redirecting that energy to regularly scheduled dressings of my Luke doll.
I’d prefer more than one figure if budget can support it. Sorry for the confusion.

Presuming the Endor one ever goes up for PO, that is.
