...well I have no problem seeing it for free...depending on the price I'd be game. Not sure I'd go $299 like the light cycle, but something close to what the Aliens lifter went for I'd be down.

Thats what I am hoping for. I really don't want a rehash of old Sideshow figs.
Somebody needs to rehash SSC's early SW figures, regardless of whether its Hot Toys or not (and preferably not Medicom or Enterbay.)

Jedi Luke done by Hot Toys would make my day. He needs an update imo.

If they are only going to do a few characters I don't want them wasting one on another Jedi Luke. I want them to do the ones Sideshow can't/won't like Chewy, Boba Fett, 3PO, R2....

For the fun of it, if they did come out with SSC remakes, if you could only get 5, what would your list be?
1. Darth Maul
Sideshow's sculpt is great, but the posability isn't quite there for a flexible character like Maul, and there's some costuming things I'd like bettered.
2. Episode III Obi-Wan
This one mainly for paint. Andy's sculpt is nice, but the paint apps on the beard and hair lack the detail work Hot Toys would give it, or even Sideshow's Clone Obi-Wan got on the beard.
3. Episode III Anakin
This one mainly because of how the right arm was handled, both the swapping design and also the lack of posability in the gloved hand. I really like the look and wish the figure had the posability for some really cool saber poses but it doesn't have it, plus the arm falling out with ease.
4. ANH Han Solo
You can't beat Trev's sculpt, but the paint leaves much to be desired and the Buck hurts the posing. Even though these could be fixed the custom root, I'm just saying, if HT were to remake previously done figures, these are the ones I'd be excited about them doing.
5. ROTJ Luke
Just one of my favorite figures to ever have, so another take wouldn't hurt in my mind, and I missed out on the Exclusive so a chance to get the gun from Jabba's place would be nice.

My picks would be pretty mundane, but I'm really only interested in the core characters. So. . .
1) New Hope Han Solo
2) Bespin Luke (my favorite Luke look--battle damaged alternate head would be nice)
3) New Hope Luke (Sideshow version is very good IMO, but a Hot Toys version could be a centerpiece in my collection)
4) New Hope Leia
5) Bespin Han
I haven't had Old Ben in my collection, but impressions on him are pretty good. If I had reason to really start getting into Star Wars (which Hot Toys producing figures would give me), then I'm sure I would like to see an update of him, as well.

I would buy ANH or AOTC Obi-Wan over if HT did them, just because Obi-Wan is my favorite hero and I like all his looks enough, but those two are pretty set as is so I wouldn't feel the excitment over a new version like i would Episode 3, that's my favorite Obi-Wan look and I'd love an HT quality figure of it.
ANH Leia is probably the most in need of a redo of the whole line. Sculpt's not bad, but paint (eyes) and the costume were never really there, and it's such a basic figure, there's nothing to help you look past that.

Ok, another Han I could see since the original was pretty bad and maybe a Maul but I think the rest are fine... especially Obi.
I was alright with Episode 3 Obi-Wan until Clonobi, the detail of the beard, the way the paint of the beard runs into the skin of his cheeks, it looks so good and real, it makes the Episode 3 beard look fake, I'd love an Episode 3 portrait painted with that level of realism in the beard. The rest of the portrait could use some better detailing too, but the beard's the big thing for me. Doesn't even need to be Hot Toys, Sideshow could do it and just have it painted to the standard of Clonobi. Still don't get why the AOTC head wasn't painted as nice as Clonobi, but that figure set a bar with me for beard paint jobs on 1/6 figures.

I actually do have a few minor concerns about HT doing Star Wars. If they do a droid like C-3PO, the torso is very likely to be the soft plastic like Iron Man and that stuff faded in sunlight...fast.

n addition to the obvious droids and Chewie, I'd be interested in:
Hoth Luke
Hoth Han
Hoth Leia
X Wing Luke
Episode 1 Naboo soldier (pref Panaka)
Those type of characters I can see having outfits of high detail with HT can do well and charge for it.
Almost every other character should and could be done easily at the $100 price point by SSC if they just improve their paint standards. It shouldn't cost a 50% price increase to do so.

Yeah, Obi-Wan's fine from the neck down, and the portrait isn't terrible, it's just one of the more important figures to me personally and improvement at the portrait level would be nice to me. If someone would make and sell just bettered portraits, I'd even be ok with slapping a new head on the Buck.
Top 5 remakes?
1. ANH Leia - SS's is all kinds of wrong to me. The sculpt is just ok but way too big.
2. Bespin Han - This would be awesome from HT. There is very little that I actually like about SS's.
3. Bespin Luke - Really needs a new sculpt and a muscle body to pull off the training scene with Yoda.
4. Maul - I agree with everything MaulFan said. Plus I'd like a more aggressive sculpt along with a neutral one.
5. Jedi Luke - Loved it when it came out. It blew away everything that was 1:6 SW at the time but now he really needs updating. A better, more well proportioned sculpt and a different expression plus a TT body would do wonders for this figure.

ANH Leia definately needs an improvement, but $150 for one? You could pick up a 2nd hand Leia PF for slightly more. The outfit is just so simple. Maybe she could come with a ton of accessories or a really detailed base like HT will do now and then.
