could be pretty easily squashed by SSC if they saw fit to clarify.
I'm sure they're respecting that HT wants to make some big announcements at this 10th anniversary event.

The only way this would be kind of bad is if it turns out to be Cosbabies or Chubbies.
I don't believe my wish of HT taking over is going to come true. I believe it's gonna be HT doing some and SS doing some. (or that SS will eventually pass the reigns.)
Either that or it's going to be HT doing those small 3 3/4 articulated SW figs
or SSC gives up the license.
an announcement of HT getting the license could equal an announcement that there are only 4 figures left to make and them all being remakes.
I'll say this, if an HT Star Wars line, not just one or two like I think we'll get with Indy but an actual line kicks off, I'll be a little upset looking at my shelves. I followed the Terminator line only to have HT redo it. I followed the Indy only to have HT redo at least Indy. Star Wars line other than the Dead was my most complete line from SSC and it'd just be another case of the same.
I know people will say "At the time...." or "You can have both...." or even "Well no one knew...." or "I'll display them both!" but in terms of space and cash and knowing that as soon as the HT figure hits my SSC will practically be unable to be sold at their retail prices it doesn't really help me.
I'm hoping for a ROTJ Luke but it'll make my three in my possession a little useless.

How come you have 3 Jedi Lukes?
He and Boba Fett are my favorite from the OT. I have the Tatooine look, DSII Look and I kitbashed a Legacy Ghost Luke. I even won Jedi Luke twice from chats and turned them down for alternative prizes (one was a Jedi Luke PF! ) so there isn't a doubt I'd be going for at least two with an HT ROTJ Luke...the thing is that bashing stuff with HT always seemed easier.
If this pans out to be something 1/6, I don't think there's anything to overreact to. I think one way or another, further efforts by HT in the 1/6 Star Wars world would be good for us.

Honestly of any of the characters right off the bat I could see Luke being the DX of the line. With one figure you could have the option of the Jabba's Palace Luke and the DSII Luke but by adding an alternative HS with the Endor helmet and including the poncho you really have three figures in one that sounds right up the DX's lane.
I am kinda done with Sideshow items, so if Hot Toys does have the license or whatnot, great. Id pick up a Hot Toys Grievous, Vader, decent ANH Luke, etc
