Just thought of something in regards to ANH figures in 2007

I know man, looks like C:IV and San Diego are "our last hope".

actually I liked ROTJ the most..

Depending on the mood I am in, my favorites fluctuates between ESB and ROTJ as my favorite, and as a 32 year old "OG-OT fan" my favor does tend to swing towards ROTJ more often.

At this point I think at most we will get maybe 1 or 2 (perhaps as "many" as 3) figures from ANH this year... during the big 30th Anniversary.

It's mid-February and we have yet to hear a single ANH figure announced. It looks like it won't happen at Toy Fair. So what's next? C4? That's in May. Any figure(s) announced then likely won't ship until the 4th Quarter or even 1st Quarter of 2008.

In short, I think ANH is going to get the shaft in the year that is its 30th Anniversary.

Its only February.. they will announce about 10 more figs this year and I am sure a lot of them will be ANH.

You're probably under 30 then.

Actually, I'm 33 and I also like ROTJ the best.

Now, do I think it's the best piece of filmmaking or has the strongest story of any of the films in the series? No, I don't; in that regard, I'd give Eps Iv & V the edge.

However, ROTJ featured my favorite characters in the entire saga (Jabba, Fett & Palpatine) as well as my favorite location (Jabba's Palace).

Being a Star Wars[/i' fan to me is less about the actual narrative and more about loving the incredibly rich and diverse universe that all the folks at Lucasfilm were responsible for creating for us to play around in. For this reason, I thoroughly enjoy the prequel trilogy for its dense background shots and two-second-of-screen-time aliens, despite the clunky writing and acting.

Now, bring on the Emperor's throne, Sideshow!

You must work for Sideshow, then.

That's kind of how I look at SW. It's all the characters, creatures, places, and events that make SW special. When I watch it I'm not looking for Oscar winning acting but I am looking for a hell of a good time. Which I get and so for me SW is about kicking back and enjoying the ride.
