1/6 NEXT Hot Toys STAR WARS Figure...?

[matticus]

I think this is a different tihng altogether, kidding aside. The Picture Book Of Beta Fatt existed just to kill time until MandoS3 and to make Booba "cleaner" for mass consumption. Kenobi doesn't suffer from these problems, and none of the TBOBF people are involved like Rodriguez, so I'm still optimistic.

This will kill time until Andor lol

At least you can count on a lightsaber battle.

Just don't expect too much for Kenobi and you should be fine.

In Rebels, Maul killed all those Inquisitors without too much trouble, given it was a group battle. Maul is then 3-hit killed by Obiwan. By logic, the Inquisitors should not be much of a problem to Obiwan but they probably will. I expect Obiwan to be nerfed.

rumours are that Jimmy Smits is back.
There could FINALLY be some in depth Alderaan stuff coming.

Hohoho, no. Remember how we thought we were going to see Jango flashbacks on Kamino, or perhaps snippets of his training under Jaster Mereel in BoBF?

What fools we all were.

Well, fool me twice and all that. So I expect nothing truly insightful or lore-building in Kenobi. My bar is low: I hope to come out of Kenobi -not- in a state of complete outrage. C'mon LFL, this is a low bar and I have faith you can do it! Not.

How about prime pre-Rotj Boba? How do you not do any of that? Or ESB bounty hunters?

Honestly, even with Mando, the SW world building is atrocious. They lack SW understanding and cannot pull the trigger. SW can only be told from the outskirts of civilization for some reason.

PT already failed me so why would a drifter Kenobi show have any redeeming qualities? It will cover what we can already speculate it being - an attempt to bring fluff to an irrelevant point in SW.

A GREAT QUESTION, if I'm understanding you correctly, and one I think we'd all like an answer to.

SW can only be told from the outskirts of civilization for some reason.

...and why, we do not know. We do have lots of deserts on earth for handy filming, but also plenty of urban landscapes and ocean landscapes etc. remember how we all felt at the mere sight of Kamino in BoBF! Our hair practically stood on end as a literal tidal wave rolled across the base of Tipoca City. It was beautiful and terrifying.

*NOPE!* back to the desert we go.

I just remember Canto-Bight.... so now I'm "city-shy".

100% you will have the old people bashing Kenobi. Anything featuring a character from the OT will be viciously attacked.

Problem is there is too many bad writers. Not sure if it is the creatives or the awful management.

Well canon was a thing. It shouldn't be now with the corporations exploiting characters and just wanting them out there for the buck. Plus, disingenuous story telling is pretty pathetic and it has become a habit with Star Wars and frankly Star Trek. Problem is, people keep consuming cause there is a possibility it is good. Apparently, as long as SW rolls in the dough they will keep shoveling it.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Hot Toys must think it's still Chinese New Year.

 

[Victοr]

Maybe they're just going to skip The Picture Book Of Beta Fatt entirely and are preparing for Kenobi and its sweet PT goodness and flashbacks... I mean... they could be... A man can dream...

 

[DarkChocobi]

Im fine with no more BOBF's announcements, even Cad Bane.

Same. I don’t even really want the mando boba 2 pack now. It really was a waste of a show. Time to leave boba and Luke alone

Isn't that a good thing? Now you can save all this $ and splash it on a custom Bespin Han.

Cad will be back. That beeping noise wasn't just there to signal his death. HT could kick that can down the road for the next appearance.

 

[ScoutingForToys]

Cad Bane surviving would rob Boba of the only thing of note he actually did in the series. So of course he'll be fine and appear elsewhere.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Howard will make Cad. Probably use the same skinny body for Cobb.

 

[fantasticfrog]

True. That’s the only way to get him.

I'm really excited to get the Part 2 flying Delorean myself but it's absolutely absurd how random Hot Toys is when you think about what they just did. They previewed that version like 8 years ago and did nothing with it even after releasing the part 2 figures. Then just this fall out of nowhere they finally make the part 3 figures that BTTF fans really wanted and they preview the part 3 car. They do nothing with the car for months, then randomly "go back in time" and release the part 2 car. Literally WTF?

All that being said today is a happy day, at least for me it is. Howard how about you lose your damn mind again next week and make the Death Star Trooper?
