NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

[Khev]

Only one left is the flametrooper, who has no OT connection

Sure he does!

 

[TonTon]

These burn marks are too accurate for sand people. Only First Order Flametroopers could produce these levels of crispiness.

 

[IrishJedi]

I'm not sure it was that deliberate, but I can tell you that many individuals involved in the new movies despised JJ Abrams.

Not cast and crew, that's for sure. They love the guy.

 

[Smudger9]

Looks a bit like the OT Spacetrooper.

 

[SNIKT1950]

Battlefront Shock Trooper up for PO finally. Drought officially over.

 

[TaliBane]

Not cast and crew, that's for sure. They love the guy.

People closer in level to the director - execs, producers, department heads (established ones) tend to be more candid.

Sure he does!

I always wondered - how did that happen exactly? Stormtroopers stood around them and fired laser blasts until they were fried? It's just that people hit with laser beams in SW just fall over dead.

So yeah - maybe flametroopers were OT after all. Though I can't imagine Owen and Beru put up much of a fight.

 

[amvmm]

My thoughts exactly.

I expected FN-2187 but not the SF TIE Fighter Pilot.

Good news for us.

Finn Stormtrooper and SF Tie Pilot are the perfect candidates for this year exclusives

I think they just burned the bodies to make it look like a raider attack. In ANH in particular, the Imperials were murderous thugs but acted like they actually had to govern, and between bad publicity and maybe not wanting to tip off the public that they had lost something big -- they were somewhat sneaky about their murdering.

And I'm pretty sure somewhere there's an EU story wherein we find out that Beru and Owen were cybernetically enhanced ninjas from their days as super-spies for some Galactic Cartel and took like...fifteen elite stormtroopers down before self-detonating in order to finish the fight and protect Luke.

Until Poe shoots FN2187's stormtrooper friend and somehow he gets all bloody.

Leia bled from the shoulder when she was shot in ROTJ.

 

[TonTon]

Yeah I guess that's true. Always seemed like the lasers burned or singed rather than caused bleeding but she had a bloody bandage after that shot.

 

[Khev]

Star Wars has never really been consistent with those types of things. Walrus Man's severed arm bleeds, Luke's cauterizes, etc.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yep. SW = inconsistency.

It's one of the few series' that wears that as a badge of honour.

Do you think that after the battle of Endor the rebels piled all the dead ewoks and burnt them the same way Luke and 3PO piled the dead Jawas to be burnt?

 

[Tee-Kay]

Maybe Walrusman/Ponda Baba suffered from hemophilia

 

[devilof76]

Except that it's not hemoglobin stopping a laser burn from bleeding.

 

[Glennfett]

Where is the next figure from the Star Wars saga please Hot Toys?
Need a reveal soon!

 

[Mr Walker]

I hope it's Tarkin.

The funny thing about fantasy is that you can imagine stuff that are not related to our reality. Maybe Aqualish just don't have a circulatory system based on vessels, maybe their cells can endure extremely high temperature without burning...who knows?

 

[Mandible]

I hope it's Tarkin.

I would dance the jig if they do him!!!!!!
