I can't express how shocked I am that after 4 years, 60+ figures (a dozen or so of them EU) and still only THREE from The Empire Strikes Back!! :panic:

I'm sure some are most likely right around the corner but man, who woulda guessed?
 
Well, in a way that is a good thing. Bespin Han sucks. Bespin Luke has a horrible sculpt. But the newest, Lando, rocks.
 
The problem is, Star Wars is a tough property to do a line from unless you're 4" Hasbro figures being cranked out in the dozens each year. There are just so many characters to chose from, whatever choices you make are bound to get mixed reactions. I think for the most part, Sideshow's done a pretty good job of balancing the releases and putting out something for everyone.
 
We need Episode 1 Obi. I was gutted when SS said they were doing him but they thought he wasn't up high on collectors lists. I'm sure they said something like that in a Q&A session.
 
We have about 2 months between now and the SDCC. I hope we get at least 2 announcements during this time.:)

They haven't said anything regarding collector want, I believe what they said was that he's further out on there list, like probably a 2011 figure. He's pretty basic compared to some of the stuff we've seen them working on lately, so I'm sure a figure like that is reserved for filling in between certain releases. I don't know what dictates Sideshow's releases, but I think Ep 1 Obi-Wan is just a matter of when they feel it's the right time to put him out, not that they feel no one cares so they can sit on it, I'd actually even say people probably care more for that one than Ep 2, especially where Ep 2 is a solo figure and Ep 1 would complete the Duel of the Fates trio.

No, he was right. I remember reading that Q&A. They don't think demand is as great for him. And like Platty, I completely disagree. It's a major hole in my collection. But unless they're planning on doing "ghost" versions :)monkey4), it's also their final Obi Wan.

Until they go back and fix that ROTS one. Didn't in one Q&A they state that there were a few that they had been considering going back to and fixing? I could be crazy. :cuckoo:

I believe that was in reference to Jedi Luke. That'd be a little nuts though. People are always gonna have issues with something, especially concerning Star Wars collectors. They'd be perpetually going back and fixing things. Sometimes it's best to just accept the errors and move on. I personally didn't find General Kenobi to be a bad figure at all. Sure the beard was off, but look how long ago that figure was released. Bespin Han... that's another story. :lol
