Let's hope that's the case.  I wasn't enthused with the idea of an ANH wave being dominated by cantina aliens.  I guess we'll find out more of the real deal at Comic Con next month.

BTW, if Brainiac is part of the wave, what do people think the name will be?  Is there some weird EU name for him?

Here's a Q and A based on this wave:

QUESTION:  We've been getting indications that there's an A NEW HOPE wave on the way as part of THE LEGACY COLLECTION later on this year.  And Hasbro has openly confirmed figures like Han Solo in Stormtrooper gear, previously mentioned Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper gear, and hinted about a Commander Praji figure.  Will this wave be themed around A NEW HOPE as a whole, including things like Cantina characters along with Death Star or Rebel themed characters, or can we expect a more focused theme centering on a specific focus from within the movie?

ANSWER:  The wave will be focused generally on A New Hope and will include figures from various scenes, such as Luke and Han in Stormtrooper disguise, as well as several Cantina aliens and a few other tempting morsels.  It is a great wave and will also be late; while we were hoping for December on shelf, it may slip to January.  But trust us, it'll be worth the wait.

A few other tempting morsels?  Sounds like more than 6 figures when they put it that way.

July huh? Whew, gonna be a long wait for these guys but well worth it. And here i was kinda worried that we'd be getting barely any Cantina creatures this year. Fantastic sounding wave so far, I do hope it ends up being an 8 figure wave and includes that Jawa/ WED Treadwell droid from the rumor list too. That would be brilliant!

My only hope is that HasbroCDN can supply us with those 4 waves lol. But then again there is a ton of new stuff coming out anyways.

Sweet! This is a brilliant wave. 4 Cantina Aliens, a Sandcrawler droid and Jawa....fantastic! I'll probably complete the set! So it seems this is another astromech BAF wave then? It would be nice if they included some in film astromechs in this wave as theres a whole bunch of unmade astros from Mos Eisley and ANH.

NOTHING is confirmed until it shows up at a Hasbro showing or they announce it

A retail listing on Amazon is a pretty strong indicator.  But seeing is always believing.

Aren't the Jawa and the Spacetroooper the only two left from that list that are yet to be confirmed?...

Certain sources are certainly more credible than others and this point, I'd take this list as gospel.

Well I hope it pans out.  I am a big fan of the cantina figures.  I can not believe they put 4 out in one wave but apparently they will.  I am with others though that do want a Bom Vimdim, Saurin, and a resculpt of Lak Sivrak.  I wonder if they will ever repaint Duro with the brown jacket? 

The rest of the wave sounds great to.  If that droid comes with the Jawa that will just about take care of the droid lineup that Owen had to pick from in ANH right?  I mean we have R2-D2, C-3PO, LIN-V8K, R1-G4, R5-D4, and now the umbrella droid.  Is there any others from the line-up that I am missing? 

Personally I am glad to get Luke and Han in stormtrooper disguise.  I know you could pick up the comic packs but I will probably like single pack versions better especially if they correct Luke's height.  Of course the Kenobi sounds cool.  Finally we may have a decent ANH Kenobi to duel with the thousands of Vaders we have gotten over the past few years. 

I have always wanted that Spacetrooper as a figure.  I know it's just a stormtrooper with a backpack but I still want it!

They planned on addressing the height but the tooling was modified so we're getting the Comic Pack renditions but with better holster apparently...

Yakface/Hasbro QnA 5/9/08
Q2: You confirmed/revealed for our friends at Galactic Hunter that SA versions of Luke and Han in Stormtrooper Disguise will be released in the EIV themed wave. Will these be simple head swap creations and will Luke be released on the smaller 2007 TAC #30 Imperial Stormtrooper body, you know because he is "a little short for a Stormtrooper"?

A2: The figures are based on their counterparts from the Comic Packs. We had actually designed the mid torso to be adjustable in production so you could get a normal or shorter version, but the manufacturer modified the tool model. We are however improving the belt/holster to better hold the Imperial blaster.
