Or, Hasbro will just rerelease all of the figures that they've already made, which is good business. I understand that thinking. Funny how the 2018 date lines up with th erelase of Jedi in 3D, and the end of the Hasbro contract.
A little off topic, but I am surprised that the films will be realsed in order. I like TPM, and I know many people who do. However, it will not have the draw that A New Hope would have in 3D. For many other, TPM was a giant bust...
