With Aphra coming out on her own card, the only reason I purchased this set was for the droids.
This is the way.

Pretty much the same with Matt...  not to say I didn’t want Aphra.  She’s a cool figure herself, nicely done, but the droids were my main motivator for this.  If I hadn’t had to buy this for them though, I wouldn’t have.  I’d rather them single carded or whatever.  The droids are neat and the R5 especially is nice but Aphra is the best overall figure in the set and can be had later.

As far as people knowing her or not I think that’s as up in the air as every single other EU character we’ve ever gotten.  I’d say she’s got a strong backing and a lot of hate and general disinterest too, but then again I don’t think 35+ y/os are that plentiful in the hobby anymore either, so eh, whatever.  I’m not unhappy to own the figures in the set.  If it’s a good figure I’m usually pretty content these days.

I read the Darth Vader comic where they originally appeared and liked it.  Nice to have the trio.

I love this set, in spite of having no idea who these characters are. It is weird that the set is still available. Perhaps Hasbro is adjusting quantities based on previous years? This might be a good omen for me given that SDCC changed it's professional criteria which has made me no longer eligible for a badge.

Got my set in the mail yesterday. Packaging is a lot cooler than I expected with the foil and such, but I still wish there was a cheaper/better way to get the droids on their own. Watch some 5POA versions in a 2 pack come out with the TVC Aphra.
