But, damn, extra points to the person who posed and photographed Fett.

That would be Matthew Cohen, an amateur toy photographer who has gone by ShootingTheGalaxy over on Instagram for years (he and I had a deal where we would trade Cardboard Galaxy displays for his awesome promo photos of said pieces.)

Hasbro hired him earlier this year, and his stuff has been all over Pulse lately. I am super proud of him, and he would be appreciative of the notice.

Very cool all around: That you negotiated a quid pro quo; you know an insider; and he got a job tied to his hobbies.

I don't have an Instagram account but managed to see several of the pictures before the Instagram logon message pops up and locks the screen. Impressive stuff.

I was wondering just the other day if we’d ever get TVC Fett in his robes. Ugh.

Years ago, we were looking at figure variations. Now we contemplate buying ships because of the changes... 

But, damn, extra points to the person who posed and photographed Fett.

Been a bountiful 5 weeks.

Over the weekend I got the green Fan channel clones, Shae Vizla, Super Commando Mandalorian (not sure why amazon sent them in two shipments of 1 and 3 figures), and today or tomorrow I get something else that I cant look up right now.

Nice Dark Trooper surprise from Target. Limit of 2.

Maybe they'll set aside some for premium members a few hours ahead of making them available for purchases by all. I certainly hope so since I wound up becoming  a member several months back when HasbroPulse started charging for shipping. Getting pre-orders at the time were a crap shoot at other onlines but generally pretty good on HP.

Three nice figures, one bad 3-pack. Hope the Purge Trooper gets wide distribution by itself.

Vader didn't finish her because to do so would have been a mercy, and mercy isn't the way of the sith.

Yes! In Rebels (spoilers??)

the GI chose to fall to his death, saying it was preferable to what Vader would do to him for failing.

I believe this is why Vader let Obi Wan go. There was no need to imprison him. Always having to watch his back for an inqusitor, or dodging imperials... His existence would be torture.

I did raise an eyebrow after Vader threatened Reva in an earlier part/episode that he would off her before she can regret failing. But it's clear that was just his musings.

And you know, this really makes you wonder why he didn’t just pull the Falcon back on Hoth…

I thought the same, but of Leia's ship at the end of Rogue One. I figure he's 10 years older by then and the Falcon and corvette were probably more powerful than the transport.

Nobody gonna say anything about the Little Rascals move of slipping Leia under the trench coat? 

I’ll admit, I didn’t really bat an eye at it but Twitter was not amused lol.

Twittter, reddit, everywhere, it seems like. Probably 2nd in criticism only to Vader and Obi Wan's first meeting since Mustafar. (Never mind the remaining parts in this series and 10 years before their DS battle for another duel to take place.)

As for Leia and Ben going unnoticed in their walk through a crowd of Imperials, I chalked it up to Obi Wan using Jedi mind tricks. Not soft-tossed to us, but we already know how persuasive he can be.
