I took his line in ROTS about "going into exile" or whatever as his understanding that the course of action he'd been taking (direct confrontation of Palpatine) wasn't the direction the force was directing him to take, so he was taking that direction. Basically he'd come to realize that he couldn't match power for power and another approach was necessary.
If anyone doesn't care, and wants to do me a favor, please vote Bib Fortuna on the mini-bust part.
The Man Bat is a reuse of the SDCC white albino one a few years back. The Joker is completely new using the Gentleman Ghost body.
I was not aware the Qui-Gon coupon was included with the animated figures. I really dig the Clone cash because I by so much of it, it's nice to see them give back. I may apply this to the Imperial Arc that I have been on the fence about buying.
I think Jayson reported that multiple Clone Cash Coupons could be used on one purchase. Maybe try that if you're after the ARC-170. It's overpriced even after $5 taken off. Getting suckered into the purchase only gives Hasbro the impression that repainted ripoffs are something the line needs more of. Vote with your dollars! Vote "NO" on proposition 170!
It was definitely more than just an overnight flight. Remember Han's comment about Bespin being pretty far, but we can make it? Also there is the issue of the Empire arriving before Han did, thereby leaving Lando no choice. I figure they had to fly a couple days, up to a week or two, just to get to Bespin (thereby giving Boba a chance to track them, then jump ahead of the Falcon, call in the Empire and lean on Lando. This would also give Luke a couple weeks on Dagobah for his training (probably the fastest novice to nearly knight in history....).
I don't think Leia kept alot of different outfits on the Falcon. Chewie doesn't wear clothes. As for Han, I think alot of us look pretty much the same from day to day as far as what we wear.
Not sure about you, but I have more than one shirt and pair of pants, so I will likely look a little different from day to day. I can guarantee that if I was trapped on a ship for a month - a ship I used as my home, I would have a change of outfit and look different than I had a month prior. The fact that the characters all look pretty identical to when they were in the asteroid suggests that they weren't habbling along in space for quite that long.
I would assume that Leia didn't have a change of clothes at all - she wasn't planning on leaving Hoth on the Falcon. That was a last-minute change when she was unable to get to her transport.
Has anyone scored that new Luke/Lumiya set? And is Lumiya the same color as in the comic...Hasbro said that they would do her that way.
And one question regarding Lumiya (I thought I'd put it here since I'm already talking about her). Luke shoots her ship down, and she's severly injured, which is how she becomes a cyborg. But in the Essential Guide to the Force book, with Luke and Vader on the cover, Lumiya is shown with Vader, and she's being treated by a medical droid. In this pic her body appears whole, even her arms, which are described as cybernetic in many novels, look real - is she a cyborg in this picture? How come she appears relatively unharmed? Did Vader and the droids fix her cybernetic body up to look real? Or is she still 100% organic here?
