Yeah, this is a dandy trio of figures in my opinion also.

Luke Jedi... ShabbyBlue over at GH.com is claiming he has ball/socket shoulders and knee articulation on top of the bicep swivels, wrists (possibly) and the standard other joints... If this is true, then this Luke will be one of the finest figures Hasbro ever made, period.
I'm not so sure that I'm seeing that ball/socket shoulder and knee articulation though, so I'll not be surprised if it isn't there. I just can't tell by the photos myself. Either way though, this Luke is shaping up to be GREAT custom fodder on top of being a simply grand figure. Glad I held off on ever making a Yun the Dark Youth from Jedi Knight now that this new Jedi Luke sculpt is coming.

R1 unit... New droid, nuff said... But I'll say some more anyway. Its scale has been brought into question, but really it's not that big a droid (I think its being in shots with Jawas has mislead some to believe it's really tall). I'm happy to nab a few of this for customizing. They're regular on large starships I hear, so repaints may be in order for this one... Yes, I can turn even R1-G4 into an army builder of sorts.

Bar2-D2... This is the last R2-D2 variation I ever really wanted to see, and finally it's here. If all his crap pops off him he'll even be a good customizing figure I believe, but if not he'll serve his purpose (get it "serve", haha... I'm sorta funny) as the Bartender R2 we all want...
If he were truly "perfect" though then all his gadgets would remove easily and show no real signs other than maybe a pinhole in the top of his dome, and he'd have the articulated 3 legs that the good astromech sculpts all have.
And last he'd have an opening slot in his dome with Luke's Lightsabre hilt able to fit in it, conceiled perfectly.
I'm not expecting all that of course, but if it were perfect that's what it would have.

So this is indeed a nice wave coming up. I can't wait to see these on shelves, but at this point I'm hoping to just see ANY Saga figures on shelves. It's all Clone Wars around me right now and very little Saga is shipping. I've yet to see the new Emperor wave, and all that jive... Hmmm, hope I'm not gonna have to go begging for help on some of this stuff!
