Crazy Idea - what if we changed up the categories and did our own "Eras Tour" #TaylorSwift

  Top 20 - Fall of the Jedi (TPM, AOTC, ROTS)
  Top 20 - Reign of the Empire (Solo, OWK, Andor, Rogue One)
  Top 20 - Age of Rebellion (ANH, ESB, ROTJ)
  Top 20 - The New Republic (TM, BOBF, Ahsoka)
  Top 20 - Rise of the First Order (TFA, TLJ, TROS)
  Top 20 - Animation (Droids, Ewoks, Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, Tales of the Jedi, etc)
  Top 20 - EU (Everything else - books, comics, video games, Kenner, etc)

On one hand, I kind of want to do a "Top 10 - The High Republic Era (Acolyte)  wishlist" to vote for stuff like TVC Torbin, Kelnacca, Indara, Bazil, Qimir, etc. 

On the other hand though, I'm not sure if it would matter in the long run - is anyone going to put anything from The Acolyte into their Top 25 list? #hmm  ???

I think the Stranger would be close to making it into a Top 25... but I suppose it depends on what else is available.

I kind of want to get Kelnacca in there just because I like the idea of a Wookiee Jedi action figure, but there is so much I want from ANH, ROTJ, Rogue One and more I guess Kelnacca can wait until a 2025 wishlist.  ;)

It looks like we've arrived at the Tournament of Champions.  Seeing as we don't have a High Republic era, do we want to add this for August?  Maybe limit it to the top 5 choices or 10 instead of 20?

Not much input on these polls I guess.  We know there is stuff in the pipeline (Indara, Yord, etc) so let's just mix the High Republic stuff into next year somewhere.

I vote we go ahead and kick off the tourney of champions in August and then let that run until Hasbro Pulse Con in September (9/13).

Aug 14 to Sep 13 = Tournament of Champions
Sep 13 = Hasbro Pulse Con pipeline/reveals  (give them time to pipeline more stuff to support the Cantina before we jump into another round of wish lists)

Then after that we kick off a new round in October?  Or do we re-start a new round in January?

I'd be mixed on a High Republic poll... mostly because I know none of those figures would crack my top 100 list from figures of all eras, except for maybe The Stranger.

Maybe wait until January for the next round, to get a few new pipeline reveals in the mix first?

I don't know that I could generate a decent list for High Republic era characters outside of Vernestra Rwoh and Kelnacca.  I think this is where the whole "Eras" concept could run into some challenges in light of The Acolyte being the only show to represent that timeframe, and the rest being print.  Unless it's an Old Republic / High Republic poll.

Sorry.  I've been out of town for the past few days so haven't had chance to reply. 

Seems like we'll do the ToC from now to PulseCon... a few days short of a month probably wouldn't hurt since there's about 4 or 5 participants here.  Let me get the lists organized and post.

I just realized that I'm going to be mid-safari on Sept 13th, so I won't be able to tally results until after I get back.

And I'm sure there will be some cool exclusive drops that I'll likely miss out on, too.

Meh, that just gives stragglers extra time to vote. :P  Enjoy your safari and don't worry about it.

And hopefully there will be some reveals that people can change votes as well.
