I just got done reading the new book "Darth Vader: Dark Lord" (or something like that). Spoilers ahead, so if you haven't read it yet and want to, go back now.





At the end of the book, Obi Wan is sitting in a cantina on Tattooine when he sees a HoloVid that shows a mysterious, black cloaked figure leading stormtroopers on Kassyyk. He then finds out that this figure is known as "Darth Vader" and only then does he realize that Anakin did not die. I forgot that he sees the HoloVids from the temple where he hears Palpatine call Anakin "Lord Vader" but he never got to see Vader in the suit until then. Which all makes sense.

However, books such as this are not considered "canon" in the SW universe (even though they all have to be approved by Lucasfilm before printing, which makes no sense). So I guess we are supposed to just assume that somewhere between Episode 3 and Episode 4 he learns that Anakin became Vader?

My gift hasn't been sent yet... because I'm still waiting for it to arrive in my hands so I can send it back out. And no, I'm not "re-gifting". Sheesh.

Just made a deal with Chris - two, technically. Everything arrived nice and minty.

Thanks Chris!!!

 

Yeah, that sucks. I really wanted to see an undefeated Colts team come into Seattle for a showdown....

Wow!  Wonder why they would have basically two life Yoda statues come out in the same year?

What was the other?

And I thought it was pretty funny, reading the description of this statue, it says "Stands 6 inches tall" and then they show the picture of the small girl sitting on the floor next to it. I said, wow, that's a tiny kid 

I'm ******* sick of GG doing crap like this. I got over the Silver Sandtrooper last year, since I had the chance to get a regular Sandtrooper, but to make an entirely new product of a character not seen before is really ****** up on their part.

Just goes to show that the people who buy all their crap (like me) don't mean **** to them apparently.

As far as I know... I could be mistaken.

Depends on which "chase" figures you're referring to. The regular line chase figures (Leia, Vader/Maul, Silver Boba Fett, Sith Anakin) have been pretty easy to find in my experience. The "exclusive" chase figures (Blackhole trooper and Gree) seem to be the harder to find ones. And as far as I can tell, SWS.com doesn't offer cases of these, and these chases are showing up in their exclusive line.
