This episode was okay, but whoever comes up with the storyboarding is horrible.  Why would one continue to fly directly into the path of a barrage of laser fire?  Why wouldn't one try to find a weakness in their range?  Hera did it in episode 2 and Sabine did it in this episode.  Also, bad guys, why would you aim at Ahsoka when you could just blow up the ship she's standing on?  And I'm pretty sure they used the same effects shot at least twice when they were firing on Ahsoka's ship.  Perhaps it was a nod to the original Battlestar Galactica? 

Sorry, these things took me out of the story a bit.

Hasbro can't be happy about them being marked down so much.

I wouldn't think so.  I know there were some on forums (not here) complaining about price and waiting for discount prices.  I'm sure those same people complain when Hasbro isn't making x vehicle because it would be too expensive and stores don't want to buy them and lose money on them.

These are the new entries for the ToC:
The Original Trilogy
Han Solo (Yavin Ceremony)

Expanded Universe
Sha'a Gi (Clone Wars)
Umbaran Soldier (The Clone Wars)
Tig Fromm (Droids)

Got a few more days to get those lists for the Tournament of Champions in!

This was harder to choose 25 than I thought.

I know - I keep looking at the list, trying to pick and then leaving it for another day.  I'm getting closer though - my list is down to 37.

I was in the same boat.  I kept going back and forth about who I wanted on the list and who to leave off.  Finally, I just put a list I would be happy with and left it at that.

Well, this was quite difficult to whittle down to 25 picks, especially since Hasbro should have released many of these by now.  Anyway, here are my "champions"

• Beru Lars (A New Hope)
• Brea Tonnika (A New Hope)
• Owen Lars (A New Hope)
• Senni Tonnika (A New Hope)
• Wuher (A New Hope)
• Defenestrated Weequay (Return of the Jedi)

• Anakin Skywalker (The Phantom Menace)
• Tey How (The Phantom Menace)
• Cliegg Lars (Attack of the Clones)
• Padmé Amidala (Naboo Lake Villa Retreat) (Attack of the Clones)
• Padmé Amidala (Naboo Picnic) (Attack of the Clones)
• Darth Sidious/Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Office Duel) (Revenge of the Sith)
• Darth Vader (Post-Mustafar Duel) with medcapsule (Revenge of the Sith)
• Han Solo (Erevana) (The Force Awakens)
• Emperor Palpatine (Zombie/Clone) (The Rise of Skywalker)
• Finn (Pasaana Adventure) (The Rise of Skywalker)
• Poe Dameron (Pasaana Adventure) (The Rise of Skywalker)
