Just a thought,
Compare the backstory/details we knew about Emperor Palpatine at the end of ROTJ with the backstory/details about Snoke at the end of TLJ. ...
Yep.

Is anyone tracking if the Republic attack Cruiser has been released in the Hot Wheels Starships line? I see it listed on the insert that came with the resistance bomber ship.

Is the cloud city pack with Lobot exclusive to Walmart.com? I've never noticed these in a store and brickseek claims we have none in the Minneapolis area.

Here's an email the Minnesota Zooo Imax just sent to me.

I thought you just got a ticket, pop, popcorn, and some small trinket.  I've not heard of different video content before.  Has that been rumored/announced?

Thats a good point about the word "video" content. Most showings list "exclusive content" but don't mention the word video. Here's the listing for the zoo IMAX.

Was this Mandalorian ship easy to find at some point. I don't remember this at all. Now I'm wondering what else I missed. I see there was a rebels a-wing as well.

Dave, I agreed with everything you said until I realized I don't have to approve a blank check, instead it's just $110 or so to vote in support of this line to ensure the releases of Yak face  Sim Aloo, and maybe the Tonnika Sisters.
