I guess I can't speak for the majority but my opinion of Luke is improved upon the hi-rez shots... The joints seem better, the softgoods seem better... Not sure why he's tucking his saber in his belt like that but I dig him regardless. I guess I'm just happy we're getting an SA Jedi Luke because the Saga figure never cut it for me...
But there-in lies the real beauty here... How can ya care much about LUke whe you already have 2 versions of Jedi Luke released in the last short while (Endor and original Jedi) that are both pretty much superior to Jedi Luke here if you don't like all the articulation or the cloth?
I love the Boba too... I think he's at most partially re-used parts, but I don't see the hoses at the right elbow, and there just seems to be at least some differences there. The "bi-dent" or "pigsticker" (nice) is a nifty new piece too, and yes I think we'll see someone get this great accessory for no reason at some point.

I like him... Funny, different... Easy. All good things I think, and really it's the only highlight from the Holiday Special.
Otherwise the wave shapes up as some nice filler figures and McVader's a must this year. If he hadn't gotten made, well that'd really be an odd missing link.
The 3 aliens are cool... Maybe some lacking articulation on a couple though... Looks like a couple might have not much leg movement which in 2007 has been a big plus on most figures so it's a little disappointing when it's missing. CZ-3 is SA though, mostly... Holy crap. Nice. Great paintjob on him too... It's looking like another good wave. If stuff keeps going as it is in 2007, my reviews tend to look odd because I'm full of joy with most of it... I mean, even the stinkers have been decent (Lava Miner for instance). It's crazy.
