[QUOTE="shawn_k, post: 327160, member: 531"] I've wondered this too. One theory for at least 3 of them that I have is that it was to get you to want to go to the store and get the other figures. You have Luke, so you obviously need Vader for a duel. You have Chewbacca, so you also need to go and buy Han to go with him, and then R2-D2 you have to get C-3PO. Maybe with Leia there's the connection that she sought out Obi-Wan for help, so you'd need him too. On the other hand it very well could have been that they were the first figures available. I know in some documentaries it was also mentioned that they didn't expect Vader to be so popular with kids as he turned out to be, so it could have just been Kenner wanted to give a nice "hero" set in the beginning as they thought it'd help sell more early bird sets for Christmas.
