I don't think you need to ask for this with Disney at the helm...
What you might want is for Hasbro to carry on making them, and prey the prices stay sensible.
:shock: It just hit me, Star Wars figures will be available in the Disney store, I think I will fall asleep crying into my pillow tonight...![]()
monkey_roo said:I do hope they stay away from the sort of animation they have done for Earths Mightiest Heroes or Ultimate Spider-Man (and the tone of the latter), I think that style works with that material but just wouldn't work with Star Wars. Personally I loved the Clone Wars look, feel and tone so wouldn't object to seeing more of it but I guess Disney will want to present something to distinguish their offering from others. Still this is great stuff to see, but to say it hasn't been covered is a little wrong, hasn't been covered on TV or film, for all the EU fans this period has had a fair bit of attention lately do again it will be interesting to see how Disney feel about riding roughshot over the EU cannon - or not
Still looking forward to this.
escapist said:At least they will actually be in stock!!!! THe number of Cars, Toy Story and Marvel toys in every Disney store I go in is always impressive!! It can only be a good thing surely if there's another, more reliable source????

I Googled it and it turns out you are right. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Skippy_the_Jedi_Droid
'One day, R5 removed his restraining bolt with the Force, and Force persuaded the Gamorrean guards to let him leave. Skippy wandered the desert for days in search of his destiny, until finally he was picked up by a Jawa sandcrawler. There he had visions of Darth Vader and Princess Leia, and met R2-D2 and C-3PO.'

Maybe we can go halves and get Mumbo a Double Telescoping Pluto :wink:
Cc4rhu said:No. It was a tongue in cheek joke story. It was never intended to be taken as a moving of the story. There are a few others like that - called SW Infinities.
