Star Wars Black Series

Cassian in flight suit just shipped. I wish I had him in time for the premiere, but I'm in a really good location for Pulse deliveries - they always show up within a day or two of shipping for some reason. Just have a warehouse or something nearby.
 
I was just able to order the Visions Ronin from Pulse if anybody's still looking for one.

What a rollercoaster.
 
I would love if they did Watto. But I would love it if they made any characters from Episode I. It is still to this day my favorite Star Wars movie. I wish the entire movie line of 3.75" Episode I figures would get made in the Black Series.

But it's not likely. I'm not sure many other people than me would buy a Sio Bibble or Chancellor Valorum figure. But I can always hope.

I hope Pulse gets in the Wave with Sebulba soon too. I have been eagerly awaiting that Wave.
 
First 3 episodes of Andor season 2 were fantastic (not that I expected anything less). Wasn't sure if I'd wanna keep flight suit Cassian before, but the outfit gets a lot of use in the show, even if not in its entirety. Worse comes to worse, I can just stick the helmet on him and have a generic pilot. When can we get a 2 pack of Syril and his mom, the most ruthless villain in all of Star Wars? I'm pretty sure even Palpatine would quake before her. :ROFLMAO:

The character helping Mon Mothma in Andor reminds me so much of Valorum. I think the eyes are different colors, but the rest is so similar.

Also, those beautiful Chandrila costumes!

From Ep1 I just want Theed Amidala. Bonus points if she comes in a Throne Room box, fancy package like the Ronin set. Was her make-up Chinese inspired or Japanese? If Chinese, very bummed they didn't take advantage of this year's Celebration.

I guess I would take Shmi, every other version of Padme, Tarpals, Boss Nass, Watto, 3PO, Panaka - well crap, I guess I'm in for everyone too. :)
 
Haven't finished the first three episodes yet (got about halfway through while on the treadmill earlier) but I already regret not picking up flight suit Andor at Target the other night (mine from Pulse is on a truck somewhere already, though), I would like a Tay figure (he really does look like Chacellor Valorum--now there's a figure I had an entire head canon for before Episode I hit theaters just based on the utterly useless action figure!) and those Chandrila costumes are amazing.

As I'm watching the Chandrila scenes I literally thought: childhood Star Wars crush, Leia, angry young man Star Wars crush, Asajj Ventress... middle-aged old man who wants to fix the world crush, Sweet Christmas, Mon Mothma is breathtaking.
 
I agree Schizm. I always think that guy looks so much like Valorum. And I was thinking it all last night and wishing even more for a Black Series Valorum lol.

I thought the Andor episodes were great. It's very different in tone again, just like the first season. Whereas George Lucas definitely wrote and directed his Star Wars more like fairytales and fantasies with kids more in mind, Andor Season One and Two are much more serious, so well written, and with a more mature audience in mind.

Which is cool. Nobody said everything has to be handled the same in the franchise. It does feel weird watching it sometimes though. Sometimes Andor feels like a non-Star Wars product that just has Star Wars vehicles and troops in it. But so much of it feels VERY Star Wars and capitalizes so well on making you feel the hardships of war against such a near unbeatable, evil opponent.

These characters fighting, just hoping somewhere someday the galaxy will know peace, even if they aren't alive to see it.

Beautiful show.
 
Without getting into spoiler details, one of the subtle things I love about Andor is it zeros in on small things in the overall Star Wars mythology that we take for granted ande makes them scary. A normal person should be TERRIFIED of a TIE Fighter or a lone squad of stormtroopers. I love how it takes what might be smaller stakes elsewhere and makes them a focal point.
 
They got the holonet, we got the truth
They own the senate and we got the proof
We got hella people, they got hella TIE fighters
They got the Death Star and we got, we got

We got Cinta Kaz
We got Cinta Kaz, you better run
We got Cinta Kaz
We got Cinta Kaz, you better run

That is something I really appreciate as well. The reactions of the characters is what clues us in and reminds us, yeah, these things have a massive affect on the people.

I have a coworker who is a star wars fan and he couldn't wait to talk to me today about how slow it was, nothing happens, how awful the Mon Mothma stuff was. I mostly just let him talk but I did say I had a completely different reaction to just about all of it. There was one thing with Bix where I saw his point. But I don't know... The tone and atmosphere of this show, the focus of it, I'm fully down.
