    It can not be Empire ripoff, nowone can copy Empire even if thay wanted .Of course film will be different in many ways, for instance we knew there will be some sympathetic birds on Ahsch-To which will be far more nicer than Mynocks , And sea City (filmed in Dubrovnik) will be as best if not better looking than Cloud City on Bespin.(I guarantee I am from there, I mean near Dubrovnik).:D

    Joke aside I am interested in Snoke, and Amylin Holdo, they are interesting to discover, though Snoke is Emperor and main villain on Duty, and probabaly will not be explored, so it lefts for me to see Amilyn Holdo's character...(Rey's mother suspect).

    DJ (Benicio del Toro )is i am afraid Lando Carlisian/Han Solo hybrid substitute character , ( scruffy looking nerf-herder on duty) so not much to expect to be surprising about him.

    And yes a droids, there will be BB-8 Black version , in the service of First order, that one will be interesting to see how BB-8 looks paintred in Black.( I refuse to use paint shop to see before going to the cinema).

    It might rhyme as it should if it follows the pattern of the saga creator.

    25 times bigger, indeed.

    As Russians would say, quantity is a quality .

    But, at least in TLJ there will be no massive ball that treathens everyone.

    Wait, there was no one either in the Empire Strikes Back.

    I certainly hope Benicio represents more than a replacement for Han Solo, that would be such a waste to the actor. But I have to disagree, I cannot imagine that Holdo is Rey's mother, there's just no visual evidence between them. I do think she'll bring something interesting to the film, if she is used appropriately. Hopefully this film slows down and takes its time. The Force Awakens didn't know when to have its moments.

    I don't know how much The Last Jedi will resemble Empire, I don't know that it matters. It's Star Wars, so I certainly expect a rhyme built into the narrative, but it's certainly no reason to call out others. It seems like when consumers, or fans, get onto boards and social media they would rather have a mirror than an actual person. It's okay to not like The Force Awakens, it's okay to not be excited about The Last Jedi, but it does not make them less of a fan or a person.

    BDT might be a scoundrel but there is 0 need to bring in a Han Solo type.

    He is likely a complication or intermediary.

    There's absolutely no reason to bring in a replacement for Han. Benicio's character will hopefully offer a different perspective, or some new angle.

    They didn't plan on the first leak. That's why the leak was prints of unfolded boxes.

    That Rey figure is awful. Why is her forehead so big?! Outside of that, these are some cool sets. The new Praetorian Guards look really nice, as well as Kylo Ren's TIE. Moreover, this buildable BB-8 is something I definitely want on my shelf.

    Now these are the leaks I was looking for that Pratorian Guard figure looks fantastic as does that new FO scout walker. Also is that the bio hexi what's it with Fin or just what they use tote to Canto Blight.

    Ignore that last part the update has it as a transport pod.

    He was in the last article, so maybe it is a solo figure or in one of the later released sets. That isn't everything for this year.

    Idk, this is just a disappointing wave for me. No Luke or Leia, especially Luke, is a big part of that and the Scout Walker looks pretty bad to me personally. The Resistance Pod is alright, but it looks weird, and BB-8 feels like a wasted space, even if it does look pretty good. I don't mean to be nitpicky, or one of those people who complain about everything, but I feel like this wave could've been better, even if most of them look good.

    I am weirded out by the "praetorian" guard. The figure looks great like it much better than the art MSW shared with us. What troubles me is that the name is based on a historical Roman unit. I understand why outsiders call the praetorian guards because they are similar in that they guard emperors . . . but shouldn't they have a name that calls from GFFA history not ours.
