TPM Sidious is on my short list of PT wants, but I would be very happy with a hologram version.

Got my Anakins, popped them open immediately and put them both in the holes on the shelf I've had waiting for them. Feels great to finally complete a display.

That said, they could have used a layer or two of wash in his hair on his clothes. Those are really badly in need of paint, and his hair should be lighter. I can do the clothes, but blonde hair is SUCH a pain. Half of the characters I've painted blonde have gone green, like the water was chlorinated - huh, maybe it was? Hadn't thought of that.

Story trailer for Outlaws dropped. I think it looks pretty fun. I've already seen a bunch of nitpicks about the lack of lightsabers and having to play as a woman (boo hoo), but I think it looks like a lot of fun. I hope it's comparable to the Jedi games in terms of quality.

Excited to see what figures we get for this one too. I'm sure Kay Vess is a lock, but I hope her little buddy Nix doesn't push her into deluxe territory (if they gave us BD free of charge, I'm sure they can give us Nix too). Maybe even a Kay with her speeder. ND-5 feels like a safe bet too, but something tells me they may make him a deluxe.

@joshsquash729 Thank you for posting that. Definitely looks goofy and fun, which some of the best Star Wars is. I really hope they do some figures from it, even if I am not into them. More video game figures, please.

I imagine some nerds are already exploding about another female-led Star War.

Also...I admit I watched the whole thing with an eye out for any Boba cameos

@ru1977  I kept an eye out for cameos too. I'm kinda glad they didn't spoil them, but I think it's a safe bet there might be one or two, aside from the ones we already know about, like Jabba. But since it takes place between Empire and Jedi, I'd love for some of the other bounty hunters- gimme Bossk, Zuckuss, 4-LOM, IG-88, or Dengar. Nothing against Boba, especially OT era Boba, but I'd love to see the others shine for once too.

I don't play video games, but I would watch that show.

@joshsquash729 and I just learned of one not shown in that trailer.

Spoiler
Outlaws character cameo

Qira from Solo shows up apparently.

@panthercult I totally get that. Even the games I do play, I'd still love a show of them. I could never get into any of the Old Republic games but I loved the cut scenes from the Malgus era, and froth a bit anytime LFl mentions movies from the era.

I love that we're getting a game in this era. I will admit I'm more inclined to play games where I get to create the protagonist (I'm more of a KOTOR vibe than Fallen Order, I'm one of those "exactly how many alts have you made in this game? HOW MANY?" players) but I love the idea of playing in the underbelly of the galaxy, that's plenty to get me hyped. Definitely hope that the game will give us some underworld type figures to flesh out our displays. That'd be rad. And I love the design of the protagonist.

I think that might be right at the beginning.

This looks like a good opportunity to bring Dash Rendar back from the dead, too.

Ah man. If they have Dash appear in this game, even for just a few seconds of a cut scene, a lot of us are gonna freak out. I'm not even much of a Dash fan but I really love that kinda stuff anyway. I know some people think cameos and 'making the galaxy too small because you keep seeing the same people over and over' is a bad thing for some reason, but I love it.

I'm right there with you. I play SWTOR regularly, but *only* to record footage to edit together into a full series. 

Kind of weird, but "getting the right shot" is more fun to me than the actual game play.

I'm skeptical about it. Nothing to do with the protagonist or the story. Just the quality of some of these games has been suspect. They took the old old old Battlefront 1 and 2 games from the og XBox, and ruined them. I mean, all they had to do was basically give them a port and polish. Instead they broke them and made them worse then the og ones. When it's better to play the older ones from decades ago then the supposed upgraded versions, there's something wrong. Not to mention, they cancelled the Mando game, but this still got released. I would rather play a mandalorian of any sort then random new person that's basically a Han Solo reskin. So, again, skeptical. Hopefully it turns out great. But I'll be waiting and watching.

Now if it gives us Dash, I'm all for that. But I doubt he's in there. That's just a pipe dream lol.
