I got busy working, and it looks like I missed the pre-orders everywhere. I see Kenobi on Amazon Japan, but it says it won't ship to my address.

Kenobi’s on nin-nin-game now, HLJ is sold out and amiami is 11am Tokyo time tomorrow.
3.5 hours from now.

But Nin-nin-game still has him available, along with reissue of Luke.

I checked Amazon JP this morning and the only option that would ship to me was like 5000 yen more. No thanks. I did pay later with Nin Nin

Rumor is that Mafex is making her. There is a forum member here who seems to be in the know and he hinted at her.

Sweet! I'd be happy with her from either line. The more options, the better.

The same rumour-er said (acccurate) Mando Luke and Ahsoka, I’m usually very skeptical of these leaks but I want these characters done enough to hope it’s true.

Let’s all cross our fingers! Either brand making those figures would be great. The black series offerings are fine but the paint deco and articulation don’t do it for me.

So many great prototypes, all MIA since. Grievous, B2 Battle Droid, Snowspeeder Luke, etc.

Well, from what I understand, most japanese are not happy with the direction Disney is taking in any of their franchise. (The Little Mermaid, Tinkerbell, Rey Mary-sue, She-hulk or the substandard quality of some Disney series...)

There was a huge demande for Star Wars at first, but it seems it died down after a certain trilogy.
That didn't even went higher ever again after that.

Let's also not forget that Bandai Namco are the type to just outright cancel prototypes for a line they consider not profitable anymore.

And then, another factor that might be "good news", as long as the figure doesn't suit a certain quality standard, they won't release it. (yeah yeah...I know, Dooku was shit)
This tends to...be less true nowadays though...
