Otherwise known as how will Hasbro and Lucasfilm get the fanboys (and girls) to shell out more money for a washed up series of movies.

I wonder what Hasbro's gonna cook up for the preview figures for this one.

For Episode I, we had Mace Windu.

For Episode II we had a Clone Trooper, Zam Wesell, Jango Fett, and R3-T7.

For Episode III we had R4-G9, Wookiee Warrior, Tion Medon, and General Grievous.

For Episode IV, I bet we'll get strung out for another group of preview figures. I'm sure Darth Vader. What about Boba Fett? With the focus he was given in Episode II, and the kids' books, he'd make an interesting character. What about Yoda? Or Obi-Wan? Or Bail Organa? All boring characters, and easy to guess, I know. We'll probably get another stupid droid, though, like C-3PO.

Darth Vader and the Emperor. It has to be. They are continuing their reign of terror and fear that started back in Episode III.

    I'm sure there will be a clonetrooper army still so we will probably get some clonetroopers as well. Hopefully we will see some of the specialist clones like the ones we got for RoTS!

    I just found a picture of the special preview Obi-Wan!



    Hasbro has reached new heights with this figure. The Ewan McGregor likeness is amazing!

    Weren't the battle droids the preview figur for Episode one?

    And that Obi-Wan is obviously a fanmade figure.

    The Sneak Preview figure will most likely be Bail Organa or Darth Sidious, as they will have the most screentime in Episode 4.

    Yoda too.

    He HAS to be a main character.

    I'm so excited that, personally, I'd be happy with a piece of carboard with pictures of the toys on them! An early bird special, so to speak...
