    Although Hasbro has not officially commented on the missing backgrounds for later figures, we can report, based on information provided to us by a few sources, that they have indeed been discontinued for future production runs. The reason? When Hasbro usually does something like this, it has to do with either cost, aesthetics, or both. Some of the figures with backgrounds leaked in the Asian market earlier this year and also shipped to the bigger retailers like Wal-Mart. But since then, the common finds in the early going have been the ones without. This makes the Saga cards with background inserts the harder to find variation.The final Rebelscum verdict: Saga figures with the background inserts are the variants and the cardback without them will be standard production. You decide what to collect.


    Here are the figures which have background inserts:

    01 - Anakin Skywalker (Outland Peasant Disguise)
    02 - Padmé Amidala (Arena Escape)
    03 - Obi-Wan Kenobi (Coruscant Chase)
    04 - C-3PO (Protocol Droid)
    05 - Kit Fisto (Jedi Master)
    06 - Super Battle Droid
    07 - Boba Fett (Kamino Escape)
    08 - Tusken Raider Female with Tusken Child
    09 - Captain Typho (Padmé?s Head of Security)
    10 - Shaak Ti (Jedi Master)
    11 - Battle Droid (Arena Battle)
    12 - Plo Koon (Arena Battle)
    13 - Jango Fett (Kamino Escape)
    14 - R2-D2 (Coruscant Sentry)
    15 - Geonosian Warrior
    16 - Dexter Jettster (Coruscant Informant)
    20 - Saesee Tiin (Jedi Master)
    21 - Nikto Jedi Knight
    24 - Jar Jar Binks (Gungan Senator)

    thanks to rebel scum for the info
