    Well, the two Ewok TV movies are technically prequels to Return of the Jedi. Lol

    Although, they’re of course not considered canon now.

    I love those movies...I'd love a Teek figure.

    Haha...True. They definitely wouldn’t have been bold enough to put something like that on television in the ‘80s.

    I remember that guy. Wilford Brimley’s pal! The one that ran really fast.

    It seems like a couple of the villains from those movies had pretty interesting designs, and might make pretty cool figures for the Vintage Collection. Being that they seem to only make non-canon characters once in a great while though, I’d guess that that would probably be a long shot.

    Actually, shockingly missing from toyfair is Baby Yoda. I thought Baby Yoda merchandise would dominate this years Toy Fair.

    I personally think they should be considered canon. What would it hurt? I mean, here we are talking about them today, if that's any indication. The characters were fun and interesting, the movies were actually kind of exciting and the stories were entertaining and even pretty serious on a number of levels. I loved them as a kid, and I've rewatched them within the past couple years with my wife (who loves Teek, to the surprise of no one). Fingers crossed...but not holding my breath.

    I figured it would be more then Disney. Hasbro should of had things like Baby Yoda joins G.I. Joe, Baby Yoda joins the Avengers, Baby Yoda nightlight, Baby Yoda nerf gun, Baby Yoda joins the JLA, etc

    Yeah, I agree. I don’t see what it would hurt. They were always kind of their own thing and wouldn’t really contradict anything else that’s considered to be in-canon, anyway.

    So apparently no “real” CW figures were on display, so I guess that’s why Toyark didn’t cover the event. Still, they’re adding CW to Galaxy of Adventures:

    Ahsoka looks okay, but how did they honestly not get that the Clones’ helmets are supposed to be orange, not red?

    I hope we get more Clones in GOA. That line is very not bad.

    I'm a little disappointed they didn't do a John Ratzenberger face instead of the rando beard-face.

    This is the logic of why they don't make more of these kinds of items. And I get it, cause I thought the same thing, but if we want Hasbro to keep making more, it's best to not wait for these to hit clearance.

    Also if TVC Fives figure is the ARC version it'll be my first 3.75" figure in years.

    It works perfectly for me though because I’m not a collector who is begging for this stuff to come out. I would be just as happy if they went out of business and none of this stuff was made again because I already have plenty to keep me busy. But if they do make it, I’m going to want it...at the price I think it’s worth to me.

    Yeah, I don’t think I’d be able to resist that.
