how many of you would be excited for new characters to come out besides from the animated shows and all the trilogies?

Postby **mongoose12** » Wed Feb 05, 2020 6:07 pm

I'm raising my hand right now lol

I love the idea of exploring new areas of the SWEU and all of the new characters that come with that. Exciting stuff indeed.

I'm all for anything in the expanded universe! Lots of great potential there

If you mean the currently non-canon EU then you're going waiting a very long time. Now if you're talking about canon EU with novels and such - yes I would love some characters from some of the books that are out there and Battlefront II - I'm still impressed they did something for Fallen Order.

Unfortunately, I would have to agree on this point. One can always hope though. C'mon Mara Jade pop

I keep hoping that maybe they will bring her in the new EU like they did with Thrawn.

A Star Wars “Legends” line featuring the likes of Mara Jade, Jacen, Jaina and Anakin Solo would be a lot of fun. Doubt it will happen though. The EU got a little messy, which is why I’m not surprised Disney ended up axing it from canon.

I loved the Mandalorian so much and just a big fan of Star Wars so I would love for more characters

Postby **OtoriKohaku** » Thu Feb 06, 2020 1:05 am

I would love to see some Old Republic pops! Darth Revan, Darth Malgus, Satele Shan, a Republic Trooper, and a Sith Trooper would be amazing!

I on the other hand would want to see some more from The Clone Wars first before SWEU. Ventress, Savage, Spidermaul, Sidious with two sabers and man I can go on and on.

I agree! So much untapped potential in The Clone Wars! I loved that show and can’t wait for the continuation!

So much Star Wars out already. Scary to think this could happen.

I've never seen the numbers but I would guess star wars is already the franchise with the most pops no?

Postby **rexflexall** » Thu Feb 06, 2020 10:49 am

This would be an epic line!

I would think - it's gotta be Star Wars, Marvel, or Harry Potter I feel...

No one ever said there is such a thing as too much Star Wars, I say bring it on!

Postby **digithor** » Thu Feb 06, 2020 3:25 pm

Always happy to see them bring out new star wars stuff.

i think star wars is their most successful line, so that would be a smart move. i also think the popularity isnt there so it would be difficult to sell.

yes very true about the fallen order. really curious if they would try to experiment with one character first and then go from there. I can already picture Darth Malgus 1000 piece just like Qui Gon

Maybe Disney too

These would be cool as con releases! Like how the Boba Fett from Droids was a con release because of the obscurity! I'd love to see some of the cool sith from the expanded universe! Darth Revan? Sooooo epic!

Postby **Funko_boy13** » Thu Feb 06, 2020 11:29 pm

Definitely would love to see a Darth Revan pop along with the Old Republic Sith trooper getting made.

Postby **Hgmaddhatter** » Thu Feb 06, 2020 11:40 pm

We shall see.... with George Lucas in talks with Disney we may see some new movies and all the merch that goes along with it.

Agreed! I'm ready for the onslaught! lol

Excited to see what the Kenobi series has in store for us. I would also love to see some of my favorite characters from Knights of the Old Republic in pop form

Hopefully with the new season of Clone Wars coming out we can get some more Pops from the show. So much potential and so many characters they can pull from just from that show!

Postby **Sarcasticguy** » Fri Feb 07, 2020 10:41 am

I hear there are books planned for the Old Republic era. I wonder if we'll see any previous EU characters making their way back into the lore?

Postby **rexflexall** » Fri Feb 07, 2020 10:51 am

So many cool characters!

Probably only the canonized portions of the EU will be eventually made into pops.

Sadly this true. Not everyone may recongnize certain characters which could lead to less sales.

Yeah and I doubt Disney will even let them produce non-canon characters in the first place.

Oh really? Kind of excited for those then if that is true.
