1/6 Why no love from Hot Toys for Rogue One, Cassian, Baze and Saw Gerrera ?

Re: here for his thread.



Do you have a source, citation, quote, link for that, thanks!


Absolutely, when R1 showcased the Yavin base, it felt like the A New Hope camera just suddenly turned in a different direction, this franchise came to life again.
Don't know if Andor Rebels will be stationed on Yavin, Dantooine, or somewhere new, but I love seeing more of this era's Rebels.

Honestly (although people joked about it) I wished the Rogues had their own trilogy , laced between the OT.
R1, then 2. between ANH and ESB the Ord Mantell incident, spy mission and chase which leads to their ensconcing into planet Hoth. Then 3. between ESB and ROTJ obviously the Bothan Spy incident, recruiting them, and their sacrifice. Making (the non Jedi focused war arc) lost Rebel Spies and Rogues, it's own trilogy.
Don't know how much of those gaps were covered in ancillary material, but done right, would have made terrific film content.

THIS !! Thinking about how the Lost Stars novel worked giving us a different viewpoint from Imperial side on known events, and also to an extent what Filoni did with the final episodes of Clone Wars dovetailing in with events of Ep3.

It'd be excellent to see from a rebel perspective. Rogue Squadron would be better placed where you suggest imo. Dealing with their own struggles with the known events coming from their perspective. Would be pretty cool I reckon.

If saw is in the cassian show, then I would guess two tubes would be with him.

That would awesome if Hot Toys were to release Two Tubes. A most wanted figure. (where's Wor-Gar?...)

The real suicide squad

I do agree with @Khev 's assessment of the ending, but I still wish at least Jynn escaped, since I felt so bad for her in that she was killed by her father's weapon; but of course that's probably part of the intended feelings.

Feeling bad for her is what makes it a better ending IMO. No way she could have escaped anyway.

I know they had to wrap up any loose ends before ANH, but it was a shame Jyn had to die.

She lives on with my three Hot Toys.

The next worst thing about the ending is that it looked like it was taken too closely from the end of the film, These Final Hours.

The similarity is so strong it diminished the impact too.

TWO-TUBES!!!!

BEST Star Wars alien design of the last 30 years!

Been in Rogue One... been in Solo... likely will be in BOBF and Obi-Wan.

So when's he coming?

Pretty sure Howard said he'll be right after the Poe Dameron/Zorii Bliss combo pack release...

I agree it was a shame that she had to die. But it was so refreshing to finally get a "good" Star Wars film, especially because there was no childish humor added, that the film is one of my favorites in the SW series. Throw in the fact that it was rather dark and not cutesy and it won me over immediately. I actually stood in the theater and clapped as the credits rolled...

One "thwak" for each "tube"...

 

[GhostBeard]

If HT does release Baze, any thoughts of a Chirrut rerelease?

Deleted RO dialogue between Cassian and K-2SO while escaping Jehda & seeing Two Tubes' body being catapulted into space:

Cassian: He flies now?
K-2: He flies now.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Two-Tubes escaped Jehda in his secret starship, the Slave Two.

(Now called Starship 2)

 

[Mondragon]

...

Besides Cassian, Bodhi, and Saw, others I'd consider ....will never happen.
The Tube Bros.

What, he escaped alone? What about his bro?

Although they didn't show it, I do like to imagine a lot of Saw's partisans got away on ships, including the Tube Bros., Moroff, and the character played by Warwick Davis...

Not sure why Saw chose to stay, seemed consumed by paranoia, and with the fight out of him, I guess he felt he'd finally passed the dream to Jyn.

Exactly that's what they call "Stakes" far better than a "and they all lived happily ever after" imo

 

[Hoody999]

What, he left his bro?

That reminds me I still need to finish my custom.

With a bit of luck my procrastination will be rewarded with a Hot Toys version !

Yep, indeed!

Someone should photoshop these guys into that WWI pic from Wonder Woman lol.

Different war, but would love to see this scene staged with 1:6 R1 figures, if they ever made all of the main Rogues.

 

[The Buffinator]

Scratch that earlier photoshop request - that pic of the Two Tube Twins totally looked black & white when I viewed it on my phone. But then I was wearing sunglasses at the time.
