    Points of Interest:
  • Darth Vader is a repack of the figure from 2005's ROTS Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader Evolutions set. This time around, the figure has a 2-piece removable helmet.
  • Originally, this figure was to include a 3-piece removable helmet (dome, mask, and breathing apparatus). However, the sculpting wasn't done in time, so it was switched to a 2-piece instead. A 3-piece removable helmet is now unlikely to ever be released.
  • This figure contains an extra "Droid Factory" piece to Build-A-Droid. This figure includes R7-Z0's head and middle leg.
  • This figure has also been found in TLC wave 3, with the head of 56D-RA-7.
  • This figure has also been found in TLC wave 4, with the head of MB-RA-7.

    Poll
    George Lucas has announced he's done making blockbuster feature films after Indiana Jones 5. He states that one of the factors that weighted heavy on the decision was the negative comments made by fans. The Probe Droid is curious what you think about that.
    We didn't mean it! Please make more movies!
    Boo. I don't like that at all. More movies please.
    We got six movies that tell the full tale. I'm happy.
    Good for you George! You've earned it.
    Thank goodness!
    I don't see the irony here.
