Rounding out the main group of Rogue One heroes, it's the pilot! Bodhi Rook is fairly loaded with gear, including a cool blaster and a backpack that actually looks like the gizmo in the movie. You can take his vest off, but the goggles are part of his head. I haven't seen this one in stores yet - so will you want to order yours online? Read on!
Today is the day! StarWars.com reveals Episode 8 title, and now let's all hope this means the packaging templates are being updated as the first stuff will be in your grubby little hands in about 8 months.
This week in Q&A - 3-D Printing, official-style is here via Disney. Is it good, bad, or worth ignoring? The Clone Wars - ended, have they? And C2-B5 - why? WHYYYYYYYYY? Why not?
Also, please remember that if you have a dollar, instead of throwing it in the street you can donate to our Patreon. It's like a PBS pledge drive, only there are no tote bags and no operas. Keep the server lights on, and get Q&A a week early (as available)!
And send in your questions for next week. Read on!
Ad: New stuff! Pre-Order New Hasbro and Funko Star Wars from Entertainment Earth! 6-inch action figures of Baze Malbus and Chirrut Imwe join a new Hikari Ice Storm First Order Snowtrooper from Funko.
Why wait? Pre-order yours today!
This 212th Attack Battalion Utapau Trooper is one of four figures in the Entertainment Earth exclusive 4-pack available now. It sports some of the best battle-damage I've ever seen on a Hasbro action figure, plus it's exactly as articulated as previous Clone Trooper action figures. I love the little chips and dings in the orange areas, plus the dirt and scrapes are no slouch. Read on!
Today we look at Finn! But he's different - this is the one from the 2-pack with Phasma that just came out and you didn't get yet. His jacket is a different color and some details are just a tiny bit different. You know what that means - it's different enough to make you mad. Check it out, and read on!
This week in Q&A - We're going to talk about vehicles. What is a disappointment? It depends on who you ask. And New X-Wings? Well, I'm not optimistic. Timing is important. Especially in Star Wars.

Ad: Meet the Star Wars Kiln Stormtrooper Hikari Sofubi Vinyl Figure. It looks like fine china! The white and blue vinyl figure is limited to a tiny 400 piece run, and is expected to be in stock from Funko in March. Pre-orders are welcome.
Special thanks to Hasbro and their PR team for sending us this first look at Galen Erso, a character from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. (If you haven't seen it yet and consider this a spoiler, a month out, that's on you.) He includes a blaster and a Mouse Droid, which is a pretty nifty extra for those of us looking to populate that Death Star playset. The one we hope to get some day. Hopefully. Well, take a look - we've got a packaged shot and an unpackaged shot after the break.
You might not want another Captain Phasma, but this 3 3/4-inch one is interesting - it comes from Vietnam and not China, meaning we're talking new molds here. The deco is different, the height has changed, and some of the sculpted details were tweaked - but she has basically the same pose and design. Finn's even more interesting, but he's on tap for next week. Read on!
The hard-to-find Princess Leia Organa from the 6-inch line is pretty good. With any luck she'll get a little more distribution later in the year, but for now she's available in an assortment with 5 other new figures that is a little tough to come by. Read on!
Much has been said about his vehicle, but not much of the Imperial AT-ACT Driver himself. My sample can't actually sit in the vehicle - so I'm not crazy about it. It's a decent looking figure with swell paint and a great design, but it's never a good sign when a vehicle's pilot can't pilot the vehicle. Want to see more? Read on!
This week in Q&A - Let's talk Exclusivity. Rights are maybe not the best word to use. Cantina alien variations - are you missing something significant, or is this just a weird memory? and TIE Striker nomenclature - I could use some help on this one.
And send in your questions for next week. Read on!
