    I agree Mickey! The Prequels were 2-hour toy commercials! Disney Star Wars movies may be better with original cast back but I think only Luke will make it past Force Awakens as new Obi-Wan Kenobi. Harrison Ford and even Carrie Fisher may be doing this one more movie as a favor to George Lucas to give Han and Leia a proper sendoff and hopefully happy one! *Remember Harrison thought Han should die in Return of the Jedi.

    I will attend Force Friday just to see the new stuff. *This reminds me of 1999 Phantom Menace GLUT of toys and figures price increasing from $5 to $7 with the CommTech chip voice samples gimmick! And Jar Jar Binks and peg warmers like Ric Ollie!

      I'm not excited at all.
      Maybe I'm getting too old for these things...
      And a voice in my head keeps telling me: These aren't the toys that you are looking for!

      But I have a good feeling about this:
      I bought some Disney stocks a while ago and they are doing great (currently at +136%).

        The BB-8 droid toy will be the main attraction.

          My two sons are kind of excited, and I'd much rather see Star Wars toys on the shelves than the crap I'm seeing anymore.

            The app controlled one? Yeah, that got my attention.

              Yes.

              There are two different models. The app one is the $150 version. The one that Target will be selling is the physical remote control version for $80...

                I'd much rather have the quadcopter Millennium that thing looks awesome and who doesn't want to fly that?

                  Check the new and improved Millenium Falcon...

                  Earlier today, as the grand finale of their live global toy unboxing event, Lucasfilm and Hasbro revealed their new Battle Action Millennium Falcon. Special-edition figures of Chewbacca, the droid BB-8, and Finn (played by John Boyega in the film) are included with the ship, which looks like it can run circles around the original Millennium Falcon toy fans may remember from their childhoods. Here are five improvements to the new Falcon toy — which might also offer some hints about the ship’s revamped appearance in The Force Awakens.

                          I'd kind of like a new lightsaber with the two blades down near the bottom.

                            Well, I hit my local Wal-Mart tonight at midnight. I wasn't planning to, but I couldn't resist. It was lame. Maybe 10 people, and easy to get anything you wanted to get. I wanted to see nerds choking nerds for that soccer ball droid. Anyway, I came away with the new 6" Black Series, Stormtrooper, and it's rad. I am not going to go crazy buying the new toys until I know I love the movies. I bought some of the Episode 1 toys when they came out, and couldn't get rid of them fast enough once I saw the movie. I loath the prequels.

                              I loath the prequels more than Zira loathes bananas.

                                I went to K-Mart this morning, like 10 minutes ago, and picked up a 6" Black series Kylo Renn and First Order Stormtrooper for my two boys, they can fight over them.

                                They also had a Finn and Chewbacca that I left on the shelf.
