Boushh's bounty Chewbacca but the cardback shows him on Endor?

Maybe the Stormtrooper but no need for any of the others. No creatures from Jabba's Palace? No new Rebel Pilots or Leia in her Jabba the Hutt killing outfit with cloak.

We're still asking why Disney ERRR Hasbro won't make Slave Leia?

Hmm, I can't quite tell if they made a new helmet sculpt for the Stormtrooper to better match the ROTJ helmet as opposed to the Mandalorian/Rogue One helmet the original use and several reuses had. It doesn't really look to me like they did.

We should never have expected to get that Leia in this retro cardback assortment because that toy didn't exist in the original line. There wasn't a toy for that outfit until '97 in the Power of the Force line and all of these are sourced to the '83-'84 figures.

Ewoks have had a pretty good comeback... I remember everyone hating the Ewoks back in the day... and now people like them a lot more.

Compared to what was to follow decades later, Ewoks ended up not being the worst thing to happen to the franchise.

"Muh empire defeated by teddy bears!"

The Emperor never suspected them, like the Jedi not suspecting the very suspiciously created Clone Army. It's like poetry; it rhymes.

The Emperor was overconfident, as were the Jedi. The Battle on Endor is based on the Vietnam war, where better equipped US soldiers were unable to defeat the VietCong. The Clone Wars cartoon series went into more detail as to why the Jedi trusted the Clone Troopers, but the main reason was because they fought side by side with them for years. They did have their suspicions though, as shown in season 6.

The Ewok controversy was supposedly a reaction by fans angered by George pandering to young female audiences, making what were supposed to be Wookiees into cute teddy bears.

an early precursor to today’s anti “Woke” reactionaries.

Ewok is also an anagram to Woke.
