Coverage will be streamed live on the Front Page.

I can't wait! I wonder what this poll is all about?!

I can haz Deth Starz?

Don't forget, we'll have pictures from the panel later on today!

I cannot wait! Also did they show the AT-ST by chance?????

Sweet Effin' Jeebus. There's just too much awesomeness coming out of Hasbro at SDCC this year. I've already have a check list of G.I.Joe, Transformers and now Star Wars Product.

AT-ST for the MTW!

Man........I WANT THAT AT-ST NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I retired from collecting SW stuff but now I must rethink my decision. I just wish the price point was not so high......sucks bad. If anything I will have the AT-ST and a few figs from Jedi.

Jacen Solo?! Is that a Jacen Solo figure I see?!

I do believe so:D

Magically delicious, Eh?

Sorry if there were any names not included on the Front Page article. I did my best to include all that were there...so if you see any there that weren't named, please feel free to call me out on it so I can fix it! :D

The gods have answered my prayers. Now I won't have to make my own Jacen figure.

All they need to make now is a Jaina figure and a Ben Skywalker one. Possibly a Tenel Ka one also.

Good luck to all the Star Wars collectors out there. That's a lot of neat swag to get!

I know Jacen Solo is popular in the books, but how did he become popular?

Cause he's a god? Thats really where he became popular...from the books. He was the main character of the 9 part Legacy of the Force series. (Which, btw, is a GREAT series for any Star Wars fans...I highly recommend it). If you dont plan on reading the books, then you can check out his article here (i only suggest reading that article if you dont plan to read the books because the article gives away everything about his future...i read the article first and i really wish i hadnt.)

There's probably several reasons, though the most likely is because he is very similar to his grandfather, Anakin.

Jacen is almost like a mix of Luke and Anakin, in that he's a fraternal twin (along with his elder sister Jaina) like Luke. He also became a Jedi Knight and got married with a child before he fell to the dark side of the force like Anakin. He also was is fall, as well.

But that maybe reading into it too much. It may just be because....

Spoilers coming in

he became a Dark Lord of the Sith, known as Darth Cadeus. Sith Lords are always popular when it comes to Star Wars characters.

Younger sister. Jacen is older than Jaina....by like 2 seconds.
