Then again, there's quite a lot of the old SW history that's been retconned at this point (to its detriment, IMHO). That "Rule of Two" thing was all bull$#!t anyway.

I didn't really expect anything else for the new series, considering the way the rest of Saga Legends figures have been as of late (especially the Clone Wars figures). As long as the price is the same as their other 5POA figures, then I see no reason to complain. Those are intended to be the "hook" for little kids who will watch the show, anyway.

I kind of hope Hasbro does that too, in keeping with their new 2-pronged strategy. But since I've got no idea about the show yet, I really don't care that much about the toys. I could end up watching Rebels well after it's off the air, similar to what I will eventually do with the second Clone Wars series (still haven't watch any since the first ep.).

I'm trying to stay optimistic, but Hasbro makes it so hard sometimes, with their increasingly bad decisions.

I think the new 2-pronged strategy is a much better approach than the old "balancing act" method, which was hit-or-miss. At least with the new strategy, we have lines in the sand, so to speak. My only concern is that some characters may be stuck on one side of the line or the other, which would suck in some cases.
