C'mon Hasbro you got like 4 waves to give us Lando and Mace Windu and not even a full 4 waves since we already know like what 2 of these upcoming waves will be.

Oh, yeah, I'm definitely not holding my breath for any new EU characters or any characters from the Clone Wars animated series. While the Shadow Squadron set was a nice EU surprise, it was most likely a one-time occurrence.

Like you pointed out, there are so many important charcters from the movies who still need figures, and the upcoming Episode VII is going to introduce SOOO many new characters as well.
And even though Aayla had brief appearances in Episodes II and III, there are plenty of other Jedi who are featured more prominently in the movies who I would imagine would get figures first.

Also, now that the previous EU has been basically eradicated to make way for the new Disney-approved EU, and because Disney has largely shown nothing but animosity towards the Clone Wars, those characters have an even smaller chance of ever being made. But, oh well... maybe if the Black series continues well into the new Trilogy, maybe Hasbro will give us a wave of currently out-of-continuity characters. Lol, I'm not gonna get my hopes up though.
