First salvo of questions answered. As reported last week, Hasbro's Star Wars Brand Team was looking for feed back from YOU the fan. Three excellent questions were selected for submission, and as promised, answers have been delivered. Read on and be sure to submit new questions for answer next Friday HERE.
Q: Darth Vicious wrote:
"What is the status of the Unleashed line of figures? I know the latest wave with Han as Stormtrooper, Chewie on Kashyyk and the Clone Trooper was released. Word had it the Unleashed line was cancelled altogether. Any chance of a 'Greatest Hits' re-release of a few favourites, such as Darth Maul or Boba Fett? How about some sculpts based on 'Episode IV - A New Hope'? Please just don't let this line die. I much prefer it to the 3" figures. Thanks."
A: "We will re-release a selection of classic Unleashed figures in the fall with four exclusive figures - two figures at Wal-mart and two figures at Target - in an all-new tube-style packaging. Boba Fett is one of those characters."

"With next year being the 30th anniversary of the birth of the Star Wars franchise, can we expect anything from Hasbro to commemorate the release of the first Star Wars Movie? If you are, can you give us a taste of something you may have in mind?"
A: "Yes! Stay tuned for details in the coming months."
Q: JeffS wrote:
"With the awesome addition of Kir Kanos, how far does Hasbro plan on carrying on the Star Wars Expanded Universe theme? Plans for any vehicles? When can we expect them?"
A: "Both vehicles and EU will be an important part of the line in 2007."
