Galactic Hunter: The easiest and hardest question to tackle was partially answered at Celebration V. As collectors asked whether the Young Boba Fett's Slave I from The Clone Wars animated series would lead to Slave 1 from The Empire Strikes Back, the answer was simple and obvious —'Yes, if it sells well enough.' So there's an additional sales pitch! The question is, hypothetically (aside from paint ops) what changes could/would be made, and what figures (again hypothetically) would the team like to see included? This would be the perfect chance to get a mustachioed Bespin Guard out, or is he going to get the fully carded treatment?

Galactic Hunter: Did all of the children swapping droid parts (and showing off their "kitbash" droids) at the along with the adults offering to buy them do anything to persuade Team Star Wars to put together a little Build-A-Droid/Droid Factory playset? (It can be mostly cardboard even - it's obvious that the droids are the focus and play pattern. That was COOL!)

[Editor's Note: There was no response about even hypothetical pack-ins. We may yet see the mustachioed Bespin Guard wind up on a Vintage Collection card. Then again, which style of moustache would we get? There were several variants.]

HASBRO: We did take both modes of the vehicles (Jango and Boba's ships) into account when we designed the vehicle, so for the most part, let's say 95%, the existing model works great for an Empire Strikes Back version of Boba Fett's ride.  As for changes, there are a few tweaks we would like to make but it's a little too early to speculate since there is a long way to go before we would be able to produce an OTC version.

HASBRO: We have had plans - quite advanced - to do some simple-type Droid Factory playsets at one point but set aside those plans during our struggles with Legacy the last couple of years.  With Droid Factory now being retired (OK, we'll say "on hiatus") there aren't any plans to go back to those ideas right now.
