Great looking figures andthe headsculpts are spot on, although neither character are high on my want list these are definite purchase for me.

I preordered these today, I wasn't sure if I really wanted them but I figured I might as well get the preorder now and if I change my mind I can cancel them later.

I get wanting to use the 6" size as a platform for newer stuff which may be more "hot" right now, but it really seems like the more iconic characters are little more than an after thought. To be honest, it kind of feels like that with The Black Series in general these days, but the classics are especially getting the short end of the stick with Gaming Greats.
It seems their efforts are concentrated on the Mandalorian. Now, I love the Mandalorian but there's a lot of other properties in Star Wars that I wish would get more attention.

I would buy pretty much anything from the Old Republic games but alas they don't seem to have plans for them. Even with the Jedi Fallen Order there are cool characters who would make good action figures.

I'm glad we are getting a re release of the ROTS Obi Wan but so far it seems the previous two releases had better headsculpts. Rogue One stuff looks good may keep an eye on those. Looking forward to see how the Mandalorian figures turn out.
I would also like to see a rerelease of the obi and anakin revenge of the sith tvc figs.

Agreed. In the 3.75 scale, how many characters have they made from force unleashed, kotor, fallen order games. I know they made starkiller.

I know it's still possible, but I have serious doubts that anything pre-Fallen Order is on their radar right now.
