That's expressing some pretty strong sentiments against ST.
I've loved ST and SW so I don't know why everyone should fight over
this since they are quite different in concept.
Just like Disney re-releases their movies every 7 years or so to bait
another generation who hasn't seen them on the big screen especially.

Recently in a Walmart ad here in Brantford,Ontario they showed a
picture of Leia in Slave outfit.  Went there but there was no figure to
be found.  So therefore judging by the picture, yes their will be a Leia
in slave outfit.  I think she is in the next shipment of new figures.

forever, perhaps someone else will, but a quick example is that it
