First off, we only know two official characters. So as a reminder, this is all just speculation from MC’s brain.
We know of two characters, Greedo and a Tusken Raider. We also know that the set will be based on the Star Wars: A New Hope.
Now for what I want/think should be part of the set.
Jawa
Jack Purvis and others
If we have Raiders we should also get a Jawas. This could be the triple for the case! Imagine an army of these guys. (Unless they come out as Jr.’s which would rock even more.)
Aunt Beru
Sheila Frasier
And think, there could be a “on fire skeleton” variant! (I was gonna add a pic of that scene, but it’s still pretty horrific.)
Uncle Owen
Phil Brown
Also treated to a similar fate, but good for a set.
Luke Skywalker (X-Wing pilot)
Mark Hamill
We have him as a novice Jedi, how about the outfit he spends the last half of A New Hope in.
Prisoner Princess Leia
Carrie Fisher
Again, lets see her as we first saw her, in flowing white robes.
Grand Moff Tarkin
Peter Cushing
The guy who really seemed like the antagonist in the first movie. He actually tells Vader what to do!
Wedge Antilles
Denis Lawson
One of the few Rebellion pilots to make it through all 3 movies. This guy is very very lucky.
Biggs Darklighter
Garrick Hagon
An old friend of Luke’s that joined the Rebellion as an X-Wing fighter.
Porkins
William Hootkins
Big guy. Dead Guy. Poor Porkins.
Mon Mothma
Caroline Blakiston
One of the biggest political figures in the Rebellion.
Admiral Ackbar
Timothy M. Rose
The leader of the fleet that attacks the first Death Star. He knows when something is good, and when “It’s a trap!”.
From a marketing standpoint this would be brilliant. Think of all the University of Mississippi students who would want one!
Any random cantina guy
There are a lot to choose from, but they would help fill out the set. (Yes, I know his name is Pondo Baba. I say random because there are several creatures in the bar that they could use)
Gonk
I didn’t have any robots for this set, so how about the much maligned Gonk. He’s a robot, that looks like a trash can. How cool is that? No, seriously. Is that cool?
Chaser- Original Jabba
This is what Jabba looked like before he was cut in the original film. Lucas later went back an covered over him with a CGI version of the Jabba we all know.
And then hopefully they will release some LE sets. Muppets 2 had them, why not Star Wars 2!
Sandcrawler 9″/Jawa 3″
I like when size matters. This would be a perfect set.
Cantina Band 3″ set
They all look the same, but this would be a great set for accessories. If they can make the 6 piece Kitchen Kabaret, then this would be similar.
Death Star 9″/
Tie 3″/X-wing 3″
This would be epic. I think they should totally do this (but this would be the only way I’d want to see vehicles done. None in the normal set please!)
I left out Han, Chewie, and Ben because they would look the same as series 1. (They don’t have a large selection of wardrobe.)
Who would you like to see as part of this set?

sorry to be a debbie downer but Admiral Ackbar wasn’t in A New Hope. He led the attack on the second death star in Return of the Jedi.
Darn, I thought I was doubled checked (I almost added Max Reebo’s band lol) Thanks! – MC
no worries. i think all of us are eager for an Admiral Ackbar vm!

I am so happy you chose to include wedge, as my personal favorite character I believe most people don’t give the credit that he deserves. I can only dream he would actually make it into the set but if it does….
OK here are some more ideas: Tie fighter pilot, Rebel Trooper, Limited edition 3-pack of Luke and Han as Stormtroopers with Chewie in cuffs, Award ceremony Luke, Sandtrooper, Limited edition Dirty R2 and C-3P0 with 2 Jawa Jr. VM’s. I love when Star Ware meets Disney!
Don’t remember Mon Mothma in Episode IV either, thought she was first seen in ROTJ… Agree with having a Tie Fighter Pilot & Rebel Trooper, what about a Ponda Baba with removeable arm? Oh yeah they already are removeable!!
Yep, checked with my experts and they agree. She was in Episode 3 and 6.
Thanks for the catch!
To bring up an old topic this set needs a RED R2 unit. The one that blew up in a new hope!
