What if Kenner had made just one more figure during the POTF run?
What would you have liked it to be?
Personally as a kid I would have loved Han-Stormtrooper, Luke just looked so helpless by himself!

Should of been Tarkin, can't believe they never did a tarkin figure anyway, and yet did figures like imperial dignitary and lobot
Here's where the fun begins.

I would have liked a Han Storm Trooper or Sand Trooper; two more figures for yellow limbs though. A wedge would also have been nice.

You could make one of those though, a hacksaw and a pin
Another one i would have liked would have been a Rebel Trooper from Star Wars.

It really is incredible how Tarkin was never produced considering how a few minor cantina characters were made in the first 20.
Does anyone know if Kenner made any prototypes of Tarkin?

It has to be Darth with removable helmet from end of Jedi.
Had a friend who told me he had one, but his mum was keeping it under the bed! Being 10 years old I fell for it!!

Tarkin wasnt made until the modern figures.
