What if?

Here's why -

Kenner were desperate to get sales up in 1985-86 but LFL vetoed a bunch of their ideas (namely producing toys that took the story way beyond the Battle of Endor).

Tarkin was, at this late stage, proposed - but never made. Interest was dying off and Kenner cut their losses and moved on.

There's some cool "what-ifs" in this employee presentation - and a few horrific shite-piles that we should be grateful never happened...

Here's a link to the Toys R Gus section:

I'd have loved....

Vader removeable helmet
Rebel trooper
Tarkin
Han Stormtrooper
Sand trooper
Garindan
More cantina creatures
oola
Slave leia

Can't believe no one said that last one.

You can make one from a Hammerhead and a Squidhead with 4-Lom's bib!! Is his head made out of the US trash compactor monster?

It actually does look pretty smart, quite an interesting story line too.

Looking at the vintage Leia's produced during the 80's I can't imagine they could have made her sexy!! The Leia Hoth in a bikini is a scary thought
