Research Droids Reviews: October 26, 2011 – November 1, 2011

Emperor Palpatine/Commander Vill - TAC - Order 66 (Series 2) (4 of 6)
The Emperor Palpatine/Commander Vill two-pack is unique in the fact that it’s the sole Order 66 (Series 2) set that doesn’t contain a Jedi paired with a clone. Instead, it contains the enactor of Order 66, and one of the leaders of the 501st Legion in a well-developed set that is faithful to the Star Wars: Dark Times comic series.... (read the full review)

Luminara Unduli/AT-RT Driver - TAC - Order 66 (Series 2) (5 of 6)
One of the most exciting things Star Wars fans looked forward to in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith was the Battle of Kashyyyk. If you recall, George Lucas wanted the final battle in Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi to be full of Wookiees, but since he established Chewbacca as a highly sophisticated being, he felt that having a primitive native battle would work against the character development....

Master Sev/ARC Trooper - TAC - Order 66 (Series 2) (6 of 6)
It’s sometimes amazing just how deeply Hasbro will delve into the Expanded Universe to make some new Star Wars characters not seen anywhere else. In 2006, a Clone Wars Adventures: Volume 5 story called The Order Of Outcasts was published and introduced readers to a new Jedi Master called Master Sev.... (read the full review)

Lieutenant Thire/Clone Trooper Rys - TCW [S2] - Screen Scenes (1 of 2)
The opening The Clone Wars television episode Ambush was a greta way to start off the series. Nearly a year after the television show’s debut, Hasbro decided to unofficially commemorate it by releasing two special Walmart exclusive two-packs. The Lieutenant Thire & Clone Trooper Rys set introduces two new clone troopers for kids and collectors who are members of the Coruscant Guard, a battalion of clones that will quickly become fan favorites....

Yoda/Clone Trooper Jek - TCW [S2] - Screen Scenes (2 of 2)
There are a lot of morals in The Clone Wars television show and many of them are quite blatant and not buried as subtext. Yoda’s prolific wisdom transcends beyond the Jedi he has trained and even uses some of his teaching to encourage the Clone Trooper Jek during the Battle of Rugosa.... (read the full review)

Death Trooper [Gentle Giant, Ltd. Web Exclusive] - Mini Busts
Star Wars fans (and especially the purists) were kind of not that interested in the 2009 novel Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber. It quickly became known as the Star Wars version of Night of the Living Dead and many wondered why the Expanded Universe would be allowed to head in that direction or at least be approved by Lucasfilm, Ltd....

Death Star Trench Run - SW [SOTDS] - Exclusive
Let's talk about the elephant in the room and get it over with ASAP. There often are times in Star Wars collecting that we become overwhelmed asking ourselves why certain exclusives get priced the way they do. While we know that it’s retail (and not Hasbro) that sets the prices, it’s ultimately Hasbro actually dictating it because they have to come up with a net price to charge the retailer....
