Hasbro can take the whole “core characters” philosophy of marketing (which has its merits) and just beat it into the ground with a baseball bat. We’d already gotten three releases of the Kanan figure before this and the one in the TRU-exclusive Ghost multipack is still easy to find in many areas.

I’d rather have seen an Imperial Officer from the training exercises or another cadet like Zare Leonis. It would have been a chance to make another African-American character and expand human diversity within the ranks of Star Wars figures. Maybe we’ll still get him or other cadets and officers in future wave assortments of Mission Series.

Yep, the last thing we needed was another Kanan.
