Rumor Report: New TVC & tbS Exclusives Follow Up

Last week I posted word of a handful of potential exclusives coming from Hasbro in late 2020. Today I can publish 10 hints to aid in your speculation.

For this group of 5 exclusives:
None are clone characters
None are Jedi/or former Jedi characters
None are members of The Ghost crew characters
None are PT characters
None are OT characters
None are ST characters
One item is TVC
One figure is an alien
One is a vehicle
Two items have never been released by Hasbro before
All five are related by their source material

As I mentioned in the previous report, it will be interesting to see how these are distributed due to the cancellation/closure of large venues.

The Clone Wars: An Ending 12 Years in the making

Today officially marked the end of The Clone Wars and it did not disappoint and it exceeded expectations for most. When we were younger, we always wanted to know what happened during The Clone Wars as referenced by Obi-Wan Kenobi in A New Hope and now we have our definitive answer through amazing storytelling, visuals and music. The series came a long way in not only effects but in how fans received the show and in the end, cemented itself as an essential part of the Star Wars mythos.

Thank you Lucasfilm, George, Dave, Kathleen, the entire production crew and cast, and Disney+.
