The Old Republic - potential subline?

[trandoshanhunter]

Sure, I'll be getting a few next year because they look cool, but that's it. I'm not coming here to rant, I just see TOR as a way to rip things off from the other movies in a good way to make tons of money. Looking at the movies, then TOR, TOR kind of lacks the substance and originality.

Then look at KOTOR. It's a lot more original.

I must admit, KOTOR is far more original than TOR... but they still could of improved on the story... amnesia, seriously?

Lol. I had this conversation earlier today. Amnesia seems like a far-fetched idea, but there has been other lame excuses within the EU. And Star Wars is filled with far-fetched ideas; light-emitted solid blades, death stars exploding when there is no oxygen in space...

Personally I found the amnesia highly unlikely at first, but what else could explain the obscure story line. At the end I found it perfect.

aren't there 3 or 4 TOR figures already planned? i'd say that is enough.

Worked for me. At the beginning it's done like a throw-away explanation, just as a way to get the game going without having to delve into too unnecessary back-story. Then later we find out the memory loss was done deliberately with force powers. For a game, I thought it worked pretty well.

I'm surprised they're all single carded. A little multipack would have been the better route.

Don't forget the first TFU figures were single-carded too, then they were put in multi-packs.

But don't forget how different things were in 2008.

[Jcc2224Cody]

Yeah, 2008 was the official Battle Pack and multi-pack year.

[GarvenDreis]

I was more hinting at the fact Hasbro can't afford to make a full wave based on TOR like they could with TFU.

And fans are going to want more than 2-3 figures, so a multipack would have been the better option.
