Thanks for participating in nominating the seven finalists in Hasbro’s first Fan Choice for Star Wars: Black Series. We were told there’d be six, but I’m guessing the results for the nominations were too close to call.
They are: Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi (A New Hope), Lando Calrissian (The Empire Strikes Back), Darth Revan (Knights of the Old Republic), Sabine Wren (Star Wars Rebels), Gamorrean Guard (Return of the Jedi), Snowtrooper (The Empire Strikes Back), and General Grievous (Revenge of the Sith). It’s a very nice representation across the movies, video games, and animated series.
Vote for the Fan Choice for Star Wars: the Black Series on StarWars.com! Poll closes on July 10, when results are announced at San Diego Comic-Con. Who is your pick? (I’m going with Lando.)

Voting for Lando or a Snowtrooper is pretty much throwing your vote away, because if the line continues at all, those are pretty much a lock anyway. Might be nice to get Sabine in there and actually have a decent female figure in the Star Wars line, or Ben Kenobi. It feels like there are a lot of figures they’d want to make before Ben.
Darth Revan is somehow destroying everyone…is this like the ML Fan Poll that AOA Sunfire won?
bok bok
choanata I don’t necessarily ascribe to the “wasted vote” line of thought, but it looks like most voters do. Lando and the Snowtrooper are bringing up the rear, with only the Gamorrean Guard with less of a share of the votes. that one actually surprises me – I would have throught the Gamorrean Guards, with their very unique look, would have more appeal.
djblizzard I think there’s a strong desire for the Black Series to branch out past the core movies, if the top two runaway choices are any indicator. Sabine from Rebels is a strong second, but I don’t think she’ll catch up to Darth Revan.
of the rest of the field, only “old man” Kenobi has broken into the double digits as far as his share of votes, but only barely.
SamuRon djblizzard Makes sense, but I’m starting to worry about the line lasting much longer and a lot of important characters never seeing the light of day. And say we never get Lando, but have Darth Revan. As cool as the character is, he’d be pretty lonely next to the OT and Prequel figures. If this ends up being our only shot as certain OT characters, I’d be pretty bummed.
