2019 5POA Wishlist
2019 should be an interesting year. The Solo line is ending now, and the next wave of 5POA figures comes from the latest TV series Star Wars Resistance. That wave should be available sometime early in 2019, but after that, there are a lot of unknowns. Will there be another wave from Resistance? Will there be more figures from previously released movies? Or will there be a break until all of the new Star Wars TV shows (The Mandalorian, Clone Wars) and Episode IX figures likely make their first appearance in the fall? Personally, I'm thinking that there will be a long break after the Resistance wave, but hoping that there will be at least one wave of figures from older movies. After all, that's pretty much what these wishlists are all about!
With that being said, 2018 was a pretty bad year for figures coming from the older movies. Apart from the First Order Gunner, nothing else from the 2018 wishlist was made. The Solo line was good, but was pretty small. There are still key characters yet to be made from that movie, but with new TV shows and movies coming all the time, it makes it hard for Hasbro to go back and make some of those older characters that they have missed. But there is always hope! So with that, here is the 2019 wishlist!

2019 Wishlist - Episode I: The Phantom Menace
In 2018 there were actually two figures from The Phantom Menace made: Qui-Gon Jinn and a second version of Darth Maul. With this being the 20th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, could we see a few figures from this episode? Honestly, I doubt it considering how few figures from the older movies get made these days, but hey, we can always hope.
Top 5
Obi-Wan Kenobi
We now have Qui-Gon, but still need a good Episode I Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Anakin Skywalker
There have been very few young Anakin figures made since the days when Episode I was still new, and there has never been one in the modern 5POA collection.

Padmé
I like the Tatooine outfit, but I would be happy with any figure of her from Episode I.

Jar Jar Binks
Whether you like him or not (I do), Jar Jar has become one of the most well know characters from the Star Wars franchise. From what I've seen, his popularity seems like it might even been on the rise in recent years. Please be brave Hasbro and make a new Jar Jar!

Queen Amidala
The Queen of Naboo wore many different outfits in Episode I, but this one is probably the most well known. So far, the modern 5POA collection that began in 2013 has had zero Padme or Queen Amidala figures. Hopefully 2019 will be the year that comes to an end.

Honourable Mentions: Nute Gunray, Destroyer Droid, Watto
2019 Wishlist - Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Like The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones has received very little attention in the 5POA collection. Many kids have probably never seen a 3 3/4 Episode II figure in stores in their lifetime. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm guessing that there might be quite a few fans out there who would be really excited to have some new figures announced from this movie.

Count Dooku

How has there never been an Episode II Anakin in the modern 5POA collection? The last Anakin we got period was from Episode III in 2013. Six years is a long time to go without a new figure of one of the most important, if not the most important, characters of the prequels.

Padme Amidala
As with Episode I, any Padme would be great, but since the Geonosis outfit seems to be the most memorable, that would probably be the best choice.

Geonosian
They're strange and ugly, but there were thousands of Geonosians who were part of the first battle of the Clone Wars as seen in Episode II. A character like this could be a good army builder for anyone wanting to stage an epic battle with their figures.

Honourable Mentions: Chancellor Palpatine, Zam Wesell, Senator Binks
2019 Wishlist - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
The 5POA line started out giving us mostly Revenge of the Sith figures, but it's been a while since we have seen anything new, and many of the older figures that we do have are starting to look dated and are not up to the quality of the more recent 5POA figures. Updates to major characters like Anakin, Obi-Wan, Darth Sidious and Mace Windu would be nice to see, but there are also a lot of other characters that have never been made in the modern 5POA collection.
Top 5
Padme
It doesn't really matter which outfit, but getting at least one figure of Padme from Revenge of the Sith would be nice.

Chancellor Palpatine
There already is a Darth Sidious figure from Episode III, but it doesn't come from the memorable arrest scene and doesn't really hold up that well among the more recent 5POA figures either. A figure of Palpatine from this duel has not been available in stores in most kid's lifetime.

Kit Fisto
The prequels are full of all sorts of cool looking Jedi characters, but so far, we have not seen many of them in the 5POA collection. Kit Fisto has been a popular alien Jedi since he first appeared in Attack of the Clones, but faced his ultimate battle in Revenge of the Sith.

Clone Trooper (white)
All white Clone Troopers were mostly just seen in the background in Revenge of the Sith, but since there were so many different colored Clone Troopers in the movie, a generic all white trooper might be a good way to start building up a clone army.

2019 Wishlist - Episode IV: A New Hope
It's always nice to have something new from the original movie. Last year there was a new Darth Vader figure that I never found in the Solo line, and has since been released in the Galaxy of Adventures collection. There is also a Stormtrooper in the Galaxy of Adventures collection. It's great to keep these important characters out there, but it would still be nice to get some new characters that haven't been remade multiple times.
Top 5
Luke Skywalker (Medal Ceremony)
We didn't see much of this outfit in the movie, but it's Luke Skywalker. Many of us fans want to have figures of him in every outfit he wore!

Luke Skywalker (Tatooine)
It's hard to believe that with all the Luke Skywalker figures that have been made since 2013 that this isn't one of them, especially since this is one of Luke's most recognizable outfits in the whole saga.

Grand Moff Tarkin
Along with Darth Vader, Tarkin is one of the main two bad guys. We didn't get a figure of him in the original line from the 1970's - 80's, so can we still hope for one today? Seeing as he has now also been a major villain in Rogue One, it makes sense to make a figure of him.

Rebel Trooper
So far we have lots of Imperial troops but zero Rebel soldiers from the original trilogy. These particular soldiers also saw some major action in Rogue One. The heroes can't take on the Empire alone! They need some support!

Sand People
The Tatooine Sand People were certainly memorable characters. I would like to see how one would look as a modern 5POA figure.

2019 Wishlist - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
The Empire Strikes Back seems to be Hasbro's favorite older film to draw figures from. It's always a treat to get a new figure from this movie, and there are still lots of good options left to make!

Lando Calrissian

2019 Wishlist - Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
One of the first things that comes to mind when I think about Return of the Jedi figures in the 5POA collection is that there is still nothing from Jabba's palace! With Jabba's massive Sail Barge coming this year in the Vintage Collection (at least to those who pre-ordered it), hopefully Hasbro will include some of Jabba's gang in the 5POA line to help collectors populate their barge.

We have Luke in a black outfit from Return of the Jedi, but not this one with the Jedi tunic and cloak.

The Force Awakens has quickly become like one of the older movies, in that we barely see any new figures from it. There are still some great ones waiting to be done.

Han Solo (Cold Weather Gear)
This figure was made in the super articulated line a few years ago, but it would still be nice to see it here, and with accurately colored hair. The one 5POA Han that was made in the 5POA line was a little lackluster, so it would be nice to see any new sequel trilogy Han Solo figure.

Bobbajo
This is the first Episode VII specific character that the world ever saw, appearing in a video with director J.J. Abrams. A figure of him could be difficult to make because of his huge pack, but hopefully not impossible.

Lt. Connix
She was also in The Force Awakens, but had a much larger role in The Last Jedi as one of the main Resistance leadership characters apart from the main heroes. Besides, we need a figure of Carrie Fisher`s daughter!

Vice Admiral Holdo
Yes, she's an elegant lady in a dress in what has traditionally been a boys toy line, but Holdo played a very important and heroic role in the movie. Some very vocal people who hated the movie dislike Holdo, and I fear that could sway Hasbro's opinion against making her. I hope that isn't the case. But there is a figure of her being made in the 6 inch line, so maybe there is a sliver of hope!

Temiri Blagg
This boy helped out Finn and Rose on Canto Bight and also had a really great scene at the end of the movie that really stirs the imagination. There are so few kid action figures which is a shame. Maybe a set of Temiri with a Fathier creature would be a good way to get a figure of him out there. Like with Holdo though, the epic complaining about The Last Jedi and his character could hurt his chances of being made into a figure.

Jyn Erso (Scarif)
This is similar to the Jedha Jyn Erso figure that we already have, but on Scarif she is no longer wearing the cold weather jacket that she has on Jedha. If we ever get another version of Rogue One's main character, I hope it's this one. Not that I would complain about getting a figure of her as a child!

Cassian Andor (Blue Vest)
Sorry, I don't know what else you would call this outfit, but Cassian wears it for a while in the movie, and I think we are due for a new, better Cassian figure. Advancements have been made in The Last Jedi line for beard stubble. The older Cassian figures not only look like they have a full beard, they don't even really look that much like the actor.
