There are surprisingly some huge character omissions for A New Hope in the 5POA line. With 2017 being the 40th anniversary of this very first Star Wars movie, could there be a good chance that we will see some of these figures in the coming year? I guess we'll find out soon! Here's my top 5 picks:
Top 5
Ben Kenobi
Still no Original Trilogy figure of Master Kenobi. I for one think that this would be an awesome figure to have in the 5POA line.

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?

Rebel Trooper
So far we have lots of Imperial troops but zero Rebel soldiers from the original trilogy. 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.
