Star Wars fans have any number of outlets for the collectible addictions, but Funko has certainly contributed many items to the cause courtesy of their POP line. Now they might be introducing a new line of POPs that features Star Wars Legends.

The toy company published a poll on their Twitter account that said "Research time! Out of THIS group, who is your favorite Star Wars Legends character?"

The choices included Dash Rendar, Jaina and Jacen Solo, Kyle Katarn, and Galen Marek/Starkiller. Dash Rendar is a character from the expanded universe, specifically from Shadows of the Empire. As for Jaina and Jacen Solo, they are two of the three children that Han and Leia had in the expanded universe.

Kyle Katarn meanwhile actually got to those Death Star plans before Jyn Erso ever had a chance to. Katarn was the lead character in Star Wars: Dark Forces, and also popped up in the other Jedi Knight games. Galen Marek/Starkiller is known from the popular Star Wars games "The Force Unleashed" and its sequel. He also cameoed in a Soul Calibur game and has remained a favorite even though he exists out of the regular canon.

It would be a great way to introduce some rare characters into the Funko mix, adding even more collectible to their already extensive Star Wars line.

From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, an all-new epic adventure. In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire's ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is directed by Gareth Edwards and stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker. Kathleen Kennedy, Allison Shearmur and Simon Emanuel are producing, with John Knoll and Jason McGatlin serving as executive producers.
