“Though he isn’t programmed to speak, towering loader droid NED-B finds other ways to express himself and prove his loyalty to those he deems worthy. Handpicked from the stormtrooper legions for their aptitude and allegiance, Purge Troopers serve the Inquisitorius, hunting down Jedi and other Force-sensitive beings. STAR WARS fans and collectors can imagine scenes from the STAR WARS galaxy with these premium 6-inch scale NED-B & PURGE TROOPER figures. Fans and collectors can display these fully articulated figures featuring a sleek metallic finish and premium detail with multiple points of articulation.”
Of course, you can expect Hasbro to deliver plenty of new figures for Star Wars: The Mandalorian in the coming weeks. Plus, there’s the Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew series on the horizon.ย
Willย The Mandalorianย Tie in Withย Ahsokaย andย Skeleton Crew?ย
Star Wars: Ahsokaย andย Star Wars: Skeleton Crewย are both in the works, and while they areย expected to be more standalone stories,ย Favreau still wants to make sure the shows are all connected. While speaking with BFM TV (viaย Variety), Favreau explained that the new shows will all take place around the same time.ย
“Season 4, yeah I’ve written it already,” Favreau revealed. “We have to know where we’re going to tell a fully formed story. We had mapped it out, Dave [Filoni] and I, and slowly you start to write each episode. I was writing it during post-production. All of it has to feel like a continuation and one full story.” He added, “[Dave’s] doingย Ahsoka, which I’m producing with him. He’s the writer and showrunner on that. To understand what’s happening on other shows….ย Skeleton Crewย all take place within the sameย Star Warsย time period. There’s a lot more things that we’ve got to keep in mind and also stuff that we’ve built up to from previous seasons ofย The Mandalorianย as well.”
