Oh, but about that Luke action figure... I don't know when the first one ever came out (like if one came out during the movies' original runs), but I got really excited when I heard news that Kenner was releasing a "Bespin Luke Skywalker" figure in 1998. It has him in his cargo jacket outfit, and his hand is removable. That's the earliest one that I know about (and have) and it predates Attack of the Clones by four years.

Yep, You're right there Gaffer man.

But the detail in this figure is pretty cool!

And daddyvader man, you beat me to it.

It was Leia's idea.....I think
