1.) I'm a long time Star Wars fan that has been pleasantly surprised and impressed by what I've seen so far of The Clone Wars series, in particular the Malevolence story line. Now, how long am I going to have to wait before I can buy the pilots and colorful astromech droids of Shadow Squadron? -- pod

ANSWER: Some of the pilots will be out next year. No word on whether there will be additional astromech repaints, but that's a very interesting suggestion.

2.) Will all four of the upcoming concept art-based figures for 2009 be from the Prequel Trilogy, or will we see a mix of PT and OT? -- Darth Zirock

ANSWER: There will be a mix of original and prequel trilogy.

3.) Just about all of the Yoda figures from the Prequels have had an action feature of some kind. Any chance for a more articulated, non-action feature Yoda along the line somewhere?

ANSWER: Interesting question. We are planning a new prequel Yoda in 2010 that should meet your interests.

It's very strange that it comes off like they never considered doing a droid repaint for shadow squadron. It seems like such a natural for a two-pack, or as a pack-in for an upcoming Y-Wing, considering they already have that animated R2 mold.
