Luke’s Ready for the Endor BBQ

One thing shown off at SDCC that I forgot to mention was this incredibly dark Star Wars playset of Luke burning his father’s corpse. Now, this isn’t an official toy, but Hasbro had a little sign next to itasking if you, as a fan, wanted to see this toy made. Some say yes, some say no, but I say I like Darth Vader figures, and I like them even better when they’re on fire. (Via Rebelscum)
