September 2007 - Hasbro has sent out an announcement about their Star Wars Saga Legends Spring 2008 Fans' Choice Vote:
Hasbro's Star Wars Saga Legends Fan Voting will be live on starwars.hasbro.com this weekend!
We want your votes! Phase 1 is now complete; Star Wars collector-fan sites around the Web have told Hasbro which characters they want to see brought back as Saga Legends in '08. Now Hasbro's asking the fans to place a final vote for their favorite 3-3/4" figures that they want to see as part of the final Saga Legends wave in Spring 2008!
The top 20 are below, and from these your fellow fans can vote for up to 5 figures. Voting will run for 14 days, and the top 5 vote-getters will become Saga Legends!

1 - ARC Trooper (Clone Wars) red & gray #43 (Saga)

NOTE: There are TWO list changes from last week. The major one is the removal of Han Solo (VOTC) from eligibility because there is a high likelihood that he will be used in another set and will not be available. Instead, the next highest-rated figure, R3-A2 from the Battle of Hoth multi-pack. The Bespin Guard listing has been corrected - it is not possible to vote for "black ethnicity" since no such figure was released. Instead, the listing will be corrected to say "Bespin Guard (Power of the Jedi)"
May the Force be with you...
