Rise of Skywalker recently came out in theaters as the end of the Skywalker saga and a 40 year storyline that is a huge part of basically everyone's childhood or life! Everyone has their opinions on the movie and the sequel trilogy as a whole; I thought the new movie was fun but definitely had some issues; however, I'm not here to talk about the movie (kind of). I'm here to talk about toys! Zorri, a Knight of Ren, and the Sith Jet Trooper have all been made from my previous list, so I'm already here to make a third list of my top 5 most wanted Star Wars Black Series Rise of Skywalker figures! Having seen the movie, I can make this list much more informed, though of course, watch out for SPOILERS for the movie, that is a solid SPOILER warning. SO with that out of the way, here is the list!

5. Poe and Finn
I'm putting these two together because I feel like they can really be put together. these two characters are known as a duo in the films, and Im very surprised that these two did not receive new figures for the final film in the trilogy! They're part of the core team of heroes for this series, and I think that Rise of the Skywalker is the best that these two characters have been! While they do tend towards the more boring side of action figure designs, I'd still love to have the set of ROTS core heroes for the shelf.

4. Lando Calrissian
I loved Lando in the original trilogy, but sadly Lando really did not offer much to the new film. It was fantastic seeing this character back on the screen for the final Star Wars film in the Skywalker series, and though he did not do much in the last film, and I think that it is a crime that he does not have a figure to celebrate the character's return! It would also be awesome to have a set of the four main heroes from the original trilogy all as the older forms as themselves.

3. Dark Rey
The dark side version of Rey was included on my last list as well, and after seeing the movie I can say that this version of Rey was really nothing in the film. She appeared for a split second in a vision, with truly minimal screen time, though characters like that do seem prime for Star Wars action figures. It would certainly be a cool version of Rey to have as an action figure, a very different version, and as it stands this is the only version of Rey not to have an action figure in the Black Series line.

2. General Pryde and Palpatine
Grouping the two main villains of the film together, each were fun to have in the new film and would be great toys to have. While I would have liked for the film to just make Hux serious again as he would have easily been able to fill Pryde's role, Pryde was still an intense, frightening general in the First Order who could easily reuse the body mold we already have in place. The big one would be Palpatine, the probably star of the new film in all of his disgusting, horrid glory. While both versions of him would be great in figure form, I would really like his re-powered form with the red robes.

1. General Leia
The tragic passing of Leia's actor meant that the film had to get creative in how to implement her into the film, and I think they did a good job. Leia's final scenes in the movie were touching and showed how great of a character she was. It is an absolute crime that she isn't getting a figure right now to celebrate her character's final appearance in the films, but hopefully there are a lot more Leia figures coming in the future, and one of her final film appearance is definitely the want I want most.
