INTRODUCTION:
Bravery. Skill. Loyalty. These are defining characteristics of the starfighter pilots on both sides of the conflict at the Battle of Endor. Whether they are Rebels or Imperials, these elite pilots are all focused on the same goal: victory. They are deeply aware that they are deciding the future of the galaxy, and will do everything they can to complete their mission. Set 1 of 2 includes; Lt. Oxixo TIE Fighter Pilot, Sila Kott (Red Two) A-Wing Pilot, Lt. Ekelarc Yong (Gray Three) Y-Wing Pilot and R5-P9 (Ekelarc Yong's Astromech Droid). While set 2 of 2 includes; Major Mianda TIE Figher Pilot, Palso Thern (Blue Seven) B-Wing Pilot, Grizz Frix (Red Five) X-Wing Pilot and R2-T7 (Grizz Frix's Astromech Droid).

It is nice to see that Hasbro has not forgotten the fans of the Original Trilogy or in this case ''Return Of The Jed'' since ''The Clone Wars'' is in the spotlight with the newer generations of Star Wars fans. The TIE Pilots are using the same ''clone'' head as previous TIE Pilots. You would think by the time of ''Jedi'' there probably would not be any clones left to fight. Then again when you think of toys, this is a way to go to bring these figures to the shelves. All of the pilots are new pilots, sure they may use pieces from other pilots but that is ok. It makes me wonder if we might see any newly deco classic, original trilogy ships soon. 

With the fight that is about to come to an end for the Empire, these two pilot packs are a great addition to any Star Wars action figure toy collection.
