A Look at Hasbro's "Final Jedi Duel"

Even as the Battle of Endor is raging in the cold, star-speckled blackness of space -- its explosions visible through the panels of the transaparisteel window of the Emperor's throne room -- a far more climactic and destiny-changing battle is being fought in the dark and austere chamber at the top of the second Death Star's observation power. It's the ultimate confrontation in the Classic Star Wars trilogy -- the clash of lightsabers and wills between the Jedi-turned-Sith-Lord Darth Vader and his hastily-trained but powerful son, Luke Skywalker. Watching them eagerly from beneath his hooded cloak with his yellow eyes and evil leer is Palpatine, the scheming Sith Lord who craftily wormed his way from sectoral Senator to the Supreme Chancellorship of the Old Republic and transformed that dying democracy into the militaristic Galactic Empire.

Hasbro's penultimate (sequence-wise, that is) Cinema Scene three-pack, Final Jedi Duel, has everything a Star Wars fan (and collector) looks for in these multi-figure dioramas: an interesting scene, nicely detailed and posed figures, and action...and you can't ask for more dynamic action than this father-and-son, Sith-vs.-Jedi duel.
