Never got around to participating in the Collectible Minifigure craze, I'm
admittedly starting from clueless in asking about this, but nonetheless ~
I gotta believe that it would be extremely well-received and eagerly anticipated
if announced. Can’t think of any obvious hindrances in producing it either, considering
several Disney-held IP’s and Brands have been among LEGO lineups for sometime,
including SW. In other words, there’s history and a track-record.
I’d wager such a product would shatter a few TLG sales records. Kinda seems like
a Lego no-brainer, albeit without knowing details. You’re left wondering, when
considering that The Collectible Minifigure Series has been a boon to LEGO sales
since it’s introduction over a decade ago (hope that ideas-guy/gal got their
deserved promotion ) and since then many themes and ideas have been utilized,
yet no Star Wars?
Could it be the marketing folks of TLG, weighing the strengths of products such
as the periodic sales-incentivizing SW minifig polybag and the extremely popular,
recurring SW advent calendar, against flooding that market-space with the far
less costly Collectible Minifigure?
Or maybe it’s the concern that adding SW to the Collectible Minifigure Series
product line would potentially weaken SW set sales, that’s viewed as unwarranted
and deemed unacceptable? After all, if being candid, without the pull of the
characters of that iconic theme offered through the immensely popular “minifig”,
I honestly don’t believe Star Wars would be a viable product line for TLG today,
much less a blockbuster sales/revenue source. In other words, don’t risk sickening
the gold-egg-laying goose with loads of low-cost and perhaps more exciting new
SW minifigs?
Then there’s the limited number of available popularized-through-movie characters
to use. In which case, they could make a classic version instead of contemporary
or new characters? Maybe do a single run. An actual limited edition, not the
“Limited Edition” Lego of the 2000s
Just some curiosity-spawned erratic thoughts, born of an idiosyncratic attempt
to avoid tasks at hand. In other words, nonsensical to some… So then why write
it out? Hey, it’s cheaper than therapy!

Hasbro has aggressively defended their right to be the only seller of Star Wars
action figures. That's why the battle packs have to include some sort of
vehicle.

| I have heard this issue before but that would not explain poly bags like this:
This poly bag was officially sold by TLG and was just one minifig. This would
violate that Hasbro issue if true? Idk
I would love a SW CMF series and I hope the MCU CMF does well in sales so it
will give TLG motivate to make a new series for SW. Especially since all these
new Disney+ SW shows are coming out in 2022! It would be a perfect run off of
the MCU Disney+ shows CMF!

Watch MandR's YouTube video (linked in the article) and make up your own

I personally, as a Star Wars fan, would love some Lego Star Wars CMF series.

I think you are over medicated
|
Says the drug peddler (pharmacist)
Although seeking excuses seems more n’more the way to live one’s life, I can’t
use that one. Haven’t “medicated” in years, beyond the occasional aspirin my
daughter pushes on me. No longer even what’s prescribed for the brain injury
I sustained as a young man overseas.
“Clear your mind, your ass will follow” Not always easy, but well worth doing.
Sadly Kevin, this is the unadulterated me, scrambled brains and all 
Ever your friend,
Cory

| There is already a Star Wars collectible minifigure series, but the figures come
in a box instead of a polybag and sometimes LEGO throws in some extra pieces.

| Whatever floats your boat.
This reproduction has to have value to an elite collector, especially if they
have an original old grey minifig - if anything, it has to be rarer than a genuine.
