Darkish facet, gentle facet, it doesn’t matter. This 12 months’s Hasbro Star Wars unique at San Diego Comedian-Con is certainly the chosen one, and we’re going to take the excessive floor to accumulate it. Celebrating 20 years of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Hasbro simply revealed a six-inch Black Series set, completely for launch at San Diego Comedian-Con, of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi and their epic lightsaber duel over the lava on Mustafar.

Retailing for $110, the set will first be obtainable at Hasbro’s sales space (#3213) throughout Comedian-Con, which takes place July 24-27 in San Diego, CA.
