2025 marks the 20th Anniversary of Star Wars Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith, and as has been customary over recent years & anniversaries a new logo has been revealed for the 20th Anniversary releases.
If Hasbro follows suit with prior years, we can perhaps expect some Anniversary Releases themed around Revenge of the Sith, what could these look like based on what figures we've had so far and what may be heading our way?
Considering the roles of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in ROTS and the age of their existing figures a revamp or full revisit may be on the cards with Anakin also potentially being valid as an Ahsoka 'flashback' release with tweaks.
We've also seen Palpatine in his disfigured state so far in the Black Series. The 20th Anniversary may present an opportunity for a Chancellor Palpatine - perhaps themed around the face-off with Mace Windu. And this may then lead to some new or tweaked Jedi to battle him - particularly Saesee Tiin, and Agen Kolar to go with our existing figures of Mace Windu and Kit Fisto - the latter also potential figures for revisits in 2025.
Jedi and Sith aside, the Clones of course play a particularly large role in ROTS and Order 66 in particular and we already have confirmation of a 20th Anniversary release of Commander Cody and a general Galaxy Collection slot for Commander Bacara.
They might be joined by some of the other Clones who feature in the Order 66 sequences or afterward - although I suspect most of these will be repacked or updated using the newer Clone Trooper body.
In the 'outside' chance box are a handful of characters who are unlikely to top any fan's choice, but who would make impressive 6-inch scale figures. These include Tarffull, Tion Medon, Mas Amedda, and Bail Organa

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
