Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian
Sam Witwer, voice of Maul - Would prefer out of 2021
Taika Waititi as IG-11
Temuera Morrison as Jango Fett
Werner Herzog as The Client - Would prefer out of 2021

New Additions:

Rosario Dawson as Asoka (per poster's comment about Instagram) - A+

Not Holding my Breath:

Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker. He was bitter after The Last Jedi but hopefully Luke's return as a badass changes his mind.

Additions I'd like to see:

Dave Filoni as Trapper Wolf (Mando)
Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand (Mando)
Katee Sackoff as Bo-Katan Kryze (Mando)
Bill Burr as Mayfield (Mando)

Additions I'd be fine with:

Any of the Bad Batch voice actors. Haven't watched the show, but it would be nice to replace the same few voice actors from the Clone Wars and Rebels.

Love to hear your thoughts!!

I keep hoping for a John Williams.

You can keep hoping til he’s dead. 0% chance he signs again. Even thru the mail is hit or miss.

Funny story (not really, just to me)--I collect autos of actors/actresses from the tv show "Lost". I got tired of chasing these two because it feels like they use the same one or two shots of the actors that I couldn't keep track easily what I had versus what was out there. I simply stopped picking them. Ken Leung is not far behind.

I think you can move Gina Carano from Likely Out to OUT. Topps even scrubbed her Topps Now card out of existence on their Web site.

The wokeness is strong with Topps.

If the rights holder says do it, you do it.

100% a call on Disney’s end.

Kinda sad they couldn't get Keri Russell to sign. That would be a new layer to the Star Wars over pumped autograph list that could draw some interest.

Keri Russell
Bill Burr
Timothy Olyphant
Liam Nieson
Ming-Na Wen
Sasha Banks
John Leguizamo
Jason Sudekis

There is a lot out of actors out there that would make a bunch of people happy.

VinnyH · 11-22-2021, 08:59 PM

Less than 2 weeks away, any thoughts? Should we expect some bigger stars from Mandalorian even if it’s not Pascal?
Thanks,
Vinny

Yeah, besides Dawson. She’s a nice edition but will there be more, even Pascal? Who says he’s out?
Wondering,

I think Burr would be reasonable and a perfect mix of in demand and low cost for Topps but I have little faith in them to get a lot of new big people. Seems like they trickle out 1-3 a year at most but cons and SWAU can get more actors somehow.

Burr would be tricky but he was converted from a anti Star Wars guy to even be in it so there’s hope.

This was pushed back til December 15th.

Have heard Clarke is not the big add to the set, but obviously won't know anything for certain til checklist actually hits.

What new name could they add that would be bigger? Did they finally get Portman? Neeson? Lucas?

Woody Harrelson? He was in Solo.

Mark Hamill's back?

Clemente · 11-23-2021, 12:38 PM

The question is which addition would be considered bigger than Harrison Ford? He has signed a bit recently but his name is still the Marquee.. who would beat him? Would Portman or Neeson considered bigger? Hamill return? I think Lucas would be a bigger name.. opinions?

I think Ford is the biggest name if he's in it, but the biggest "new" name being someone other than Clarke wouldn't include him. Not sure why they'd keep it a secret if they did add someone else but I guess we'll see in 2-3 weeks...

No one beats Ford because his entire career as well.

Portman would sell well but has a floor now based on her SWAU prices.

Honestly if you’re a general auto collector and not card focused you’ll save a ton but if you HAVE TO have on card then you’ll pay thru the nose.

If Hayden is signing as Anakin then maybe James Earl Jones as Darth Vader?

Archangel1775 · 11-23-2021, 08:25 PM

Ford is numero uno. Only George Lucas could rival him
Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones and Liam Neeson would be up there in excitement though.
I could see Jon Favreau or Dave Filoni as nice additions
I am curious what a Kathleen Kennedy would do.

Buying, selling, prospecting, gambling, etc., are parts of the fun. I will say that being older than many here I just can’t justify sticker autos. Give me a nice on-card auto and I feel that little connection to the signer.
