The information went unnoticed by LEGO fans, and for good reason it does not concern us: The official packaging of products derived from the Star Wars saga will change during the year 2013.
Yoda will disappear in favor of a very vintage Darth Vader which will therefore come to dress the boxes of most manufacturers including Hasbro.
LEGO has already confirmed that its Star Wars product line will not be affected by this change of dressing.
But there remains a major problem to solve: This change in visuals was motivated by the release at the end of the year of Episodes II ( Attack of the Clones ) and III ( Revenge of the Sith ) in 3D in cinemas.
However, we now know that Lucasfilm has canceled the 3D release of these two films to better focus on the future Episode VII.
It can also be assumed that Disney prefers to focus on developing the saga rather than capitalizing on the relative nostalgia of fans for episodes II and III: The 3D conversion of Episode I The Phantom Menace , even if it remains a financially profitable operation, did not meet the expected success.
In short, all this to tell you about a change that does not concern us and that may not happen.
