To be fair, half of Clone Wars is terrible, and not just early terrible, in the unaired 6th season they had 2 episodes about Jar Jar romancing another creature

Hmm, I dunno about this. The only frame of reference I have in regards to model kit faces with Bandai aside from Yoda are Figure-Rise line and the Gunpla Girls line, and they're usually stylized faces. The first kit in the Gunpla Girls line is a particular point of contention for the Gunpla community.
If they can pull this off I'd be genuinely surprised.
Well, their S.H. Figuarts line seems to be able to get it right:

I wouldn't say anywhere near half. I'd still rather watch Jar Jar episodes than the Sequels.

Interesting indeed. But personaly I am fine with Hasbro 6" Black Series for "flesh faces"

I'd also note that most of us are men whose average age is probably mid-40s. This was an animated show on Cartoon Network. The Clone Wars wasn't created just for adult men. Some episodes are intended to appeal to kids and young kids like Jar Jar. Mine did and still do. If it helps them like Star Wars, I can give them that.
The other way to look at it is that there were 121 episodes produced. If even 60 episodes were adult cool, that's pretty good for a show like that.
As for the Han and Luke kits... meh. It's basically a re-pop of the OT stormtrooper kit with a new sprue for the faces. It's likely going to require swappable heads since the way Bandai engineered the helmet there's no way it can be made to fit over a model human head. If I didn't already have a stormie, it would be a cool option, but I'm not going to buy a new kit just for the heads.

"Triaxial Jet Finish"
Interesting tech.
EDIT: Also looks like Luke's coming out first.

Is it just me or did they use the sculpt of S.H.FigurArts Han /Luke and just pop them on regular stormy kit ?

Not quite, since the hair on the Han SHF is more detailed than here.
Based on the promo pics and the picture of the joints on the site:
The joints have been resized. I'd expect Han to a look a bit bigger than the standard kit, and Luke looking to be too short to be a Stormtrooper.

I wonder if they will be able to 'wear' their helmets. Unlike the standard stormtrooper release, they actually have necks.
Come on Bandai, make Sy Snootles instead! :lol

Come on Bandai, make [INSERT ANY SHIP FROM THE PREQUELS, SPECIFICALLY THE ARC-170] instead!

"Come on Bandai, make ANY VEHICLE instead!"
A serious one:
Come on Bandai, make an Imperial Probe Droid instead!
Seem like the figures and vehicles are different lines, but a Probe Droid is not out of the figures line wheel house.

I really want one so my BB-8 is no longer sitting alone on the display, and DeAgos is way to expansive,takes too long to finish and might even not be released over here at my area

Yeah, my 4 year old son watched the phantom menace the other day. He thinks jar jar is the greatest.
As for the clone wars, I just skipped the Droid, jar jar, and padme episodes.
However, whenever I check one of them out, I'm always pleasantly surprised

Another disappointing release. They are cool and all but where is the b wing or TIE bomber!

I agree. Why doesnt Bandai just concentrate on releasing all the main ships from the original trilogy and then move on to figures and the other trilogies.
Instead theyre bouncing all over the place with releasing slightly modified duplicates and stuff.
Im still waiting for a Blockade runner, Probe Droid, Super Star destroyer, and B-wing.
Sheesh.
