Hasbro has unveiled multiple new Star Wars action figures as a part of The Black Series, based on versions of characters from the comics. The “What If…?” style series called Star Wars Infinites saw Leia pursue a new destiny as a Jedi with a redeemed Darth Vader wearing a white costume.

In these “Elseworlds” versions of the films, the war between the Rebellion and the Empire is won quickly in somewhat simple terms, as each installment stands on its own.
