Two separate lines of figures were released consisting entirely of reissued figures: The Episode III: Heroes and Villains collection, consisting of the film's main characters, and Episode III: Greatest Battles sets, consisting primarily of secondary characters. Each basic figure came with a display base as well as a mini holographic figure pack-in. The initial wave of the holographic figures were blue, while later waves were red.
In addition to the pack-ins, the Ultimate Galactic Hunt promotion featured chase figures with special packaging and a mail-away offer for a figure of George Lucas in stormtrooper disguise. The sale of exclusive figures to retailers expanded with Wal-Mart receiving an entire wave of exclusives, primarily consisting of repaints.

All of these were later referenced in other Legends material. The Saga Collection is also the first source to provide a full-body representation of the Yam'rii species.
