"I really think the idea of LEGO not listening to fans is a case of confirmation biases.  If you look at times when they don't make everything people keep asking for, sure, but there's plenty of times in the past couple of years that they really have made stuff that people have asked for for quite some time.  Just in the past 3-4 years, there's been a number of highly requested remakes, figures, or sets in general being made.\n\n\n\n\t501st BP only happened because of fans, ahem, requesting, it.\n\n\n\n\tThis entire wave of summer stuff is basically going to be everything that fans have been asking for, including Bo-Katan, Gar Saxon, the Armorer, Gideon, and Paz Vizsla.  \n\n\n\n\tLarge version of Cloud City and a Cantina had been common wish-list items for some time now, as well as Ponda Baba, Dr. Evazan, and Garindan.\n\n\n\n\tPeople wanted a prequel UCS, LEGO gave the option in the poll for a ship that people have been clamoring for.   \n\n\n\n\tPeople complained about the prices of stuff like the TIE or X-Wing, they've almost halved the price of both for the latest releases, while still making some very quality builds and including a couple of interesting/rare-ish figures (Dodonna is new, the updated ANH Leia was only in a $200 set, and the protocol droid, while not as exciting for most, was only available in the Death Star).\n\n\n\n\tI do agree, at times, their inclusion/omission of certain figures or characters can be puzzling, but I truly don't think they just ignore what fans ask for.\n"
