No, there's no Luke in garbage...yet. :)

But there is a Han in Carbonite, and there are 4 Leias thus far:
white-robed Leia (a *horrible* sculpt that supposedly had Carrie Fisher
ready to strangle Lucasfilm and Kenner), Leia as Boushh, Leia on the
speeder bike, and the Leia of the current discussion.

I'm afraid the newsletter you have is focusing on (an marketing upon)
exactly what you've mentioned: men want the Leia-in-bondage-outfit.
