Taking a cue from Russian hackers in last year's U.S. presidential election, Kieron Gillen has successfully used the internet to rally voters to make Doctor Aphra the next action figure in the Hasbro's Star Wars Vintage Collection.

At the time, Aphra was running neck and neck with Ahsoka, but after Bleeding Cool have Gillen's tweet a signal boost, it looks like Aphra came out on top, though Gillen is playing it coy:

It's a good weekend for Kieron Gillen. Not only is his character getting made into an action figure, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, in which he reprises his role as Nebula, is off to a great start at the box office.  It looks like everything's coming up Gillen.

And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
