Another nice thing about the Gungan Sub is that it has the Star Wars hood in
Brown. I think, but am not positive, that it is the only set that has one.
What is the "unofficial" name of this hood? I have seen people call some
hoods "cowls", but am not sure if they are talking about the wolfpack
peasant type hoods or these Star Wars hoods.

I call them Star Wars hoods, big hoods, new hoods. (sounds like Dr. Seuss, no?)
The old ones I call: Old hoods, small hoods, classic hoods, or forestmen or
wolfpack hoods.
Any others?

Correct you are! It's the only SW set (well, only LEGO set) to come with the
young version of Obi-Wan...

Don't think this hood has an unofficial name yet-- but yes, I'm pretty sure
that 'cowl' referrs to the Peasant/Wolfpack hoods.
Rather good that both the Sith Infiltrator and the Gungan Subs have been the
two not selling (I think the Droid Fighter's probably also up there on the
list of sets that aren't selling well), and yet they're great sources for grey
plates, etc :)
It'd be kind of interesting to see what sets are the most popular-- as in the
highest percentage bought from Lego and sold in stores to consumers... Sets
like the X-Wing, Snowspeeder, B-Wing, Tie Fighter/Y-Wing are dissappearing from
stores, while other sets (mainly EP 1 sets) just sit there on the shelves.

The older ones are often ref'ed to as peasant/WP cowls... and the new one in
brown is sometimes called Obi-wan hood (he *is* the only one wearing it...)
