This could also be LEGO’s way to slyly “ease” into a military theme. I wouldn’t
be surprized if they avoid using swastikas and the like, which is just as well
perhaps. But I could see this generating all kinds of interestng minifigs and
maybe also new weapons.
Cool to see an indication that the sets may be from the first three movies as
well as the upcoming one. The German flying wing from Raiders... is just aching
to be turned into a set...
Also, the fanbase for the originalmovies is an older crowd, and I’m hoping that
will translate into less juniorized minifig-scale sets. Certainly the SW
franchise set an impressive precedent.
This is good news indeed!

I believe they wouldn't be able to use swastikas and still legally sell in
Germany.

That symbol featured quite prominently in the films. Was there a special murfled
version made for the German market? Maybe lego could do the same, similar to
what they did with the Dino Attack theme.
Not that I particularly want to see a swastika in an official set(1) or
anything, but I would prefer the sets to be true to the source material.

Don’t worry, Al, you may be able to take comfort that the sets include
new guns in lieu of the murflable
symbols.
No swastikas(1), but plenty of guns! No problems there!

Personally, I hope they make a set of the face melting scene.
