Not that I accept the word of mere store managers as LEGO gospel, but if true,
I must say WHOO HOO!!
The only two items that are mandatory for any Episode 4-6 sets are:
1) Imperial Stormtroopers. I mean, come on, if we're gonna get the droid
things in boatloads for the Ep 1 sets, shouldn't we be getting the same things
for Stormtroopers? They're in 75% of the scenes in Ep 4-6 (a bit of a stretch,
but not mucy).
2) Millenium Falcon. Nuff said.
Oh, an idea about the repetition of various minifigs. The prequels are
supposed to be about the Clone Wars, are they not, so the repeated minifigs
are... you guessed it... Clones! Of course, I'm not sure how Luke gets cloned
about a billion(1) times, but that's another story.
(1) 1x10^9. I use American mathematical terminology. (2)
(2) Hey, it's my first and second footnotes!
