SW was my favorite movie. Saw it 7 times the year it came out. Are the
new theme sets available anywhere yet??

Mine too...or maybe the trilogy as a whole. Not necessarily the "best"
movies IMHO but definitely my favorites, FWIW. :)
I am dying to learn what color the LEGO T.I.E. fighter models are, if they
produce any Empire models.

A sort of blusih-grey would be cool, if not then dark grey. Why wouldn't
they produce any Empire models?

Do what you can, but behave yourself.
We'll have more, right after this.

I recently went to the Smithsonian exhibit on Star Wars. All the TIE vehicles were a blue/gray color, based on the actual movie props. Bordering more on blue, but I would guess most of the vehicles will be done in classic gray. That is generally what they look like on screen.

Yes, that's true. I saw the Lucas' Art of Star Wars exhibit when it came to the
Moscone center here in the SF bay area, and the Ties are bluish-grey. Most
impressive! I won't really care if they don't have a blue-grey color though.
Also that color or very similar was the Executor Star Destroyer. Nice to know
they're at the SI now.
I could have touched the Millenium Falcon, the one about three or four feet long
*sigh* :) but didn't - it was too magical (for lack of a better word), and I
didn't want to be thrown out.
I could have spent all day there. As it was, I spent about three hours. Like the
models, equally impressive were the masks for the various aliens. My favorite
was some "ogre-head" (someone will know his real name/race) that was yellowish,
and had small (approx 6") tusks protruding from its jaw out of its mouth. AFAIK,
they had one of every costume used too. The Emperor's elite guards in red were
impressive, and they even had that head-prop that Lando's bald aide wore in the
Cloud City.
That exhibit was so cool. Much of it was an inch or two behind plexiglass, but I
was right there almost pressing my nose against it.
There's so much that TLG could do with this theme. I'm sure Lucas let TLG
designers really get good long looks at this stuff. That must have been really
fun!
I hope TLG's Yoda and R2D2 are shorter than everyone else, and Chewie is taller.
