I did something slightly similar for my potion/drug store in my market.

I think the Darth Maul or even the new Luke torso from the Skiff set work great
as Wizard/Magicians. I even created a Priest/Minister for my church using
Maul's torso.

I just love using the SW torso's for my medieval folk. There is actually a
good variety of torso's and now even more with the new SW sets (Mostly the two
figs from the Skiff Han & Luke).
From Memory these SW figs make great Castle town folk:
Darth Maul (Black Hood)
Desert Luke
Old Obi Wan (Gray Hair)
Young Obi Wan (Brown Hood)
Qui Gon Ginn (Long Man's Hair)
Padme (If there is a better hair piece out there let me know)
Skiff Luke
Skiff Han
Jar Jar Bink's (Just the torso and legs of course)
Gungan Soldier
Flash Speeder Driver (Brown Hands for leather gloves)
I think the Obi Wan and Qui Gon torso's are the same but they are still great.
Plus don't forget all the Black and Brown capes that come with those figs too.
I don't think LEGO could include this many peasants in this variety in the
Castle theme if they tried. IMHO the SW sets are hands down the best sets on
the market at the present time. Both in set quality and selection of parts.
It would be increadible if LEGO would use the same tactics in designing even
one other theme. I understand the need for some Juniorization but a little
more high quality stuff like the SW sets would be great.

| (...) Not only that, but they come in cheap sets! You can buy a skiff, the lightsaber duel, the landspeeder, and the Gungan Swamp for all under $10, I think... Now all they need to do is offer a padme fig (or at least the hair) in a cheap set! (...) (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
