8 Years is probably right:

EP1 = 1999 release
EP3 = 2005 release

They'll probably want to sell EP3 sets for at least a couple of years, so,
let's say through the end of 2006

1999 to 2006  = 8 years.   Maybe longer, could go through 2007 easily using
TLG's 2 years of production schema.  And, it could have actually started in
1998, when TLG and Lucas probably started negotiations.  So, it could
easily, in actuality, be a 10 year license.

Very nice,

I just love this idea (being a truly space fan). Unfortunately they
discontinued the classic space line and the Star Wars license will run • more
than eight years

Eight years?
That CAN'T be right!  I'd say 6 years at the most.
Episode 2 is supposed to come out May 26, 2002 (tooo far away!) and EP3 • some
time in 2005...

5 years away!

not permitting TLC to launch any new Space Themes. Rock
Raiders and Star Wars are nice too, but I'd prefer a comeback of classic
space, new colours like the cool transparent purple you describe would be
cool though. Maybe even a monorail cruising through those wormhole, yeah.
Hm, now I start dreaming myself, I love Monorails...

Bye, Christian.

P.S.: I really hope a small part of TLC reads this newsgroup as there are
many great new theme ideas around.

Hey Dave,
Do you think we could convince LEGO to make transparent (even glowing) • purple
pieces?  THAT would be different.  It would make a nice space theme • with
dark
grey and black parts.  Perhaps some kind of "wormhole" explorers • series...
Okay, now I am really making myself rabid.
