For $100 you can be sure its not aimed towards the kids.

It's interesting to see, but doesn't help me understand the marketing philosophy
for this set.

It says 14+, but it looks like a big playset to me too.

Do 'kids' over 14 identify enough with this movie (now 23 years old) to want to
spend $100 on this set?

Will there be a lot of adult Star Wars fans who will want to spend the money on
this set?  I understand the connection between adult fans and the larger Star
Wars vehicles (such as the Star Destroyer, UCS X-Wing, AT-AT etc.) as they are
something that can be displayed at home, or even in an office.  But will adult
fans put this play set on a shelf in their cubicles at work?

I don't have the answers, I'm just asking the questions.

Seems to me that the type of set, and the theme of it, are an odd mix.  Maybe
I'm missing something.
