Isn't it funny (and a bit sad) how the SW sets are more "LEGO" than the
regular System sets (ie, Adventurers, Town Center, etc.).  The new pieces are
less specialized, the sets build reasonable alternate models, the minifig
faces aren't all new (there's even a plain smiley).


Almost makes you wonder if Lucas made some sort of demand that the
sets be more traditional and less like the crap TLG is making for the
other themes now.

I wondered that, too.  It makes some sense--Lucas can pick and choose
their licensees.  So if they contract with LEGO, it's because they want
to see Star Wars in LEGO form.  So why make it in a watered-down, Star
Wars, Jr. style?
