Looks like cool new parts for '01:

7315? "landing pads/feet" for small pod just below the main ship. They
look more complex than a simple 1x2 plate, and they don't appear to be
click-hinge plates. The arms may be new parts, too. Is that a 1x2 brick
with 2 technic pins?

Ii is still possible that they might be click hinge plates. Look at
7311, it looks like they introduce a new click compatible bending arm
series of parts.

7313 two 2x4x3 "fan" bricks? These should work great for VTOL aircraft.
Cool-looking windshield piece, nice and sleek. looks like it might be a
smoky trans-gray. The 4x4 round part in the top left may be the same as
the part in Sebulba's Pod Racer with a 2x2 plate attachment on the
hidden side.

I think it is not that piece, it is e new one. The one from Sebulba's
pod is a male one (I mean it has studs) but this piece has tubes
instead.

7311 two 3x6 wing plates in the new "verdigris" green color. Might be
two 1x1x1.3 brick w/rounded top and 1x1 side plate in that same color.
New green parts are also apparent in the small walker that comes with
the 7317 base.

7312 new flexible hose pieces and wheels?

Wheels were already used in Rock Raiders sets I think. Those flexible
tubes are the same as the regular technic ones? If those pieces at their
both ends are not separable, then they are new. I'm not sure, but looks
like. Is this a new color for the cockpit? The reflection is not looking
like from a regular trans gray/smoke part. Also I think we would have
chrome life support packs and a new reflective color for helmet visors.

7316 new grabbing claw part, may have rubber-band powered spring loaded
action (compare claws on bottom and top of this model). 2x2x2
inverted-pyramid brick just to right of the cockpit. I really like that
new cockpit piece.

Grabbing parts could be some roborider/slizer/throwbot crapp, but of
course I'm not sure. Inverse Pyramid looks like the corner of TIE wing
connector piece to me. And look at the structure behind. "Stargate"
gates?..:-)

7146 SW wings in black. Stormtrooper and TIE Pilot!! Still armed with
goofy-looking gun, but what the heck, we finally have a Stormtrooper!!

Of course!..:-)

7166 Nice-looking angled cockpit piece. I can already think of many
uses for this part in my own models. Imperial Guards. Why does the
Emperor have 4 hands? "Through the Force, many things are possible.
Extra hands you can grow. Umm?"

Muhahh..:-) But the cockpit piece is not a new one, It already used in
City floating boats last year, and in this stupid radar truck of Space
Port

7127 Ack! Looks horrible, but a cheap source for Wookies. Are those
non-chromed lightsabre handles used for the "nose" guns?

Most probably.

7186 Looks good for green parts and a big 8x8 round plate not seen for
a few years.

7106 8x8 cylinder? Gimme!

Yesss!..

1353/1355 A clearer shot of the new part used for the landing feet in
7315. Looks like a 1x2 click hinge plate with a new
click-hinge/cross-axle piece. In 1353 it looks like this piece will
come in male and female varieties, and has full click-hinge support for
this joint. This piece is just begging to be used in many new Mecha
MOCs.

1352 "T" handle in dynamite detonator. Is this an old pneumatic
T-connector? Looks like it might be hollow. Cool scaffolding.

Yeah, just the old one..:-)
