Does this bring Lego a step closer to creating African or African/American
minifigures. I think it does. Maybe next year we will see Lando Calrissian.
Again, for all those people invested in this argument I think this is a
significant development.

I'm just annoyed that we didn't get a classic smiley for the stormtrooper
head.  Why bother with plain yellow?

As to the helmets, the only diff ('sides the hoses & color) is that the TIE
pilot has an additional helmet over the top of the standard stormtrooper
model.  Extra crash cushioning I guess.  This is the same feature that
differentiates the AT-AT driver & stormtrooper. See the main page at
www.theforce.net for a pic.

My worry: If they didn't make the TIE helmet accurate, will they just give
us the standard stormtrooper helmet for the AT-AT driver when they finally
get around to making a system version?
