There are only about eight or so free pieces - 4 of which are the 2x2
cylinder 'R2D2' robot body bricks that aren't even used in the statue.  If I
remember correctly there were only two extra 2x4 bricks.  Also a 2x6 and a
2x8 I think...

   Just finished mine.  I had 16 pieces  left over, all were the
"New" green except the 1/2 pin.   Here's a rundown....

(4) 2x2 R2D2 Bodies
(1) Gray 1/2 Technic pin
(1) 1x1 tile
(2) 2x4 brick
(4) 2x6 brick
(4) 2x8 brick

Apologies for the error when I said last week there's 8 pieces left over (my
memory is not good) - I have the exact same 16 pieces left also.

The only use for the R2D2 bodies I can see is to substitute the cone piece
at the bottom of the torch, or to allow an extension of the torch handle?
Even if that's the case, why four of them?

Perhaps TLG accidentally confused them with the four 2x2 cylinder bricks -
which came in their own small packing bag.  Possibly this was a last minute
'fix' on TLG's part?

  Mystery of the 4 droid bodies? (was Re: It's here!)
 
(...) Perhaps this is a good place for LEGO Direct to step in and clear up a mystery with some rather harmless inside info? I can't see why these were included being a trade secret. eric (24 years ago, 4-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
