(...) Not to mention the fact that the Martians themselves are Battle droids with new heads. Also in that blue car (at the top of the thread) there is the piece from the back of the redesigned speeder bikes (in Ewok Attack 7139), as seen in this (...)

(...) I think, though, that the only parts that that would cover would be those actually bearing WB trademarked properties, like the HP character minifig heads, sorting hat, that sort of thing.
