Good points. Lucas supposedly exerted a lot of control over set design for the
Star Wars line (by having his kids play test the sets, supposedly).
however there are two minor points that ought to be taken into account
1) it's not certain that LEGO have the ongoing license for all the movies... 1

2) real castles tend to get added on to over time and thus tend to be mottled.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like the color changes. But this argument may or may
not be an effective one to use in big petition drives etc.
