That would be very sad, if the licensing limitations go beyond the
minifigs, and ship designs. But I think "elements" in this case is a
general term, refering to "things identifiable as Star Wars". As
opposed to "elements" meaning "LEGO bricks & pieces". So I'm still
hopeful that the 2000 non-SW sets will use some of the SPUDs which
will first appear in SW sets. (1)

You can only put so many mini-figs in one logo...
I'd be happy if the C-3P0 fig is just the lego-droid in yellow and/or
chrome. But it'll probably at least have a special threepio head.
Chewbacca might be tough, since he should be about two plates taller
than regular minifigs. A simple solution is 1x1 plates on the bottom
of his feet. New leg and/or torso pieces would be an interesting
approach. Or they could just use the monkey-fig, with the tail cut
off. ;)

Is that our only hope? I have a bad feeling about this.
How long can a conversation be carried using only Star Wars-isms?
