Q: Star Wars Lego is in many ways 'back to classic Lego', with small, and many
parts. Was that a design goal from the beginning?
A: It was extremely important for me personally. [...]

Wow! Some designers agree with the general few on Lugnet: no more Jr.

Q: Princess Leia and Han Solo are in the logo, but not in any model. Why?
A: I can't answer that. But I can say like this: we have a long agreement with

Q: Martin, please be honest, surely Lego is too expensive?
A: I can't talk about that. You'll have to ask marketing.
