(...) The Z-95 is an old ship that the X-Wing was based off. (so the story goes) It is highly propable that either Episode 2 or 3 (maybe both) will have Z-95s and R-41 Starchasers.

Hey, I noticed on the back of the A-Wing box (and other spaceship boxes) that the floor is made up of 1x2 grill plates and 1x2 smooth plates. The grill plates are backlit to look like floor lamps. I thought that since the grill plates are LEGO, (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Knowing Lego, the Cloud Car will probably be a combination of red and orange parts. I'd rather it be red than orange, though, because the lego orange is kinda bright. But even if they make 'em orange, they'd still be cool. -John (...) chrome (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I really like the idea of a cloud car and a sandcrawler, however; what color would the cloud car be? Is Lego orange accurate enough, it looks too bright to me. Secondly I don't think that Lego has the license to produce stuff from the expanded Star (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

It appears that Lego is spreading it all out as much as possible so that they will have new material by the time the next movie opens.
