*AT-AT

I personally think this could be done for a $90-$120 price point.

They did do that in Mindstorms.  They could certainly exclude the expensive
computer technology and make it LEGO System snowspeeder scale at the same
price.

*Sandtroopers with Dewback

Uh.  The Dewback would end up being a Kaadu-like guy, but it might be cool.
Definitely good for getting lots of Stormtroopers.

Am I the only one who wants TLC to make a big TECHNIC Dewback?  We are getting
a Technic stormtrooper.


*Han and Luke on Tauntauns

Gungan patrol part 2, seems likely.

I expect this too.  A Tauntaun in the Sculpture theme would also be cool.

I also expect most vehicles to be repeated, with new colours and minifigs.
Kids born in 1999 will want to play with LEGO X-wings and Snowspeeders just
like the kids born in the previous decades.  Since Star Wars goes to 2007 or
something like that, and the original line will likely be discontinued within
the next two years, TLC should make new editions of the most popular vehicles.
If kids in 2007 get only obscure playsets and no vehicles, they won't have as
much fun.
