I think we must consider that in 2002 EP II will be released and TLC will
probably focus on that first and foremost. Personally, I think the AT-AT is
the most recognizable vehicle but it's just too big to be practical. As for
the Expanded Universe, TLC may not have the merchandising rights to do this and
since it wasn't on film, a lot of people won't recognize it. But if TLC made
the Battle Droid Transport, I guess just about anything goes.
