I happen to have an old Bantha Tracks issue (waaay old Star Wars fanclub

the fact that Luke is the Last remaining Jedi, and is choosing a somber

because of Vader's influence on the Jedi that Luke wears black.

Also, do you think TLG will release the brown hood piece that can only be
found with the Gungan Sub set?  I just can not afford to shell out another
50 bucks to have two hooded jedis.

Not until 2002, according to LEGO's reps at Toy Fair 2001.

Best :o)
