First off, LEGO has said they won't do Minifig packs for SW like they have
done before; mostly because it kinda sorta goes against their agreement with
Lucasfilm and Hasbro.  Hasbro has the license for figures, LEGO has the
license for *building sets*, which is why the Minifig sets of Darth Maul,
Vader, and Palpatine went away and now we have the "story teller" sets ->
minimal construction but enought to qualify.

Having said that, I'd like:
==> a Rancor (I mean.. come on!)
==> Admiral Ackbar (or any Calamarian)
==> Oola (or any female twi'lek - i mean Bib is really ugly)

taun taun's would be nice.. we've got those ugly gungan things.. why not a
taun taun? hmm? what's up with that?

oh yeah, and alien jedi are always welcome!

I thought it would be awesome to have . . .
Lego minfig sets with five minifigures each with an accessory (like they
used to do).

Set 1
Rebel Forces
-Hoth soldier
-Endor soldier
-Rebel pilot
-Astromech droid (not blue!)
-Calamarian pilot

Set 2
Imperial Forces
-Storm Trooper
-Scout Trooper
-Snow Trooper
-Tie Fighter pilot
-AT-ST/AT-AT pilot

Set 3
Misc Episode 4-6
-Gamorian Guard
-Jawa (short legs)
-Ewok (short legs, rust head piece)
-Tusken Raider
-Ree Yees

Set 4
Misc Episode 1-2
-Clone Trooper
-Young Greedo (short legs)
-Gungan soldier
-Genosian
-Jedi Padawan (short legs, braid)

I liked these choices as there were no main characters in them.  They could
be sold for $5.99-7.99 easily.  This would be great for those trying to
expand thier own Star Wars universe.

What are some other ideas out there?  What should have been
included/excluded and why?  LEGO won't know unless you tell them. And since
they don't take solicitations and they do read about what the fans are
asking for, take some time and let them know what we want.

(...) No, more figure pack for Star Wars . . . bummer. I was unaware of that. Perhaps then TLC would be willing to add additional figures in future sets. Such as a $20 set that normally would have 180 or so pieces and three figures could be changed (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.starwars)
