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.

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 to 150-160 with five figures.  To some people more
figs means better value.  The current sets (Jabba's insert whatever) really
were not what I would have imagined.  Who out there doesn't already have two
or more of all the main characters.  How many Boba Fetts do you need?

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!

There are a lot of people who want both a Rancor and Taun Tauns.  I think
that enough people have asked for them that LEGO will attempt making them.
At least the Taun Tauns. I'm still rooting for more variety in creatures.  I
really could care less which ones.  That is what I like so much about Star
Wars, the cool looking aliens and light saber fights.

Still wishing
