Hopefully in pirate/wild west coin gold color. This would be a great minifig.

If they do him I think he will be a one(maybe two) piece figure. This would be
the
only way they could do it because his shape is nothing close to humanoid.
"What! No Yoda! And you call yourselves makers of Star Wars toys!" :) Well I
really
don't care if they make him, and if they do it would probably be only for a
minifig
pack(I think they would make a bundle of off minifig packs especially if they
did
stormtrooper and rebel soldier ones. And then one for the main characters for
those
who just like minifigs(not me:)

I would hope they'd make Lando. But I think it would be best to leave him out if
they
don't give him a brown head. I would also like to see Mace Windu from TPM, along
with some of the other dignitories.

Yes a carved ghost body with a brown head and two new pieces, a long left leg
and
a long right leg. :)

Yes we definately we need aliens. Jar Jar is so cool looking:) I already know
who
my favorite characters in the movie are and all I've seen is a few pictures and
some
video clips from George Lucas' appearence on 60 Minutes. Oh, yeh, they are Jar
Jar and the battle droids. So I guess the most logical set for me to get is the
Naboo
Swamp. And that and the Naboo fighter are first on my list.
Well theres some input.
