Well, I think they will make as many of the original trilogy characters as
possible. Remember, there's probably going to be a three year gap between
the new movies. That leaves plenty of time in between Episode I and
Episode II to expand the original trilogy and Episode I lines.
Also, I think LEGO will be more than happy to churn out new molds for the
Star Wars line. I'm sure they know the sales possibilities with this line
-- otherwise they wouldn't have paid the licensing fees to obtain the
rights to produce the Star Wars sets.
Another possibility is that LEGO and Lucasfilm have a special agreement for
LEGO to produce X number of sets per trilogy over the course of the
contract. Although, that's just a wild guess...
