My guess is that there´ll be a Slave I because:
- it´s got a good size to be build as a modell (well a smaller scaled version)
- we need more of the bad guys. One TIE is not enough for playing Star Wars
- it looks cool, so it´ll sell good
- we´ve already seen Boba Fett and heard the rumours ;o)
- Slave I is a much better model to sell than a desert skiff, espacially for
kids/people who havn´t seen Star Wars. It looks like a space-ship, the desert
skiff is too special (imho)
- I want that Han in Carbonit, don´t you ?
I bet a brick on Slave I - dö
