I have to agree that there is reason to be concerned about the Falcon. My
prediction: great pieces, severely under-scaled. I don't think that it is
possible to do the Falcon justice (Minifig scale) with less than a thousand
pieces, but, considering that Lego is producing some new sets (the new Super
Car, the Bar Code Truck, and the Space Shuttle, etc.) in the 1200 to 1400 piece
range, maybe this bad boy will approach 1500 pieces, although I am skeptical
that TLG would put out anything in the SW line that costs more than about
$139.00. If TLG is willing to go all out, the Falcon could become the flagship
of the entire line.
