I think those are prototype pictures.  The giveaway is the Destroyer Droid.
We have all seen what it is going to look like, however the recent picture at
Outerrim of the Destroyer Droid is VERY VERY different from the confirmed
looking set.  The Outerrim pic has lots more brown, no shield generators, no
hoses, different head, different upper torso, different leg construction,
etc...  The confirmed pic which shows 8000-8002 on the same page looks much
fuller and more robust. I an going with the prayer that those are prototype
pics and are subject to change.\

Another quick question regarding those technic x-wing and tie-fighter. It says they will be Limited Edition? What exactly does that mean? I WILL have those sets :), but how will I get them? -Zak zak@mimir.net (25 years ago, 24-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The purple color of the MF cockpit seems dubious to me. I have to believe that Lego will design a more authentic canopy; after all, Vader's Tie Figher and the Y-Wing, X-Wing, and Snow Speeder all have relatively detailed canopy markings, and (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) My thoughts exactly. I believe these pictures are similar to the X-Wing we saw last year. I feel the main designs will stay basically the same, but printing, colors and minor changes will take place. Here are my thoughts on each set: 7155 AAT (...)
