I'm not sure... TLG has done printed heads for oddball things before, like
robots and the UFO guys, but they might change this. I'm not actually sure
which I'd prefer...preprinted wouldn't do it justice, but molded might promote
Town Jr-ism. :-/

I doubt it. My guess is that for at least the first year or two of the SW
contract they will only be found in bigger sets, to force people into getting
big sets, even if they just want the figures for a collectors item. Otherwise,
why no Leia in the speeder bike sets?
I would guess that Han (and Chewbacca?) will only show up with a Millenium
Falcon set, while Leia... hard to say. maybe a Death Star prison set?
Which leads me to a curiousity... will the main characters continue to have
distinctive heads, enabling the Luke and Han as storm troopers to be a simple
head swap?
