Yep.  Leia w/ hair buns could pretty much be in the MF, the Tantive
IV/blockade
runner, or a Death Star playset.

That probably means another Luke (probably desert Luke).  I would not be
suprised if they threw in an R2-D2 as well.

Because we need plenty of R2 units.  God knows I don't have enough.  Maybe I can
give them to all my witches as lab assistants...

I doubt that we will see either Chewie or C-3PO this year.  I personally don't
this TLC has figured out how to handle them.  For Chewie I think the closest
thing they have is the Ghost and for C-3PO I think he is about dead between
being a standard fig with printing and some sort of droid like the battle
droid.

I'm guessing that 'classic' c3p0, if and when he ever shows up, will be a
normal
'fig.  (After all, they fit a guy in the costume.)  Dunno about 'naked' 3p0...

So unfortunatly we are probably going to go another year without a Storm
Trooper (a bigger tragedy then the Falcon in my mind), C-3PO, Chewbacca, Yoda,
Lando (to big of a PC problem I think), Tarkin (or any other imperial
officer), or an Emperor/Darth Sidious.  In fact in terms of the new Classic
Star Wars sets we are not getting a single new imperial period and the only
"bad guy" we are getting is Boba Fett.

At this rate I am wondering why it was so hard for the Rebels to defeat the
Empire.  The Empire sure is out gunned from a LEGO perspective.

Honestly, the Classic line is (I think) running out of sets to *not* have
stormtroopers in!  Maybe next year will be the "Imperial Year" - TIE Fighter,
Imperial Shuttle, AT-ST...hey, I can dream, can't I?
