Yeah, there's certainly room for more releases before episode
2 comes out.
A bigger, better A-Wing (doesn't the scale of the 2000 A-Wing look a little off
compared to the x-wings and y-wings?)
Imperial Shuttle (this seems like the most obvious hole in the line, besides
the regular TIE fighter and the bespin cloud cars).
A minifigure-scale TIE Interceptor
Cantina set (any excuse to come up with hammerhead, greedo, etc
figures)
Ben's House (or Uncle Owen's Farm -- any excuse to come up with some nice
tan structures and sandpeople and jawa figures)
Oh, and of course, X-wing with battle damage ... hahahha ....
