There are 7 characters on the logo.  3 of these have been produced as
mini-entities.  I'd say there's not much affinity between being on the
logo, and actually being a minifig.

I would have to agree with Ben about the blasters, but the only thing I
can see that the characters that TLG has brought out only used
lightsabers, namely Obi-one (sp?), Darth Vader, and Luke. I can't
remember if the speedbike pilots had blasters or not, I watched Return
of the Jedi a few weeks ago, but I can't recall...

As for Han Solo, and Chewbacca, they aren't in the first set releases,
and I doubt if they ever will be. Can you imagine the cost of the
Millennium Falcon? ($150.00USD-$200.00USD easy!) How would they make
Chewie anyway? Put a brown ghost over a mini-fig? (J/K)

R2-D2 looks like it is a new and unique "minifig," (mini-droid?), so maybe TLG
will make a new and unique minifig of Chewy. That would be cool. As for Han,
he's in the Official Logo of Lego Star Wars, right next to the Princess...Bubba
Fett (sp) is also shown, so hopefully, since they've been rendered into Lego
Art, they'll be actual minifigs, as well. That would be great, too. And I would
*LOVE* to have a Millennium Falcon, no matter the cost, if it was of the same
quality as the rest of the Star Wars line.
Blasters? Yeah, just use the camera/laser rifle piece until TLG comes out with
hand blasters (if they do). Or, you could use a hand gun from the Wild West,
and just pretend that it is a hand blaster. After all, we're pretending anyway.
