I think we'll also see:

Lars Family speeder
Cloud City Car
Jawa Sandcrawler
Swoop Bike (tried to do one of these myself but it didn't come out right)

plus TLG would be smart to release a Z95 Headhunter... basically the same
pieces as the X-Wing (minus a few... :)

I hope we get some more Episode 1 stuff as well... I'd love to have the chrome
pieces from the Queens ship... :)

I think we'll see the following playsets:

1) Jabba's Palace
2) Rancor Pit (maybe w/Jabba's Palace)
3) Emporer's Throne Room
4) Hoth Base
5) Death Star Prison Escape
6) something on Endor (Ewok Village?)
7) Jedi Duel (TPM)

I would LOVE a UCS A-Wing, B-Wing, Tie Fighter, Darth Vader's Tie, Tie Bomber,
Imperial Shuttle, Speeder Bike, R2-D2, AT-ST, Millenium Falcon, etc, etc...

I'd also like to see some model team stuff, maybe a Star Destroyer, or a
Blockade Runner, or an AT-AT... and some more technic droids, C-3PO, 2-1B,
GONK, R5-D4, Imperial Probe Droid, Imperial Interrogation Droid, etc...

We also need to keep in mind that Episode 2 + 3 are coming out within the next
7 years, and there will definately be plenty of new ships + scenes to keep TLG
busy...

It appears that Lego is spreading it all out as much as possible so that they will have new material by the time the next movie opens. They will continue to release a few Ep. 1,4,5,6 this year and next year. Then, in 2002, the secret sets will start (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)
  Re: What can we expect?
 
I really like the idea of a cloud car and a sandcrawler, however; what color would the cloud car be? Is Lego orange accurate enough, it looks too bright to me. Secondly I don't think that Lego has the license to produce stuff from the expanded Star (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I have been seriously thinking about this; how many more classic vehicles can be made? Looking at the rebel vehicles, it appears that they have all been done. The only remaining vehicles are too big to make a mini-fig size vehicle, and not charge (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)
