I really hope it isn't 'any new element introduced in a SW set'...the 2x4
extremely low slopes were originally SW, no? Here's hoping the Jedi hoods
aren't included either, or the tan and grey hairpieces...or the cannons or
the 3x6x3 engine piece...
Anyway, it's hopefully anything that is recognizably Star Wars - so the minifig
face/torso/leg designs, the Battle Droids, the tiles with Imperial and Rebellion
symbols on it, that sort of thing.

Whats so hard to define? the hoods are not star wars specific, the rebel helmets are. artoo detoos head is, but that element itself is not, (see the arctic theme to see it in orange) so it stands to reason that artoo detoos body as an element (...)
