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 can be used for anything, with the possible exception of his
legs..  so can the battle droids arms, but not the head, as it is recognizably
star wars in any context.    I think even Qui-gons hair could be used again,
maybe in a braveheart or biker context, whereas Leia’s hair probably could • not.
gray and tan hair? c’mon! Lego has made that element for the last three
decades! they obviously have full property rights to it as long as they don’t
print rebel insignia on it or something like that. all cannons and cockpits
will be recycled, lightsaber blades could be bars in the new space police( not
that they will ever do that ;-)  but sebulba will not be reused.

I would bet that the lightsaber hilt piece can not be reused.  Though I and
every other AFOL could think of things to use it for, TLG doesn't seem quite
that inventive anymore.

(...) Thats probably true, unless they didnt make it chrome. it would be useful in drk grey for example (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)
