So it is possible that we'll never see a pack of SW minifigs because putting
one out would incite Hasbro in some way, or might actually just fully violate

Which makes it odd that it was hinted at in an official interview...although
the person doing the hinting might not have known that it would be a violation.

It's a shame that Lego already produced the
Landspeeder from  Episode IV, because that set would seem to be a natural for
inclusion of one, two, or even up to four Stormtroopers.  Can anyone else think
of a small-ish vehicle set that could easily include Stormtroopers?

Stormtrooper Patrol - 2-4 Stormtroopers, a Dewback, and some small constructed
thingy tossed in to make it a "construction toy".  (If they got away with the
Lightsaber Duel and the Gungan Patrol, they could do something similar here.)

Death Star Trash Compactor - OK, it's not Stormtroopers, it's Luke and Han in
Stormtrooper outfits - but with the helmets on, nobody will be able to tell
anyway.  (But since all minifigs are the same height, how will Leia know to
say, "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?")  If we're unlucky they
won't include the helmets, thus creating a shortage and frustrating
fans...unless they put out a "SW Accessory Pack"...

  Star Wars Minifig Packs - Thoughts
 
Ok, so I've been thinking about Star Wars minifig packs, and I think I might have found a reason we'll never, ever see them, which is sad. But before you hate me and say I'm the bearer of bad tidings, hear me out, because there might be hope. Ok. So (...) (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)
