I am curious, as I don't have an extensive knowledge of LEGO.  Sebulba is a
"piece", and characters that are made of parts like Pit Droids or Gasgano are
not minifigs.

Could someone make sense of all of it?

Are larger figures (like the pilot in 8253 Fire Helicopter) still considered
to be "minifigs" or is there another name for these larger more articulated
pieces?

I think "TECHNIC Figures" is the accepted term, but there may be another (I've
heard "maxifig" used colloquially).

(...) AFAIK maxifig refers to the really old bendy arm type people used in e.g. the homemaker sets. (25 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)
