(...) Indeed it was... While the Outrider did not make an apearance in the original trilogy, the design impressed George Lucas so much that it was added to the Special Edition version of ANH. It can be seen taking off from Mos Eisley as Luke's (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

From what I understand the Shadows of the Empire line from Kenner actually sold fairly well... not as well as the rest of the SW line mind you, but still pretty well. An Imperial year would be nice... there are so many cool Imperial ships we haven't (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Don't fret, we will get Storm Troopers. How though, no one will know. The figure is in the StarWars system logo as is Boba Fett. And we got Boba Fett. And soon we will get the emperor too(which we have all seen). You can pretty much assume that we (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Definitely a good point. That's why I doubt a $50 Imperial Shuttle will be produced. It's not recognizable enough to warrant such a high price tag. This is a guess, but I think it's recognition would be comparable to that of the A-wing or (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I have yet to see Lego make a fig and then not place him in a major set. Sure, the Emperor is on the SW system logo, and now he is in a little 3 fig pack. But he will probably be in a set. And what is the only set anyone can really think of him (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
