The Shuttle is just a really cool ship! I think that kids will want it just
because it looks cool. And, IMO, The Shuttle is highly recognizable as a SW
ship. I admit that I am a "collector" but I loved the shuttle even before I
became one. The Shuttle "Tyderium" plays a HUGE role in ROTJ (bigger than A-
Wings and B-Wings IMO) and even though I would rather get the Emporer's
Shuttle with the Emporer and Royal Guards, I think we'll end up with Tyderium
with Chewie, Han, Luke, Leia, the droids, and maybe some rebel troops.

Agreed... But I don't think we'll see a Death Star or Star Destroyer, at least
not as "sets." I think we may see UCS or Technic versions, but I just don't
see Lego making either of these for use with minifigs... they are WAY too big,
and if they butchered them up and made microfig exteriors with minifig
interiors people here would complain about it more than they complained about
the Falcon. It's possible they could make Star Destroyer and Death Star
playsets (bridge, throne room, etc,) but personally I'd rather see more ships
first.
