Yeah, but wouldn't the Escape Pod be a pretty small set, say around $5.99?
That would probably mean it'd include a maximum of 2 characters, &
wouldn't they most likely be R2-D2 & C3-P0?

Yeah, if we're assuming an Imperial year (as we have for quite some time
now), that might be true. Still, a shuttle wouldn't be a huge model, so
the number of characters would probably be pretty limited... If we assume
TLG would want to capitalize on the fact that they now have an Emperor
minifig, he'd be included... Then Imperial guards would make more sense
than troopers. Also, the stormtroopers were only present as part of a
scenery, not really involved in any way with the shuttles.

Good case. But that would probably require a fairly large model, unless it
was a one-seater, in which case a stormtrooper could definitely act as
"ground crew" (along the lines of what we've already seen for all rebel
fighters).

| (...) Lego would not include the emperor in the shuttle tyderium set because the emperor is a "mini-fig pack exclusive" so it would probably be the hijacked rebel shuttle or Vader's shuttle. Michael (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
