The possible vehicles (from the original trilogy) not yet announced are:
TIE Interceptor (minifig)
TIE Bomber
AT-AT
Star Destroyer
Super Star Destroyer
Blockade Runner
Death Star
Death Star II
Calamarian Cruiser
Ewok Hanglider
T-16 Skyhopper
Lars Family Speeder
Jabba's Sail Barge
Swoop Bike (from ANH:SE)
Cloud Car
Jawa Sandcrawler
Obviously the larger ships probably won't be made, but this list is just off
the top of my head... I'm sure there's more. Plus there's all the stuff from
the books (SOTE, the Thrawn trilogy, etc.) that could be made at some point.
There's plenty there to keep Lego busy until 2005... plus with
the "announcement" of Watto's Junk Shop, play sets are seeming more and more
likely.

Lessee... Naboo Royal Cruiser, the ship the Jedi arrive in, the transports on
Coruscant, the ship Palpatine arrives at Naboo in, uh, that's all I can think
of right now.
Anyway, with UCS sets and play sets, there should be enough Ep1 stuff to last
until they can bring out the EP2 stuff.
