The ship Palpatine & the ship the jedi arrive in are actually the same ship
type: Republic Cruiser. Not a ship I'd make if I were Lego, given the low
visibility of it in the movies & the limited "fun factor" for kids.
However, seems like Lego is going for one $100 System set every year... With
the AT-AT being released as a Mindstorms set this year & the Jawa
sandcrawler having the same visibility problems as the republic cruiser, my
bet is on a summer 2001 Naboo Cruiser. I doubt we'll see any Ep1 sets after
2001, given that TLC will be busy with the Ep2 stuff in 2002.
There's that "other" speeder, the Gian variety. Could be a $10 set. A
destroyer droid or two would be a $6 set. The Coruscant transports are not
very interesting to the target audience, I'd say.
A larger Naboo playset seems like a likely case, provided that the Watto set
is a sucess.

Yes, if the current UCS sets provide sufficient RoI, TLC would probably give
us some UCS Ep1 stuff, my guess would still be the Naboo fighter & the AAT
(one good, one evil, both have a fairly high recognition factor & would be
fun to build; also easy to keep to scale without too much of a hassle &
given the target audience for these ones, I suspect scale is important).

| (...) Nah, the Sandcrawler is *way* more visible than the republic cruiser. Both in screen time (including the scenes set in front of the tracks), and in terms of importance to the plot. Steve (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| You bother about screen time? LEGO obviously does not. How long was the Sith Infiltrator's appearance in the movie? 6 seconds - at best ... Burkhard (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
