I seriously doubt they'll do a Star Destroyer, or the Mon Calimari Cruiser, or
even a blockade runner, unless they do them as a UCS set.  A proper mini-fig
scale Star Destroyer would be quite large, and quite expensive.  Basically it
would require a warehouse to store, and about three years to construct.  They
could possibly do the bridge of a Star Destroyer as a play set.  The Mon
Calimar Cruiser, though slightly smaller than the Star Destroyer, would still
be a rather large undertaking.  A mini-fig scale blockade runner would be
about 1/10 the size, but would still take a few hundred thousand pieces...

But did not Kenner do some capital ships for their figures that were not to
movie scale but still looked cool. Perhaps Lego could do the same. A small
Minifig Blockade Runner would still look awesome if built right. Who cares
about scale? A minifig does not have proportions that are human... And it would
be the only way we would ever see these ships available.

My 2 cents,
