I really, really, really hope LEGO didn't think that a Stormtrooper was a
Robot. :-(.

I now know at least one 2001 set I won't be buying.

Boy oh boy, you called that right, and C3PO's not much better. I'm
surprised they made it past the QC department.  I think a cooler set would
have been a full-scale bust or helmet offered as a special model, like The
Statue of Liberty or the Minifig.  Perhaps even hollow to cut down on weight
and brick cost...

The only thing I like about C-3PO is they got his legs right.  He has a silver
leg!
