    the future of the star wars line —Jonathan Lill
   this is speculation on my part but concerns things I like to think about while waiting for new sets to come out. I do not consider myself a builder, but mainly a set collector and so I like to think about what sets Lego is most likely to come out (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: the future of the star wars line —Dave Schuler
     (...) Hey, that reminds me. In Empire, when Han and Chewie confront the Probe Droid and blow it up, how did they get to and from the encounter site? And how far from the base were they? Dave! (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
    
         Re: the future of the star wars line —Jonathan Lill
     (...) Not very far from base as the probe droid had already transmitted images of the power generator back to the imperials (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: the future of the star wars line —Thomas Weigle
     (...) 200 pieces is at least twice the price, given the price per piece. Yes, from our perspective it might be a mistake. I'm sure loads of kids will like it, though. (...) Actually, given the release pattern so far, wouldn't the most logical big (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
    
         Re: the future of the star wars line —Jonathan Lill
     (...) Twice the price will still only be $20 or so. And kids may like it but it has disappointed a large portion of their audience. (...) The royal cruiser is a good bet for the next major set since it would have to include the Queen( and isn't her (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
    
         Re: the future of the star wars line —Thomas Weigle
      (...) Twice the price, or $20, can be too much when we're looking at gifts-to-get-the-kid...oy-section consumer goods... Besides, a correction. It has disappointed a SMALL portion of their audience. While important to TLG for several reasons (ideas, (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

      (...) And, lest we all forget, it didn't disappoint even all the people here. I quite like it. eric (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

          Re: the future of the star wars line —Mike Petrucelli
       <snip> You forgot the Imperial Shuttle. While I think their System Imperial Shuttle is really awesome (and at a $30 price point too!) I would love one of these in UCS scale. Of course my dream would be for an unlikely $250ish Star Destroyer. -Lord (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
      
           Re: the future of the star wars line —Bryan Hodges
       (...) OMG! How could I have forgotten the Imperial Shuttle? It's my *favorite* ship from the entire SW Universe! Sheesh, I must be losing it. Yes, most definately, a UCS Shuttle is a MUST. The world without one is a cruel dark place. A UCS Star (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
      
           Re: the future of the star wars line —Matt Sekerak
       I second that! The Imperial Shuttle is by far the coolest SW ship around...a UCS version is a must after the somewhat disappointing duplo version TLG just made public (7166). Who out there would be a lot more excited about the 2001 shuttle if it (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
      
           Re: the future of the star wars line —Bryan Hodges
       (...) Hehehe... duplo... <G> I actually like the Shuttle Lego's putting out, I think it will work well with the rest of the SW Line... but I agree, the fuselage is kind of poor, and I'm a bit disappointed in the tail fin, it should be a solid color.

          Re: the future of the star wars line —Steve Bliss
       (...) Okay, that was some heavy snippage. A UCS Y-Wing would be so awesome! If it was the same scale as the X-Wing, it would be 56cm, or 22in, or 76studs. :) Any ship from EP4 (the original, not the Special Edition) is more 'important' than almost (...)

           Re: the future of the star wars line —Bryan Hodges
       (...) Well, I dunno about that... the TIE Interceptor wasn't in EP4, in fact I'm pretty sure it didn't appear until EP6... but we've got a UCS set for it. EP4 just had regular TIEs and Vader's TIE. EP5 had TIEs and Bombers. EP6 had TIEs and (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
      
           Re: the future of the star wars line —Jeff Jardine
       (...) I think they might appear very briefly in one scene in ESB. About 20 minutes into the movie, Vader is looking out a window in his star destroyer when two TIEs fly by, following different paths. They both have angled wings, like Vader's TIE (...)

        This would be great! —David Simmons
     It sure would be great if TLG actually did a set of the Queen's Starship in chrome, but I'm sure they'll chicken out and make it gray. Dave (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
