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.

Lego's gotta stretch the "original" line out until 2007, or seriously hope
that Eps II and III have lots and lots of different vehicles.  This being
the case, I suspect we'll see a UCS Sith Infiltrator along with the others
you've mentioned.  Of course if they only release two UCS sets a year (like
they did in 2000) that's only 14 more...

Lessee, 14... hmmm...

Millenium Falcon
TIE Fighter
A-Wing
B-Wing
Speeder Bike
Snow Speeder
AT-ST
AT-AT
Slave 1

that's 9, if we stretch:
TIE Bomber
Blockade Runner
Vader's TIE Fighter
Star Destroyer
Y-Wing

There... 14.  I suppose Lego can get by only doing "classic" UCS sets.  Of
course there's still a Medical Frigate, Mon Calamarian Cruiser, Dreadnaught
Transport (rebels escape in from Hoth,) Super Star Destroyer, Death Star, DS
2, Jawa Sandcrawler, Escape Pod, Landspeeder, and Bespin Cloud Car (did I
forget anything?) That brings the total up to 25.

Then there's the vehicles that make a cameo: Swoop Bike, T-16 Skyhopper,
Lars Family Speeder, and The Outrider.  That makes a total of 29 possible
UCS sets all from the "classic" line.  I didn't include the Ewok Hanglider
because I don't think it would be an effective UCS set, or the Imperial
Probe Droid (which would be awesome at about 1/10 scale, but I don't know if
Lego would do it.)  It's possible I forgot something, that was all I could
think of off the top of my head.

I personally hope that Lego does some Star Wars sculptures... I would love a
bust of Darth Vader, a Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, Yoda, or Darth Maul made out
of Legos... :)
