Numerous sets, especially Star Wars, contain Technic parts without being
labeled Technic.
Could someone kindly explain what makes a Technic set Technic?
For example, the 8008 Star Wars Stormtrooper is labeled Technic, while the
8012 Super Battle Droid isn't. What distinguishes them, so that 8008 is

Similarly, quite a few Racers sets are mostly Technic, so why aren't they
labeled as such?
Thanks!
