That's essentially how I see them. The Stormtrooper will be a great source of white Technic parts and C3P-0 has some interesting gold parts and gold decorated tiles. I don't find either design very appealing. Threepio works a little better because (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) My wife suprised me with the Pit Droid last Valentine's Day, and while I really like it for sentimental reasons, I've done just about nothing with the parts. I like to think of myself as "old school" in regards to Technic, but I'm sure that (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm not impressed with the designs either, but what does interest me is that there appears to be a new kind of Throwbot compatible piece in those sets. Look closely at the elbows and wrists of the stormtrooper. I'm guessing that its a Slizer (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) The 8457 Power Puller also has a good selection of these but I don't think that it comes with any decorative panels. It does have many of the other things you are looking for though. You could also try to get hold of an 8445 Indy Storm set; (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)
