I've only heard of the sandcrawler.
There is a UCS TIE/In. but that was like, years ago. Haven't heard of a reg. one.
A picture of the Naboo Royal Cruiser has been orbiting brickshelf for a while, a long while, it was just a kool edit by some one down at FBTB[a forum] and was done in original EpI packaging; though still managed to fool so many bzpers for some reason.
LEGO will have the SW license for a while yet, so the possibilties are endless.

I have Darth Maul, but when I tried to get a weapon in one of his hands the hand broke. That hand however is really great for the Force.
My list:
-Ultimate Saber Duel (I have a question about this one: does it come with any other figs beside Anakin and Obi?)
-Clone Turbo Tank
-Wookie Catamaran
-GG Chase and Vader Transformation are tied
-Scout Walker
-Anakin's Starfighter

Thanks. One last question, I have heard that the Naboo Royal Cruiser (7090), the TIE Interceptor (4797), and the Sandcrawler (10144) were being made as sets is this true?
-KE |
No, no, and yes. (To my knowledge.) If you saw a picture of the Royal Cruiser on Brickshelf, that happens to be an extremely well-done MOC that the creator made box art for as well. TIE Interceptor's never been more than speculation (and, again, a lot of people have made MOCs of it by altering the official TIE models). The Sandcrawler, though, will be a set this year (either late summer or fall, possibly October). It'll be over 100 dollars and still minifig scale. From what I hear, we'll be getting figs of Uncle Owen, C-3PO, R2-D2, three other droids (random background character-ish, made from regular LEGO elements), and two Jawas.

There are MINI TIE Interceptors, you know...
Here is a review of the Jedi Starfighter & Vulture Droid set.
BOX
Not very good art. Anakin looks like a doll more than a minifig on the box, and only the top tells you you get a lightsaber with him.
PARTS
Very impressive! This was my first System set in a while so it took me a bit long to build (I can't wait for the Juggernaut!), but the instructions were easy to follow.
INTERESTING POINTS ON THE BOX AND PARTS
I think you'll probably know this already but there are no instructions for the alternate models on the back of the box. R2-D2 is not the full version, you just get his head, but what really got me was that LEGO didn't bother to even condider putting in a turntable plate for the head to swivel. Oh well.
PLAY VALUE
JS: Very good! Lots of detail and the opening wings make a nice touch. Landing gear too.
VD: Great fun to pretend it's flying but it oesn't really do anything apart from turning it to walking mode, and that alone requires the dissassembly of ten different pieces and putting them back together in different places, and moving the wings! But it's a great design, at least it wasn't made by a designer who had had about five parts thrown at him by the manager and being told "Make something out of these that we can sell for fifteen quid".
A FEW NOTES FROM LITTLE OLD ME
It's a pity they only d Anakin's Jedi Starfighter. I supose I should write to LEGO and ask them for some red JS parts.
THE FINGER OF CHOICE
What can I say t make you lot go out there and [SIZE=14]
BUY THIS FREAKIN' GREAT SET?[SIZE=1]
Have I said enough?

I have a question on the AT-RT (Clone Scout Trooper). On the back of the instruction booklet, it shows these two modles. One that's like a Starfighter and one like a scorpian crawler thing. Does anybody know how to make these OR a link to instructions to make these? 'Cause they look really really cool..... Thanks in advance.

I actuall built the starfighter/speeder, but just by looking closely at the picture and guessing on the parts. But I could try to get you pictures of the different parts for you. But just for the speeder one.

Okay, heres my list of Ep III sets so far:
- Clone turbo tank (juggernaut)
- 3 Jedi Starfighter and Vulture droids
- 2 AT-RTs
- Ultimate lightsaber duel
- 2 Tri-Fighters
- 2 General Grievous Chases
- Darth Vader transformation
All I need is the Wookie Attack, Wookie Catamaran, and the ARC-170 starfighter.
By the way, what star wars mini-figure would you like the most? mine would probably be a General Grievous with four arms and four light-up lightsabers.

LEGO seem to have juniorized almost all of the ROTS (Revenge Of The Sith) sets' names.
The Clone Scout Walker is supposed to be called the AT-RT
The tank in Wookie Attack is supposed to be called the CAD
The brown ship in Wookie Attack is supposed to be called the Republic Gunner
The Clone Turbo Tank is supposed to be called the Juggernaut
Jedi Starfighters are really Jedi Interceptors
Wookies are really Battle Droids
The Vulture Droid has to be slightly dismantled to change to walking mode
The Astromech Droid in the ARC-170 needs to have a piece moved to work in the ship properly
And who's crazy idea was it that the Jugernaut pilots argue about which end of the Juggernaut is the right end? I have a few reasons to settle the argument that it's the end closest to the scout tower.
1. It moves that way in 'Revenge Of The Brick'
2. It doesn't have a cockpit at both ends
3. In all the pictures, it is seen moving that way
4. It can go the other way, it's called the reverse gear
That's all from me for now.

Um..It was the people who wrote the Star Wars: Episode III Incredible Cross-Sections book. No, of course not, but that is where you can find that statement. The member who posted that quoted the thing straight from the book. Don't believe every picture you see of the Juggernaut for Lego; certainly, an error was made in placing Mace Windu in that set.

My brother wanted the Grievous chase, I convinced him out of it.
I planned on having a Battle of Kashyyyk, buying the Wookiee Attack set, Clone Walker, and Wookiee Catamaran, making it sort of even, but it didn't work. We need more droid sets, so I think my brother'll get another Wookiee Attack so we can have a battle. And the Turbo Tank...we didn't even go there. Too much money, and would completely turn the tide of the battle.
I didn't want any space sets, although the ARC and the Tri-Fighter look cool.
And seems as if I'm definitely gonna want the Sandcrawler when it comes out, it looks terrific.

In ROTS, Anakin does get his non mechanical arm cut off and his legs but LEGO includes a whole minifig. Why? The younger kids buying that set would not understand why they got a half a minifig that is missing an arm. Hence, LEGO gave a whole minifig.
Kudos to LEGO for making good sets though,
