[QUOTE="Woolyniner, post: 430187, member: 6784"] Although I cannot deny there maybe some truth in considering commercialisation of the film during the planning by Lucas/Disney I also think that it can be too easy to jump on every new vehicle and trooper and claim it is purely put in to generate new toys. If I wanted to sell a new film (which I suspect was Lucas's real primary aim) then I might well think I better put in a new type of Tie Fighter so the new film is still attractive to the old one so people still come to see it. I remember with the TPM a friend of mine criticised the pod race as a pure toy/computer game cash in. I think Lucas was more focused on what would be exciting and fresh for the new film. But he also knows anything he puts in that is exciting for the film, can sell other products, but I don't think that is the primary goal when writing the script. Maybe I'm naive. What would peoples reaction have been if all the star wars films had only one type of storm trooper, one type of tie fighter? Would Lucas have not been criticised for being unimaginative and stale?
