^^ Luke is in the 9496 Desert Skiff set

Yes, and isnt he also in the Rancor set?

Yes but it's a match for Jabba's Palace, a set which he is not included in.

I'm having a hard time getting excited about anything in this summer wave. I think I've been collecting Star Wars long enough that vehicles are being remade. Not interested in the new AT-TE, Gunship, Sail Barge, et al.

Don't know how I'll feel about Man of Steel sets. We'll see when pictures come out.

@Hardrada Ok, thanks!

I was actually questioning @monkeyhanger's notion that Luke was included in the barge itself, which he doesn't appear to be.

Y2josh: I could've sworn that when searching for the pics on another site, a description had Luke there, but I didn't see it on the blurry pics. Going to look to see where I read it.

Aha! Jedinews.co.uk reports figs of Luke, slave Leia, R2, barada and max rebo (no mention of Jabba!). Not saying its right, but its what I saw. There is a bigger pic on flcker where Luke looks like 3rd fig from left, and Jabba is there. From left to right it looks like max rebo, one I don't recognise (barada?), luke, R2, leia, jabba. The blocky ramp-like nose and overall small form of the barge looks very poor. Perhaps the prelim pics aren't real, why would luke need to be in here, rancor set and skiff?

From left to right, the figs are Max Rebo, presumably Barada (who shouldn't be on the barge at all... but I guess he's the easy choice since they already had a Klatooinian head printed for Kithaba), Ree-Yees, R2 w/tray, Leia and Jabba. As to the model itself, if that's even near the final product, it's pretty mind-boggling that LEGO would redesign the skiff on such a larger and more detailed scale and then choose to shrink The Khettana down in such a poor fashion.
