    I'd go for the Tantive IV, though I still prefer the speeder bike just as there is a more 'active' connection.

    On the face, the escape pod/R2-D2 is obvious, and it did cross my mind, but the fact that it is something of a 'passive' (in the sense that it is not particularly piloted or controlled by Artoo and few or no others) vehicle led me to discount it. However, there aren't really any others, so I can happily pay that one.

    Never thought of the Star Skiff for Threepio, though I probably didn't consider it since it comes from *that* trilogy, not the real one.

    Leia as Tantive IV would be easier to execute without making her a shellformer as the colours are more similar to match. Bikes are always difficult and configuring a primarily brown speeder bike into a mostly green-camouflage robot wouldn't be easy. :/ They could do Leia as both the Tantive IV and the Speeder Bike (after all we have Luke as an X-Wing and Snowspeeder).

    They could even retool it half a dozen times like they did with the Jedi Starfighter.
    You could have Leia, Luke, Imperial Scout Trooper, and if you stretch it Wicket the Ewok
