Re:Screw the kids, LEGO for ME!
And my favorite, FBTB.net for all the Star Wars LEGO fans.
I've been involved there for a few years. Good discussions and custom ships from the Star Wars universe. (Plus, a good way to keep up on the LEGO sales!) -
Re:Star Wars status
Don't worry, Star Wars is staying on too according to a post made by Jake McKee, Community Development Manager which i submitted 2 days ago

Summary:

for more Star Wars Lego news I recommend From Bricks to Bothans -
Overpriced is unfortunately right....and that may be why the majority of Lego-set-purchasers I know (myself included) are over the age of 21 and purchasing them for themselves. With most of the sets that kids would actually be able to squeeze a decent amount of fun out of being over $40.00, and most of the affordable sets being so rinky-dink, a child given the choice would probably ask their parent for a comparably priced video game instead of a $50 Lego set.
I had (and dearly loved) piles of Legos when I was little, but most of those came as hand-me-downs in buckets. Maybe we can convince the folks at Lego to stop spending as much effort in producing new, specialized blocks for new, specialized sets with fancy graphics on their boxes and start selling things in buckets.
On another note, I bet that if someone were to set up a PayPal account to donate to the Lego corporation, that the mobs of Lego maniacs out there would be able to generate a significant amount of money for them.

No the K wing looks like a Star Fury
I think the Kwing looks like a Star Fury from Babylon 5.
Don't believe me compare and cantrast:
His K wing.
A picture of a Star Fury I found on the interweb. -
The S-Wing?
That S-Wing reminds me of Lone Star's Winnebago from Spaceballs
-
S-Wing look familiar?
Comparison: S-Wing
Lego Space Cruiser circa 1979
Busted. -

Re:Do all those pieces actually exist?
The really geek chique about the new ship designs is that the S-wing looks to be made entirely out of 'old skool' space lego pieces, circa 1980s
Hmmm... lets see...
The Q wing is the quake logo.
The C-wing is a kilrathi fighter.
The G-wing looks like its a Starfury from Babylon 5.
And the O-ring is just silly
Many of them do look pretty cool though.

Erm... there is a S-Wing.

Re:Do all those pieces actually exist?Yes, all those pieces do exist. A lot of them come from the official Star Wars lego, which does indeed feature a lot more custom bits.

Oh, and without custom moulded lego pieces we'd never have had the undersea set, and thus legocthulhu!
