Just hope there will be at least a few NEW kits, not just rereleases. .144 Razor Crest, .144 Resistance Bomber, .144 Sandcrawler, .72 Mando N1, .72 TIE Bomber would be high on my list

If it is a new kit, my money would be on a 1/72 Mando N-1 as a marketing tie-in to the upcoming season 3. They could, in theory, re-pop the Boba Fett kit in a BOBF box, but aside from the helmet they'd need to remake nearly the entire kit to reflect Boba's (how does one say it) physical expansion. Possible, but unlikely.
On the "I can dream" side, Lucasfilm IS putting a little effort (very little) into marking the 20th anniversary of AOTC. I can see them re-pop the Jedi starfighter mini-kit, flying R2, and the clonetrooper in new anniversary boxes. Maybe an outside chance for a new AOTC kit (I'll believe it when I can buy it) like the Republic gunship or Anakin's speeder.

They may very well gives us an Mando N-1, but in the vehicle collection line similar to the Jedi Starfighter and Razor Crest

Undoubtedly. Definitely more plausible than 1/72, but as small ship vehicles go 1/72 would be right in their wheelhouse. They could do two versions, like the Mando figure kit -- chrome and no chrome -- but, yeah, if I were a betting man I'd put my chips on vehicle scale.

Even if they just re-released everything they've already done, they'd make a killing. People will be buying speeder bike kits (at least) 2 at a time.

Probably more box scale kits, huzzah!

My hopes are high for a 1/144 Imperial Shuttle. Of course there is a chance to get these:
1. compact size
2. fancy flashing colours
3. many re-usable parts to mix and match
4. fit in a Surprise Egg (could be packaged as blind-box to collect them all)

True, but they could fudge the scale up a little like they did with the A-Wing. It would be small, but that seems to be Bandai's jam.
It's fun to be speculating about Bandai again, though.

FYI, the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer just dropped. There's an outside chance Bandai has some tie-in kits to the series. Hope survives...

Don't even joke about that! With the amount of time we've waited for some kits like a TIE Bomber, Blockade Runner, etc. I can see them giving us some dumb kits like those. OTOH, they did seem to get the lack of any interest in the Sequel ships and wisely steered clear.

Yeah, that Inquisitor Shuttle has a nice look.FYI, the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer just dropped. There's an outside chance Bandai has some tie-in kits to the series. Hope survives...
Wouldn't mind if they go back and come up with the Bad Batch shuttle either. As for show related, I bet they come up with a rerealesed Boba Slave I with box art from BOBF and a possible new base with the Sarlacc mouth
So, Bandai will have some announcement on March 15th regarding Star Wars kits:
