One of the problems of the prequels is that the vehicle designs seem less memorable..
I'd say that's subjective. To my kids and many of their friends, the N-1, the Queen's starship, the Republic Gunship, the various Jedi fighters, the vulture droids, and droidekas are as Star Wars as X-wings and TIE fighters. I'm an old stinker like everyone else here and I love those designs -- if, for no other reason, that they're original. They're not just taking OT designs and reversing the colors or swapping out a few details for stuff pulled from McQuarrie concepts. But its all subjective.
Hopefully, Bandai is also monitoring the wave of enthusiasm from fans over the announcement that the Clone Wars is coming back. That news eclipsed anything else coming out of CCSD -- which is pretty impressive. I've said it before, a Bandai Republic Gunship would be met with many huzzahs here even from older Star Wars fans.
