Mini Wookiee Attack

Description

The Wookiee homeworld under attack

In Revenge of the Sith, the Separatist droid army invades Kashyyyk, and the Wookiees fight back alongside clone troopers and Master Yoda. It is one of the last big battles of the Clone Wars before Order 66 turns the clones against the Jedi. The sequence also gives fans a glimpse of a younger Chewbacca fighting for his home. The name of this small set points straight to that clash, capturing a piece of it in a compact model.

Mini scale, quick build

At 48 pieces, this is a small, straightforward build that younger fans can manage on their own. Mini models like this reduce a subject to its essentials, so each part carries a lot of the shape. The finished piece is easy to display on a desk or to tuck in beside other models from the prequel era. For collectors of older sets, it is a reminder of 2005, when the release of Revenge of the Sith brought a wave of new Star Wars models.

An uncommon palette

Dark bluish grey leads the parts list, followed by black, sand blue and dark blue. Sand blue in particular is not a colour you see often in Star Wars sets, which gives this model a slightly unusual, muted look. There are 20 distinct elements among the 48 pieces, and no minifigures. The blue shades mix well with greys and can add subtle colour to your own builds once the set is taken apart.

Getting a used copy complete

Older sets like this one often turn up with a piece or two missing. The parts list on this page shows all 20 distinct elements with their colour and quantity, so you can check a second-hand copy carefully and find the numbers for any replacements. The What can I build? feature then compares your collection with other sets and shows which ones you could already build with the parts you have.
