Description

The birth of a villain

At the end of Revenge of the Sith, Anakin is left gravely injured on Mustafar after his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Palpatine recovers him and has him rebuilt in a medical facility, where his body is fitted with the black suit and helmet that audiences had known since 1977. The scene closes the circle between the prequels and the original trilogy, as the mask comes down and the familiar breathing begins. This set is dedicated to that single, pivotal moment rather than to a ship.

Built around its figures

With three minifigures and only 59 pieces, this is a set where the characters carry the story. The build itself is modest, and the parts list contains just 18 distinct elements, so many pieces are repeated. Light bluish grey, dark bluish grey, black and reddish brown are the main colours, giving the scene a cold, clinical feel that suits the film. The full list on this page shows every element with its colour and quantity.

Why collectors look for it

Many small Star Wars sets focus on vehicles, so a scene set like this stands out. It marks one of the key turning points in the whole saga and ties Episode III directly to the films that came before it. For younger fans, it is an easy way to act out the story, while collectors of the prequel era get a piece of 2005 that is not simply another vehicle. Displayed next to a set from the original trilogy, it makes the connection between the two eras clear.

Checking and reusing parts

Second-hand copies of older sets are often incomplete, so the parts list on this page is a handy reference when you are checking one. Missing elements can be identified by colour and part number, so a copy can be restored piece by piece. Grey and black elements are also useful stock for your own builds. The What can I build? tool compares your collection with other sets and shows which ones you could complete with what you already have.
