Description

Hero and opponent together

Many small sets give you a single vehicle and leave you to find an enemy elsewhere. Set 7256 takes a better approach by including both: a nimble Jedi interceptor and one of the Separatist Vulture droids that swarm it. Because the 203 pieces are split across two builds, each model is compact, which suits younger builders and crowded shelves alike. The single minifigure flies the starfighter, while the droid, being an automated fighter, needs no crew at all.

Above Coruscant

In the opening minutes of Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi fly their Jedi starfighters into a huge battle to rescue the captured Chancellor. Vulture droids, the Separatists' unmanned fighters that can also walk on their folded wings, harass them throughout. It is one of the most crowded space scenes in the saga, full of fast turns and near misses. With both craft in hand, you can recreate a slice of that chase straight out of the box.

Unusual variety

The set uses 93 unique elements across 203 pieces, a high proportion that reflects the two very different designs inside. Few parts repeat, so the build stays lively from start to finish. Dark bluish grey and light bluish grey lead the colour list, with black and yellow as supporting shades. Yellow fits Anakin's starfighter, which appears in that colour in the film. The parts list on this page shows exactly how the colours are distributed across both models.

A varied parts pack

Because so few elements repeat, this set works well as a source of shapes rather than bulk. Yellow pieces are handy for markings on your own starfighters, and the greys and connectors fit almost any spacecraft. If you want to know which official sets your collection can already rebuild, try the What can I build? feature on this page. It also highlights sets that are only a few pieces away, and the parts list helps you complete either model here if something is missing.
