Description

The turning point of the prequels

Revenge of the Sith reaches its tipping point when Anakin Skywalker reveals that Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord. Mace Windu leads a group of Jedi to Palpatine's office on Coruscant to take him into custody, and the confrontation that follows, together with Anakin's choice, sets the fall of the Jedi Order in motion. It is a scene rather than a vehicle, and that makes 9526 quite different from most sets in the range.

Why the cast matters

With 6 minifigures, the set has enough characters to recreate the showdown properly, with both sides of the conflict represented. Scene-based sets rely on their figures more than ship sets do, because the drama comes from the people involved. For play, that means a ready-made story to act out or rewrite. For collectors, it means characters from one of the saga's pivotal episodes, gathered together in a single box rather than spread across several releases.

A darker palette

Light bluish grey, dark bluish grey, black and dark red make up the main colours. The dark red suits the deep red tones of Palpatine's office in the film, and it gives the set a warmer, more sinister feel than the white and grey ships that fill much of the Star Wars range. Dark red pieces are also relatively scarce in bulk, so they are worth keeping for your own builds, from interiors to starship trim.

Size, variety and inventory

649 pieces with 179 unique parts is a mid-sized build with a high degree of variety, so there is little repetition along the way. The complete inventory appears further down this page, sorted by part and colour, which is useful when checking a second-hand copy or ordering a missing element. You can also use What can I build? to compare the pieces with other models and discover what your collection could turn them into, whether that is another Coruscant interior or something entirely your own.
