Revenge of the Sith LEGO Sets

LEGO Revenge of the Sith

Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith was the third film released by Lucasfim in the prequal Trilogy.  LEGO released the Revenge of the Sith LEGO Sets based on the films scenes and ships.

Many of these Star Wars LEGO Sets are no longer available for purchase from LEGO or through LEGO retailers.  However, it is still possible to find Star Wars LEGO Sets.

The following is a comprehensive list of to-date released Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith LEGO Sets:

Clone Scout Walker 7250 LEGO Set

LEGO Clone Scout Walker 7250

The Clone Scout Walker 7250 LEGO Set is part of  Episode III: Revenge  Of  The Sith LEGO Sets and was released in 2005. This set includes one Recon Trooper. The Clone Scout Walker 7250 LEGO Set does not appear in a search at LEGO.com and may no longer be available for purchase from LEGO.

This is one of the most owned Star Wars LEGO sets. Most Star Wars LEGO collectors own multiple of this set because of how affordable this set is and how easy  it is to put together. The biggest problem with the Clone Scout Walker 7250 LEGO Set  is  the legs do not move easily at all and are prone to coming loose. You can also De-attach the part that the Clone sits on and use it as a hover bike which is my favorite feature. A great add to any Star Wars LEGO collection.

V-Wing Fighter 6205 LEGO Set

LEGO V-Wing Fighter 6205

The V-Wing Fighter 6205 LEGO Set is part of  Episode III: Revenge  Of  The Sith LEGO Sets and was released in 2005. This set includes One Clone Pilot and One R4 droid minifigure. The V-Wing Fighter 6205 does not appear in a search at LEGO.com and may no longer be available for purchase from LEGO.

The V-Wing Fighter 6205 LEGO Set is most popular because of the Ship and it's design. The fact that you are able to position the wings and flaps into attack mode or flight mode is what won me over. The only down side is that the Astromech Droid only has a head and no body. This set is easy to put together which means more time to play! A great addition for any Star Wars LEGO collector.

Hailfire Droid and Spider 7670

LEGO Hailfire Droid and Spider 7670

The Hailfire Droid and Spider Droid 7670 Star Wars LEGO Set is part of the Episode II: Attack of the Clones LEGO Sets and was released in 2002. This set includes two basic battle droids, one battle droid commander, one super battle droid, one dwarf spider droid, and one hailfire droid. The Hailfire Droid and Spider Droid 7670 LEGO Set does show  in a search at LEGO.com and is available for purchase from LEGO at the time of this writing.

The Hailfire Droid and Spider Droid 7670 LEGO set is a great set to have for the price. Although the missiles won't flick too far, having the Commander Droid included in the set makes it well worth it. The Spider legs seem flimsy at first glance but are surprisingly sturdy. The only big problem is that the hailfire's treads tend to  break often and are not  easy to fix. Over all this is a  great addition to your Star Wars LEGO collection.

Republic Gunship 7163 LEGO Set

The Republic Gunship 7163 Star Wars LEGO Set is part of the Episode II: Attack of the Clones LEGO Sets and was released in 2002.  The Republic Gunship includes eight Star Wars LEGO Minifigures.  These are: four Clone Troopers, Jedi Knight, Super Battle Droid and two Droidekas.  The Republic Gunship 7163 does not appear in a search at LEGO.com and may no longer be available for purchase through LEGO.

The Republic Gunship is really a great set.  The Minifigures are a huge addition to any collection and the Gunship itself is a fantastic build.  I love the magnets used in the ship and the way it opens up and turns into a command center makes the Republic Gunship 7163 fun to play with.

Jango Fett's Slave I is one of the more popular Star Wars themed LEGO Sets among collectors.  This LEGO set is very difficult to find and the LEGO Star Wars figures included are considered some of the more rare LEGOs that have ever been created.  This LEGO Set is a must have for any Star Wars LEGO fan.

The Jedi Starfighter 7143 Star Wars LEGO Set is part of the Episode II: Attack of the Clones LEGO Sets and was released in 2002.  Jedi Starfighter includes two Star Wars LEGO Minifigures, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and R4-P17.  Jedi Starfighter does not appear in a search at LEGO.com and may no longer be available for purchase from LEGO.

An older set, the Jedi Starfighter 7143 LEGO Set does not get rave reviews from Collectors.  It is not exactly sturdy and it seems a bit to "pixelated."  There are several places online that offer rebuild or upgrade instructions for this LEGO set.  All in all it is not on my list of must-own Star Wars LEGO sets but for colletors who are serious, you cannot leave it out.

Bounty Hunter Pursuit 7133 LEGO Set

A great LEGO set, especially if you enjoy the line of Star Wars Minifigures.  They Bounty Hunter Pursuit LEGO Set includes two speeders with Anakins being one of the more creative I have seen.  It adds plenty of flavor, not only to this set, but other LEGO sets that have a town-like atmosphere.

Tusken Raider Encounter 7113 LEGO Set

The Tusken Raider Encounter 7113 Star Wars LEGO Set is part of the Episode II: Attack of the Clones LEGO Sets and was released in 2002.  This LEGO Set includes 3 Star Wars LEGO Minifigures, two Tusken Raiders and Anakin Skywalker.  The Tusken Raider Set does not appear in a search at LEGO.com and may no longer be available for purchase through LEGO.

A great set to own, the Tusken Raider minifigures are pretty rare and an awesome addition to your Star Wars LEGO Minifigure collection.  The speeder is not great but Anakin is nice to have and the sand background can work for lots of things.

Everyone needs this Star Wars LEGO Set added to their collection.  Jedi Duel 7103 with Yoda and Count Dooku is a fairly simple, smaller set, but the scene is one of the better from the movie and the Yoda Minifigure is an absolute must.
