What's in the Box 1,170 LEGO pieces and two instruction booklets.
The majority of the pieces come in shades of gray, so approaching construction requires a bit or organization and discipline. Our favorite features are the Palpatine mini figure -- complete with cloth cape and wrinkled brow -- the sliding gunner, the hidden Clone Trooper cockpit, the escape pod, the bomb dropper, and the Chancellor's enormous command center.
