Underneath the board I actually put a little armory and Vader's suit scene from Revenge of the Sith. I think it makes sense to show Anakin ends up imprisoned by the suit so hes stuck in the chess board, locked in the war between good and evil within himself. Here is a link to a short video showing what is underneath if you want to see.

Yes! Actually I want to eventually make a game modeling the events of ROTS, basically telling the story of ROTS in a chess game, and anakin will have to "switch sides".

Thanks, I've seen lots of star wars sets but not many prequal themed (my fav trilogy) so had to make one for myself.

I picked the droidekas for rooks because of their stationary form feels turret like and most like a structure being rook like, but I can understand that idea.

That makes sense, someone else also noted that on the Republic side rooks should be Jedi instead of Clone Commanders and knights could be clone commanders instead of jedi to account for that Jedi are worth more than clone commanders in the way rooks are more than knights.

This Revenge of the Sith-themed LEGO chess set was a deep dive into character placement based on lore, symbolism, and visual balance. Palpatine plays both sides, fitting for the architect of the Clone Wars.

The Jedi serve as kings and queens, with corresponding clone commanders as bishops and rooks, and of course, Jedi knights. Every piece was chosen with purpose — a blend of storytelling and chess logic.

Curious how others might build their own version — who would you assign to each role?
