The sci-fi adventure of Star Wars wraps up in the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith movie on May 18, 2005, but you can play the epic battles at home with the Revenge of the Sith expansion for the Star Wars Miniatures game from Wizards of the Coast on April 2, 2005! We have the scoop on this expansion for the super-cool strategy game, the starter and booster packs as well as some pictures!

Star Wars Miniatures Game Basics

The Star Wars Miniatures game started out with the Rebel Storm set for the old-school movie fans, then dropped the Clone Strike set with figs from all the new movies. Now it's bringing the Episode III movie to life. The sets let you build teams of Star Wars movie characters and battle with your friends. For reviews of the first two sets, check 'em out here.

Star Wars Miniatures: Revenge of the Sith Expansion Facts

The new Revenge of the Sith expansion has 60 new figs to expand your game. There's Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous for starters, plus more of the heroes and villains from the movie. The big news though is that, because the movie is all about Anakin Skywalker's fall from the Light side to the Dark side of the Force, there's a Light side "Anakin" fig and a Dark side "Darth Vader" fig. The set drops on April 2, 2005 but, with any luck, we'll have more info on it before then!
