Ecosystem

Jedi Interceptor (Anakin Skywalker set) — Anakin torso and hair reused but new head and cape in this set; Episode 3 version considered upgrade

TCW Mace Windu — Not dramatically different; mainly head swap from TCW version to pupilled variant

TCW Saesee Tiin — New version significantly better; same head and torso but different arm and hand colors; reviewer prefers Episode 3 variant

TCW Palpatine — Much better on nearly every level; only lacks shoulder capes from original
