The set is very nice....I like your placement of players on the "light side".
I especially like R2 and C3PO's placement as "bishops" and the fighters as
the "rooks". Good choice to have gungans (jar-jars) as the "pawns".
On the dark-side, I like the placement over-all, except the droidekans as the
"bishops"....I suppose it isn't your fault, but isn't it a shame you can't
use the neimoidians, as the "dark-side advisors".
Having darth maul, and qui-gon as the "knights" mounted was also cool....as
well as the individual piece construction....
