I don't consider the chome exterior to be part of the list of "attractions".
While I'd love a pile of chrome bricks, the hull of the Nubian ship is
smooth and sleek, and I don't think they'd do it that way. We'd wind up
with a chrome SPUD hull.

Perhaps the Royal Palace would be better; it'd be a large set, would have
those characters plus perhaps Darth Maul and the two Jedi to battle over
a pit, maybe even some minifig scale destroyer droids. You only really
need a few rooms-- one near the top for the final showdown with Amidala,
a hallway through the middle with columns to hide behind (and a winch hanging
out from the above level...), and one down below with some area for a small
hangar and a pit to duel over. Probably similar in constuction to the Bat
Lord's Tower set, just to annoy those of us who want real bricks in our
sets... :)
