Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While not a limited-edition promotional figure, it only appeared in one mid-range set which was retired after a standard shelf life.
Head
Unique molded head in Dark Tan representing the Ithorian species with dual eyestalks and a long neck and throat. It features detailed dark brown and tan printing for the eyes and skin texture.
Torso
Dark Tan with detailed printing of Jedi robes featuring tan armor plating, a dark blue central gem/medallion, and gold accenting. Back printing continues the robe and armor pattern. Light Bluish Gray hands.
Legs
Plain Tan standard legs with no printing.
Accessories
Originally includes a lightsaber with a chrome silver hilt and a lime green trans-bright green blade. (Missing in image provided).
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Dark Tan and Tan, with Light Bluish Gray hands and metallic gold/blue accents on the chest. This reflects the 'high-collared' Jedi look from the Old Republic era/Yoda Chronicles.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front/back) and intricate printing on the unique head mold. The head printing is remarkably aligned despite the complex 3D shape of the eyestalks.
Variants
There is only one variant of this specific Ithorian minifigure. It is distinct from the Ithorian character (Momaw Nadon) found in the 75052 Mos Eisley Cantina set from the same year.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the rubbery texture of the head which can attract dust or sustain bite marks. The light gray hands are prone to cracking if used with non-standard accessories.
Estimated Value
Used: $25 - $35 USD; New (taken from sealed set): $45+ USD. Prices have trended upward as specific 'Jedi' aliens are highly sought after for MOC (My Own Creations) builders.
Price (New)
The set it appeared in (75051) original retail price was $69.99 USD.

Character Background
This character is based on the Ithorian Jedi seen in the LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles animated specials. Ithorians, also known as 'Hammerheads,' are known for their dual-mouth physiology and peaceful nature.
Design Notes
The Ithorian head is one of LEGO's most impressive species molds. It uses a slightly softer plastic than standard heads to allow for the fine detail and the long neck which slides over the torso stud.
Similar Minifigures
Momaw Nadon (sw0568), Ithorian (Star Wars Cantina variant), Kit Fisto, and other alien Jedi Council members.
Collectibility
High. Alien Jedi are a popular niche for LEGO Star Wars collectors. This figure is particularly desirable because it is the only 'Jedi' version of an Ithorian ever released.
History
Released during the transition era where LEGO was producing original content like 'The Yoda Chronicles' alongside 'Star Wars Rebels.' This figure marked the debut of the Ithorian mold.
Interesting Facts
Despite having two mouths on either side of their neck in lore, the LEGO version simplifies this while maintaining the iconic profile perfectly. This is one of the few Jedi figures to feature a colored medallion on the chest.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other alien Jedi (like Plo Koon or Saesee Tiin) or in a Jedi Temple MOC. Use a tall display case to accommodate the extra height provided by the Ithorian neck.
Modification Potential
The head is often used by customizers to create a Momaw Nadon variant or other Ithorian civilians by swapping the Jedi torso for standard civilian or smuggler clothing.
Overall Assessment
A standout minifigure of the 2014 era. Its unique mold and specialized printing make it a centerpiece for any Star Wars collection. Rating: 9/10 for design and accuracy.
