Character Background
A Guardian of the Whills and longtime companion of Chirrut Îmwe, Baze is a freelance assassin turned rebel who participated in the Battle of Scarif in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Design Notes
LEGO used a standard head instead of a specialized mold for his hair/eyepatch, but the torso print successfully captures the complex 'scavenged' look of his movie costume.
Similar Minifigures
Chirrut Îmwe (sw0789), Cassian Andor (sw0790), Pao (sw0791), and Bodhi Rook (sw0792).
Collectibility
High demand among Star Wars collectors due to the character's popularity and the fact that he was only released in one set which is now retired.
History
Part of the initial 'Rogue One' wave in late 2016. This era marked a shift toward more complex, gritty printing styles for the Star Wars lineup.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a main character, he never appeared in another set, making him essential for completing the 'Rogue One' crew.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Chirrut Îmwe or in a Scarif beach MOC. UV protection is recommended to prevent the Dark Brown plastic from becoming brittle.
Modification Potential
The head part is frequently used by MOC builders for generic soldiers or pirates; the legs and torso are great for post-apocalyptic or steampunk customs.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure from the Rogue One line. Excellent printing and character accuracy make it a must-have for Star Wars completionists.
