Year Released
2017: Released as part of the Episode VIII product wave alongside the theatrical release of The Last Jedi.
Rarity
Uncommon: Exclusive to a single mid-range set (75202 Defense of Crait), making him harder to find than mass-release grunts.
Head
Light Flesh, dual-sided printing with a grim expression and an angry shouting expression, featuring a prominent white and dark tan beard and hair line.
Torso
Dark Tan with Resistance officer uniform printing, including a Rank Insignia Tile (four red dots, one blue), vertical seams, and a dark brown belt.
Legs
Dark Tan with pocket and seam printing; notice that this specific image shows a customization/error as it uses camo-printed legs not original to sw0856.
Accessories
Originally included a small black blaster pistol and a trans-clear dish for the command center. Accessories are missing in this image.
Color Scheme
Dominant Dark Tan and Light Flesh, with accents of Dark Brown and silver/red for the rank insignia.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso and head; the head printing is particularly detailed due to the complex beard pattern.
Variants
This is the only version of General Ematt produced by LEGO to date. No other rank or uniform variants exist.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to torso cracks on the sides. The head printing for the beard can show rub-wear over time; this unit appears to have swapped legs.
Estimated Value
Used (Complete): $5-$8 USD. Used (Incomplete/Mixed parts): $3-$4 USD. New: $10-$12 USD.
Price (New)
Retail set 75202 Defense of Crait sold for $84.99 USD in 2017.

Character Background
Major/General Ematt was a veteren of the Rebel Alliance and served as a high-ranking intelligence officer for the Resistance during the sequel trilogy.
Design Notes
The beard printing is a clever way to simulate his aged look without a separate hair/beard mold, maintaining a sleek profile for helmet compatibility.
Similar Minifigures
Resistance Trooper (sw0662), Admiral Ackbar (sw0719), General Leia Organa (sw0718).
Collectibility
Moderate: Essential for completionists of the Resistance army or Crait scene builders, but not as high-demand as main cast Jedis.
History
Represents the evolution of 'extra' characters receiving unique prints rather than generic heads, a trend that peaked during the 2015-2019 era.
Interesting Facts
The character was played by actor Andrew Jack, who was also the dialect coach for many of the actors in the Star Wars and LOTR films.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Crait trench scene with Resistance Troopers inside a glass case to prevent dust on the detailed face print.
Modification Potential
High for MOCs: The torso is excellent for generic custom Star Wars officers or Rebel command staff.
Overall Assessment
A solid, movie-accurate secondary character. Note: The legs in the provided image are definitely from a different figure (likely a Jurassic World or City jungle figure).
