Character Background
Obi-Wan Kenobi as seen in Revenge of the Sith, specifically during his pursuit of General Grievous on Utapau.
Design Notes
Significant for being the first Obi-Wan to include the pilot's headset, reflecting the opening space battle and the Utapau chase scenes.
Similar Minifigures
sw0493 (No headset), sw1096 (2020 version), sw0197 (Clone Wars version).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a specific movie-accurate variant that collectors of Revenge of the Sith scenes prioritize.
History
Follows the evolution from the 'classic' yellow-skinned Obi-Wan (2005) to the more modern, detailed flesh-toned era that began in the mid-2000s and peaked in detail around 2014.
Interesting Facts
The headset printed on the face is a specific nod to the military-style comms used by Jedi during the Clone Wars.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a 75040 Wheel Bike scene or alongside a General Grievous minifigure (sw0515) for a duel vignette.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; the head is often used for modern pilot or technician MOCs due to the headset print.
Overall Assessment
A solid, movie-accurate figure. While not the most expensive Obi-Wan, it is essential for completeness of the 2014 wave collectors.
