Character Background
A legendary traveler and explorer on Jakku, loyal to the New Republic and member of the Church of the Force; played by Max von Sydow
Design Notes
Captures the weathered look of the character effectively using a monochromatic tan palette; the hair mold was relatively new at the time
Similar Minifigures
General Leia Organa (sw0718), Admiral Ackbar (sw0719), and other Resistance figures from the Sequel Trilogy era
Collectibility
Moderate; essential for 'The Force Awakens' completionists but limited by the character's short screen time
History
Debuted during the first wave of sets following the release of Episode VII; represents LEGO's shift toward high-detail movie-accurate printing
Interesting Facts
Despite being an important character for the plot of the film, he only appeared in one set which was a limited-release variant of the X-Wing
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Poe Dameron and BB-8 in a Jakku village scene or within a Star Wars character lineup case
Modification Potential
The hair piece and head are popular for custom elderly figures or historical civilian MOCs
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed licensed figure that accurately depicts a minor but pivotal character; a 'buy' for Star Wars completionists before prices rise further
