Year Released

Rarity
Uncommon. This figure only appeared in a single set (75102) during the initial Force Awakens wave. While not exclusive in a promotional sense, its limited set placement makes it harder to find complete than standard troopers.
Head
Missing in image. Originally: Light Flesh, frown/grimace expression, with a specialized Dark Green Rebel Flight Helmet/Headset component.
Torso
Medium Nougat with detailed Resistance ground crew jumpsuit printing. Features silver buckles, grey straps, an orange ID/comm badge on the chest, and reddish-brown hands.
Legs
Medium Nougat with continuation of the jumpsuit printing. Features an orange stripe down the center and curved pocket/seam details on the hips and thighs.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally included a black lightsaber hilt (used as a tool handle) with translucent green/red cones used as signal marshaling wands.
Color Scheme
Primarily Medium Nougat (tan/brown) with accents of Orange, Dark Grey, and Silver metallic buckles.
Printing Details
High quality pad printing. The torso features intricate strap and buckle work that aligns well with the hip piece. The back should also contain strap printing and oxygen tank/pack detailing.
Variants
There are no major manufacturing variants for this specific design (sw0669), though it is part of a broader range of Rebel/Resistance ground crews featuring different headpieces.
Condition Notes
The torso and legs shown appear to be in good condition with minor play wear. Common issues include 'cracking' at the side of the torso from arm pressure and fading of the orange print on the legs.
Estimated Value
Current full value (complete) is $4.00 - $6.00 USD. In this incomplete state (missing head, helmet, and accessories), it is valued at approximately $1.50 - $2.50 USD.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 75102 Poe's X-Wing Fighter which retailed for $79.99 USD in 2015.
Compatible Sets
75102 Poe's X-Wing Fighter (2015).
Character Background
Resistance Ground Crew members are the unsung heroes of the Resistance bases (like D'Qar), responsible for refueling, repairing, and guiding X-wings and other starfighters during the war against the First Order.
Design Notes
The Medium Nougat color for the jumpsuit was a departure from the traditional grey/tan used for Rebel technicians in the original trilogy, reflecting the updated aesthetic of The Force Awakens.

Collectibility
Moderate. It is a 'background' character that completionist Star Wars collectors value for building base dioramas, but it has low individual investment potential compared to named Jedi or Sith.
History
Debuted as part of the massive global 'Force Friday' merchandise launch in September 2015. It represents LEGO's transition into modern high-detail printing for secondary characters.
Interesting Facts
The jumpsuit design is actually very screen-accurate to the costumes seen in the background of the Resistance base scenes, utilizing the then-relatively new Medium Nougat plastic color.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a dark grey landing pad baseplate next to Poe Dameron's black and orange X-Wing fighter to simulate a hangar scene.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' MOCs. The jumpsuit torso is generic enough to be used for civilian mechanics, wastelanders, or miners in other themes like City or Fallout-style builds.
Overall Assessment
This is a solid, detailed minifigure representative of the 2015 LEGO Star Wars era. However, in its current state, it is essentially 'parts' and requires a specific helmet and head to regain its value.
