Mainly white and tan with brown accents, intended to mimic the desert attire of Tatooine.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing including detailed leg wraps that extend to the sides, a notable upgrade over earlier versions of this outfit.
Variants
This is the 'detailed legs' version. Earlier variants (sw0715, sw0021) have plain white legs or simpler hip printing only.
Condition Notes
Check for torso cracks under the arms and print wear on the leg wraps. White plastic is prone to yellowing if exposed to UV light.

Collectibility
High. As the main protagonist of the original trilogy with unique upgraded leg printing, it is a staple for Star Wars collectors.
History
Based on the 1999 original design but modernized with flesh tones in 2004 and high-detail leg printing in 2021.
Interesting Facts
The inclusion of this specific 'common' costume in a high-priced UCS Republican Gunship (a Prequel set) was controversial among fans during its release.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a Mos Eisley Cantina MOC or placed on the display stand of the UCS Republic Gunship.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; the legs are the best existing official parts for any desert-themed farmer or Jedi paduwan.
Overall Assessment
A superior version of the most iconic Star Wars outfit, highly recommended for its improved leg printing compared to cheaper set versions.
