Character Background
Tee Watt Kaa is the elder leader of the Lurmen village on the planet Maridun. He appeared in The Clone Wars episode 'Jedi Crash', where he initially refused to help the Republic due to his pacifist beliefs.
Design Notes
This figure uses a specialized head mold that captures the unique alien biology of the Lurmen. The torso print is designed to look like the character's natural fur.
Similar Minifigures
None. This is the only Lurmen minifigure ever produced by LEGO.
Collectibility
High for Clone Wars completionists. Being a one-off character with a unique mold makes it a niche but essential piece of the Star Wars LEGO library.
History
Debuted in 2009 and has never been remade or re-released in any other set, making it a unique product of the early Clone Wars line.
Interesting Facts
Despite his importance in the episode, he was placed in a Y-Wing set which he never actually appeared on in the show.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Maridun diorama alongside Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker (Clone Wars versions) or on a Star Wars themed character shelf.
Modification Potential
The head piece is highly unique and often used by MOC builders for creating custom alien species or creatures.
Overall Assessment
A unique and charming figure from the peak of the stylized 'big eye' Clone Wars era. Its exclusive mold makes it a standout piece for any serious Star Wars collector.
