Character Background
Even Piell was a Lannik Jedi Master and member of the High Council. He appeared in the 'Citadel' arc of The Clone Wars, where he sacrificed himself to protect the Nexus Route coordinates.
Design Notes
A unique head mold with integrated large ears was created specifically for this character, showcasing LEGO's commitment to The Clone Wars unique character designs in the early 2010s.
Similar Minifigures
Yoda (sw0446), Saesee Tiin (sw0408), and Kit Fisto (sw0422) provide similar Jedi Council aesthetic and unique alien head molds.
Collectibility
High for Star Wars completionists. Since he likely won't be remade due to his limited screen time and the end of the Clone Wars line, he is a stable investment for Jedi collectors.
History
Debuted in the summer 2012 wave. He represents the era of LEGO Star Wars where unique alien molds were becoming the standard for non-human Jedi.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a Council member, he is one of the few Jedi minifigures to use the sand green hand color, making his parts useful for custom alien builds.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in their Clone Wars attire to recreate the Citadel rescue mission.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom Lannik characters. The torso is also a great generic tan Jedi robe for MOCs.
Overall Assessment
An essential figure for fans of The Clone Wars. The unique head sculpt and specific character inclusion make it a standout of the 2012 lineup. Rating: 8/10.
