Year Released
2022. Taun We debuted in Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter (75333), commemorating the 20th anniversary of Attack of the Clones.
Rarity
Uncommon. While only appearing in one relatively affordable set, Taun We was a highly anticipated figure that fans demanded for two decades, making her a specialized addition to the Star Wars lineup.
Head
Unique molded head/neck piece. Features a long, slender Sand Blue neck integrated with a White head. Printing includes large almond-shaped black eyes with white highlights and subtle facial contouring.
Torso
White torso with Sand Blue arms and White hands. Printing features Kaminoan administrative robes with grey and metallic silver accents, continuing accurately from the neck piece.
Legs
Standard 2x2x2 slope brick instead of traditional legs to represent a flowing gown. Features symmetrical printing of robes with Sand Blue and dark grey detailing.
Accessories
None included with the figure itself in the set, though she interacts with the droid and ship components in the box.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are White and Sand Blue, with accent colors of Light Bluish Grey and Metallic Silver. This matches the sterile, aquatic aesthetic of Kamino.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the molded head, torso (front and back), and the front of the slope brick. Alignment is critical due to the vertical lines of the robes.
Variants
There are no official LEGO variants of this specific character. For years, fans used custom-molded or 3D-printed versions before this official release.
Condition Notes
The long neck is a point of concern for stress marks. The White plastic is susceptible to yellowing if exposed to UV. Check the 'skirt' slope for scratches on the large flat printing surface.
Estimated Value
Used: $6.00 – $9.00 USD; New (pulled from set): $10.00 – $13.00 USD. Prices are stable due to the set's recent availability.
Price (New)
Included in set 75333 which retailed for $29.99 USD. The per-figure value was heightened by her being a long-awaited 'debut' character.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Taun We is a Kaminoan administrative aide who greeted Obi-Wan Kenobi upon his arrival at Tipoca City. She served Prime Minister Lama Su and oversaw the cloning project for the Grand Army of the Republic.
Design Notes
The use of a specialized neck/head mold was a departure from early LEGO 'purist' designs, successfully capturing the height and elegance of the Kaminoan species. It represents a significant upgrade over the 'brick-built' aliens of the early 2000s.
Similar Minifigures
Lama Su (if LEGO produces one), standard White/Sand Blue Star Wars figures like the 212th Clone Troopers or General Obi-Wan Kenobi (sw1214).
Collectibility
High. As the first-ever official Kaminoan minifigure, she is a cornerstone for collectors of the Prequel Era and 'Attack of the Clones' specific displays.
History
For 20 years, Kaminoans were absent from the LEGO Star Wars lineup. Her release in 2022 marked the completion of many fans' Episode II character rosters.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a major character in Episode II, it took exactly 20 years for LEGO to create a mold that they felt accurately represented the Kaminoan physiology.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside sw1214 (Obi-Wan) and R4-P17 on a clean white baseplate to simulate the hallways of Tipoca City. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent the white plastic from turning yellow.
Modification Potential
The head/neck piece is highly sought after for MOCs (My Own Creations) involving other Kaminoan characters like Lama Su or Nala Se.
Overall Assessment
An excellent 9/10 minifigure. It perfectly captures a difficult-to-translate alien design and satisfies a multi-decade fan request with high-quality printing and a unique mold.
