Year Released
2016 - Released in June as part of the summer wave for the Star Wars Rebels animated series merchandise.
Rarity
Rare - This figure was exclusive to a single, retired, and widely sought-after set (75157 Captain Rex's AT-TE). It was never re-released in any other set or polybag.
Head
The head is a light aqua/light grey color with a stern expression and yellow eyes. It is topped with a unique, molded black helmet/cap that reflects the character's wide-brimmed headgear from the show.
Torso
Dark bluish gray torso with black Mandalorian-style printing, featuring silver and light grey chest plate detailing. It includes a specific black neck armor piece/shoulder pauldron with a specialized clip on the back to hold the lightsaber hilt.
Legs
Dark bluish gray legs with black hip and knee armor printing. The printing is detailed to mimic the layered combat gear worn by the Inquisitorius.
Accessories
Includes a unique circular black lightsaber hilt (capable of holding two blades) and two trans-red lightsaber blades. The hilt can be attached to the back of the figure's neck armor.
Color Scheme
The primary color scheme is Dark Bluish Gray and Black, accented by light aqua skin tones and trans-red weapon blades, staying true to the dark palette of the Galactic Empire.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back, and the front of the legs. The face printing features sharp lines for the facial markings typical of the Terrelian Jango Jumper species.
Variants
There are no official LEGO variants of sw0747, though the character returned in the 2022 Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series, that version received a different minifigure design (sw1202).
Condition Notes
The unique helmet piece is prone to scratching. The thin blades on the circular hilt accessory can be brittle or show stress marks if handled roughly. Check for torso cracks near the arm pits.
Estimated Value
Current market value for a used complete figure is approximately $65 - $80 USD. In new condition, the value can exceed $100 USD due to the retirement of the Rebels line.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 75157 which retailed for $119.99 USD. The figure's individual value has surpassed its original 'share' of the set price.
Compatible Sets
Appears exclusively in Set 75157: Captain Rex's AT-TE (2016).
Character Background
The Fifth Brother was an Inquisitor of the Galactic Empire, a dark side user tasked with hunting down surviving Jedi after Order 66. He was a primary antagonist in Season 2 of Star Wars Rebels.
Design Notes
The molded headgear is the standout element; it is a single-purpose mold created specifically to capture the character's silhouette, though it prevents the head from turning fully when the neck armor is on.
Similar Minifigures
Similar figures include the Grand Inquisitor (sw0621), Seventh Sister (sw0674), and Eighth Brother (sw0787).
Collectibility
High. Anything 'Rebels' related has seen a surge in value since the 'Ahsoka' series aired. As a unique Inquisitor, he is essential for completing the dark side 'brotherhood'.
History
Following the success of Star Wars Rebels, LEGO produced several Inquisitor figures. The Fifth Brother represents the peak of detail for that era before the 2022 redesign for live-action media.
Interesting Facts
Despite his bulky appearance in the show, the minifigure uses standard legs. The lightsaber hilt is one of the few pieces that can store on the character's back via the armor piece.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside other Inquisitors or facing off against Ahsoka Tano and Kanan Jarrus. Use a transparent stand to mimic the spinning action of his lightsaber.
Modification Potential
Commonly modified by collectors to include 'Inquisitor' capes from third-party sites like Cape Cantina to give him a more menacing, layered look.
Overall Assessment
An A-tier Star Wars minifigure. It captures the likeness of the animated character perfectly and possesses high resale value due to its exclusive nature. A must-have for Rebels completionists.
