Theme

Year Released
First released in 2022 as part of the initial wave of sets based on the Disney+ 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' limited series.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While not a limited edition, he was exclusive to one medium-sized set (75336) and remains the most detailed version of this character released to date.
Head
White head with unique Pau'an facial printing. Features dark grey sunken eye sockets, yellow Sith-like eyes, and the character's signature red geometric facial markings.
Torso
Black torso with detailed imperial armor printing. Features silver/grey control panels, a red accent light, and the Inquisitorius emblem on the left chest. Includes black arms and black hands.
Legs
Black legs with dark grey armor plate printing on the hips and thighs. The printing continues down the front of the legs to represent tactical boots and leggings.
Accessories
Includes specialized black pointed shoulder armor and a black cloth cape. Usually paired with a unique round lightsaber hilt (not shown in image) and two red lightsaber blades.
Color Scheme
Highly monochromatic Sith-inspired scheme: primary Black and White with light grey/silver accents and small hits of red in the printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and legs (front). The alignment on the belt and chest armor is typically very precise for this era.
Variants
This is the 'Kenobi' show version (sw1215). A previous animated-style version (sw0621) exists from the Rebels theme (2015), which has a significantly different, taller head piece and different torso printing.
Condition Notes
Check for fraying on the cloth cape. The white head printing can be prone to skin oils or dirt staining. Common stress marks can occur on the neck where the shoulder plate sits.
Estimated Value
Used: $18.00 - $25.00 USD. New: $30.00+ USD. The price varies significantly depending on if the specialized lightsaber hilt is included.
Price (New)
Contained in set 75336 (Inquisitor Transport Scythe) which originally retailed for approximately $99.99 USD.

Character Background
A Pau'an male who served the Galactic Empire as the leader of the Inquisitorius, tasked with hunting down Jedi survivors of Order 66. Formerly a Jedi Temple Guard.
Design Notes
LEGO chose to use a standard minifigure head mold rather than the elongated head mold seen in the 'Rebels' version to better reflect the actor's appearance in the live-action series.
Similar Minifigures
Fifth Brother (sw1216), Reva - Third Sister (sw1217), and the original Rebels-style Grand Inquisitor (sw0621).
Collectibility
High. Villains from Star Wars media are always in demand, and the Grand Inquisitor is the centerpiece of the Kenobi-era Inquisitor team.
History
Represents the evolution of Inquisitor designs from stylized animation (2015) to realistic live-action interpretations (2022).
Interesting Facts
The red lines on his head are part of the Pau'an biology but serve to make the character look more menacing; LEGO captured these with high fidelity compared to the live-action source material.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Inquisitor Transport Scythe or in a scene with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Use a black display stand to accentuate the 'Dark Side' aesthetic.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom Imperial officers or other Inquisitors. The shoulder armor is very popular for MOCs (My Own Creations) involving custom armored characters.
Overall Assessment
An excellent 9/10 minifigure. It perfectly captures the menacing aura of the character and features exclusive armor pieces that make it a standout in any modern Star Wars collection.
