Trans-Light Blue lightsaber blade with a light bluish gray hilt.

Printing Details
Simple pad printing on torso front; no back, arm, or leg printing, typical of mid-2000s LEGO Star Wars design.
Variants

Condition Notes
Prone to scratches on the large black plastic surfaces; silver chrome lightsaber hilts (if included) often flake, though this bluish-gray version is stable.

Design Notes
One of the earliest light-flesh versions of Luke, bridging the gap between 'Classic Yellow' and the hyper-detailed modern figures.
Similar Minifigures
sw0120 (Yellow skin Jedi Luke), sw0571 (White flap Jedi Luke), sw1191 (Moff Gideon's Light Cruiser Luke).
Collectibility
Moderate to High; essential for collectors completing original trilogy lineups from the mid-2000s era.
History
Followed the 2004 transition from yellow to flesh tones for licensed themes; part of the first major wave of 'Return of the Jedi' updates.
Interesting Facts
This minifigure's torso was reused for other generic Jedi but is most iconically associated with Luke's 'Palace' look.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a black baseplate or within a Jabba's Sail Barge MOC to highlight the minimalist aesthetic.
Modification Potential
Excellent base for a purist 'Mandalorian Season 2' Luke by swapping the hair for a more modern piece and adding a black cape.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential 'Transition Era' Star Wars minifigure that remains charming due to its simplicity and accurate color-blocking.
