“For nearly half a decade, the Clone Wars rocked the galaxy and led to the downfall of the Old Republic and the Jedi Order.”
Adding to the drammatis pesonnae of the Star Wars Lego world comes a spate of minifigs from Star Wars Clone Wars that ties in both the upcoming animated movie but also the TV series it launches.
The new minifigs include:
- GENRAL OBI-WAN KENOBI
The Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic, ready for battle in his clone trooper armor
- ASAJJ VENTRESS
A dark side disciple and follower of Count Dooku
- CAPTAIN REX
an ARC Trooper with attitude, this character will play a significant role in the Clone Wars
- MAGNA DROID
an advanced type of battle droid formidable enough to take on Jedi and clone troopers with ease
- COMMANDER CODY
a highly trained and experienced trooper, this veteran of more than a dozen major battles commands the Republic’s elite forces;
- PLO KOON
after serving on the Jedi Council, this Master went on to serve the Republic on countless worlds after surviving the Battle of Geonosis (and being eventually killed by his own troops)
- AHSOKA TANO
This young female is Anakin Skywalker’s padawan and a new force to be reckoned with. (Anakin had an apprentice?) and
- ANAKIN SKYWALKER
this headstrong and powerful force-warrior is equally fearless in his Jedi starfighters as he is on the ground leading clone troopers.
The minifigs are meant to convey Lego’s interpretation of the new CGI Clone Wars series and will no doubt be released in concert with the film (or at least in time for Christmas).
