In his earlier life he was a significant character in many battles and was also the first Jedi in a 1000 years to defeat a Sith Lord when he killed Darth Maul. After the chance meeting with the two droids C-3PO and R2-D2 he once again was involved when he ended up on the Death Star and for the second time had to fight Darth Vader. This time, however, he gave his life to allow Luke and Leia to escape the Death Star. He disappeared into the Force coming back to speak to Luke in later years.

There have been many Obi-Wan figures over the years and this is one of several that I have in my collection.

The original B1 Battle Droid was replaced by the B2 Super Battle Droid which didn’t rely on the link with the command ship like most battle droids so had some level of independence, although performed far better with instructions from the central command.

As a LEGO figure I’m not sure I really class it as a minifigure as it’s not constructed the same way as regular figures, however, it’s still a key figure in the Star Wars films and I can see some great photo possibilities with a large number of these together.

These troopers also had camouflage armour too which they used on forest planets to help conceal their presence. Their helmet is similar to the Scout Trooper you see on the Forest Moon of Endor in The Return of the Jedi but other than that, there isn’t really much that differs from a regular Clone Trooper.

It was during this time that he joined forces to Nute Gunray and captured Senator Amidala. He then realised his error and turned on Nute Gunray and aided Amidala and Jar Jar Binks in arresting the Viceroy.

He had several dealings with Jedis Anakin Skywalker and Kit Fisto during the Clone Wars before he was killed by poison put in his drink by his aide for bringing the war to their planet.

Not a particularly well know character, so probably not a particularly valuable figure for my collection, but it can quite often be these that eventually become rarer as they aren’t collected when they are in better supply.

Although he was eventually defeated when a young Anakin Skywalker destroyed the droid control ship, he faced trial on Coruscant but was aided by Darth Tyranus, also known as Count Dooku, the secret apprentice to Darth Sidious, and retained his title of Viceroy.

It was Gunray, Sidious and Tyranus that formed the opposition to the Galactic Republic which started the 3 year Clone Wars.

Betrayed by Darth Sidious, Gunray was moved to a volcanic planet where the new apprentice Darth Vader was sent to dispose of the council members. Nute was the last of the council members to die at the hands of Darth Vader.

As a LEGO minifigure, he’s probably not a particularly popular one as he doesn’t feature too much in the films, but the figure has some good detail and as a key figure in the Clone Wars, should be a worthy addition to my collection.

Ackbar used the time as a slave well and learnt a lot about the Imperial ways from Tarkin and was actually well respected by Tarkin despite being his slave.

Ackbar commanded the Rebel fleet at the battle of Endor when the fleet was tricked into thinking the Death Star wasn’t operational. It was only when Han Solo and his squad knocked out the force field on the planet that the attack on the Death Star could be won.

The LEGO figure has the distinctive moulded head and a basic printed uniform. It’s one of the more iconic minifigures in my opinion. A good asset in my collection.

Tatooine is where Luke came to meet C3P0 and R2-D2 and then Obi-Wan Kenobi. These meetings would be the start of Luke’s adventures which would eventually end up with the battle between himself and his father, Darth Vader and the Emperor.

The Luke Skywalker LEGO minifigure comes in an array of outfits and hair styles as he was obviously one of the key characters in the film. There are actually two versions of this same figure, this one differs by having white pupils in the eyes and is more common than the one with normal LEGO black eyes.

Storm Troopers were not known for suffering defeats, but the defeat on Endor to the small rebel force assisted by Ewoks is probably their most well known defeat.

This minifigure is one of the all time classics in my opinion. Although it’s the head gear that give it the iconic look, I have seen many people make some great images with this figure, something I am still trying to do myself. If I could, I’d have a whole army of these figures. Any donations are always welcome!

UPDATE: after posting the image along with this article, I was told on my facebook page that I had posted a picture of a Clone Trooper and not a Storm Trooper. What a mistake to make! Hopefully this should rectify the situation. Apologies for any confusion it may or may not have caused. The detail is subtle though so I will have to pay more attention next time.

His brain is connected to the Cloud City central computer and he is constantly in contact with it. This cyborg augmentation reduced the effectiveness of his voicebox so although he can speak, he doesn’t feel the need to as his connection with the central computer allows him to carry out his job without the need for speech.

The LEGO minifigure isn’t a very exciting one. The detail on his head (which you can’t see in this photo) shows the head gear he wore to connect to the central computer, but I think LEGO could have made this better.

C-3PO featured in all the Star Wars films and was a key character in the series. At the end of Episode 3, when C-3PO and R2-D2 were assigned to serve Viceroy Bail Organa, threepio’s mind was wiped.

This is a LEGO minifigure that I have wanted for a while and managed to get it as part of the Speeder set that also came with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker and a Storm Trooper. C-3PO comes in two types, this one is the darker colour of the two versions.
