Day 927, Quasi-Quarantine: Rewriting Order 66 With A More Competent Jedi Temple Guard

 

Having found a new Etsy shop -- Galactic Brick Store -- I decided to see if we could rejuvenate Lego interest in my building partner with a couple of unique purchases.

Top of the list was the Jedi Temple Guard, who arrived in immaculate packaging and is comprised of top-quality materials. 

A member of the security force maintained by the Jedi Order, the guard is tasked with protecting the Jedi Temple of Coruscant. These "anonymous sentinels" are honored by being singled out to serve under Jedi Master Cin Drallig as part of a lifelong commitment to the Jedi Temple and emotional dettachment.

These guards made an appearance in "Star Wars: Clone Wars" when they arrested Padawan Barriss Offee for treason, then crossed over to "Star Wars: Rebels" when the one who survived the Great Jedi Purge became the Grand Inquisitor under Emperor Palpatine. The Grand Inquisitor was defeated by Padawan Kanan Jarrus, leading him to commit suicide.

This version is marked by the distinctive mask and hood, as well as the double-sided lightsaber pike, with a trademark golden color. This minifigure is impeccably designed at great value -- ensuring that Galactic Brick Store will remain top of mind as we seek out other rare and memorable minifigs.
