Day 487, Quasi-Quarantine: A Distinctive, Customized Helmet for "Jesse" Was Too Hard To Resist



The advanced recon commando and lieutenant Jesse -- CT-5597 -- is one of our favorite clone troopers, so when we had the chance to get a sand-green, alternate helmet from Arealight Customs, we had to pounce.

Serving under Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex in the 501st Legion and 332nd Division during the Clone Wars, Jesse is known by his distinctive face tattoo that features a Republic crest, which also is prominently displayed on his helmet.


Jesse barely escaped execution as part of a powerful story arc with the traitorous Jedi Pong Krell, then went on to play a key role in Order 66. He perished when the Star
 Destroyer Tribunal crashed into a moon, with his helmet being used as a marker for his grave in a dramatic and emotional scene.

In this iteration, Jesse is joining a Green Squad being put together by myself and my building partner. His patriotism and leadership will be key as he seeks to redeem himself in clone annals.
