I've long been fascinated by the character of Savage Opress, the terrifying Nightbrother from Dathomir. Imbued with witchcraft-driven powers, the intimidating Opress was a devastatingly memorable character during the Clone Wars.
Asajj Ventress helped create and control him, and he eventually apprenticed under Count Dooku before becoming a Sith Lord under his brother, Darth Maul.
After Maul was defeated and left for dead by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Opress rescued him and helped restore him to his previous power. Together, they traveled the galaxy as a destructive force in pursuit of Kenobi.
Opress lost his arm in a battle with Obi-Wan, leading he and Maul to align with with Pre Vizsla and Death Watch to create the Shadow Collective and overthrow Mandalore. However, Darth Sidious deemed them to be a growing threat and killed Opress.
Minifigures of Opress vary a lot in price and quality, which guided us away from biting the bullet on his purchase for a while. This version, created by a custom builder on Etsy, features surprisingly intricate chest and back printing, and comes with forbidding armor and a double-bladed lightsaber.
I'm hopeful his addition to the fold will help spur a new round of missions as our long-forgotten Legos get dusted off and rediscovered in the coming months.
