Another entry into the “budget” army builder 3-packs, this set was also released in the Clone Wars line in support of the animated Microseries.  That series was short (literally) but inspired a toy line that gave us more figures and toys than did the entire 5-film Disney suite.  What a time to be alive.

So this 3-pack gave us some basic, non-named Jedi of different species that may or may not have been on screen at any point - and that includes the Microseries itself.

All 3 figures are limited in articulation, but are sculpted in action poses.  I’m normally against action poses designed into the figures, but without much ability to pose these yourself, you gotta take what you can get.  The lightsaber accessories are removable, for what it’s worth, and the heads and harms have some range of motion, but that’s about it.

The Human Jedi figure is the one in the pack that some sources (i.e Wookieepedia) attribute to a legitimate on-screen character.  A young human Jedi named Lumas Etima may be the likeness on which the figure is based. 

According to some sources, Lumas Etima is the Jedi to the left of center with the blue blade, possibly participating in blocking C-3PO head/Battle Droid’s blaster fire.

The problem is that the figure has a robe and a light colored tunic, neither of which are worn by the character in Attack of the Clones allegedly being Etima.  Nevertheless, unidentified human Jedi are all over the arena battle, so this figure easily fits anywhere in your display, even if you can’t easily identify him. 

The unnamed Rodian Jedi has no known source.  Interestingly, Hasbro doubled down on this character by releasing an SA version in the second round of Target exclusive TLC Geonosis Arena Showdown 2-packs from 2010.  Technically, that makes this one obsolete.  But I won’t report you to the authorities even you have them both displayed.

The third figure is an unnamed blue Twi’lek Jedi.  Like the Rodian, this character has no confirmed source.  Unlike the Rodian, Hasbro never revisited it.  But at least Aayla Secura isn’t alone in representing her people in the Jedi Order on Geonosis. 

It’s a cool budget pack, and the figures look great in the background of any battle display.  The human Jedi may be the only one that might be seen.
