You know who Qui-Gon Jinn is.  He’s the Jedi who has a very particular set of skills.  You know who Luke is.  Well, you thought you did until The Last Jedi.  But you may or may not know who Bultar Swan is.  She appeared on film only in Attack of the Clones, where she participated in the rescue attempt of Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padmé.  Swan can be seen as one of the Jedi that entered the arena, ignited her blade, and took on a defensive posture in an attempt to bring a quick end to the negotiation with Dooku and the Geonosians.  Once the battle droid armies were unleashed, Swan fought on until she was one of the few left standing in a circle at the center of the arena.  Swan was rescued by Yoda and the Clone troopers, and boarded a Republic Gunship bound for the large battle outside the arena.  According to canon, that is the extent of her role in the known timeline.  In the old EU, Bultar Swan survived the Clone Wars as well as Order 66.  A bit later, she was at a secret gathering of Jedi that planned on ambushing Darth Vader.  A skirmish ensued, and Vader was wounded, having his hand chopped off (What is with this guy, already?) and being disarmed.  by Tsui Choi.  The remaining Jedi in the group included Bultar Swan, who tried to convince Koffi Arana to properly apply his Jedi learnings and not murder the defenseless Vader.  An engraged Arana violently ripped Swan’s ignited blade from her grip, killing her in the process.  Arana was then killed when Vader used The Force to drive his severed hand, still holding a cortosis blade, into Arana’s chest.  Hasbro totally made a figure of that.  A blade being driven through the chest of a Jedi by a severed hand.  Star Wars is for kids!

This is a strange set.  It includes Qui-Gon, a main cast member from The Phantom Menace,  Bultar Swan, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-her background Jedi from Attack of the Clones, and Luke Skywalker from some 20+ years after Return of the Jedi.  It probably would have made more sense to include an Obi-Wan, but while that would have been more logical, having an opportunity to get a Bultar Swan figure was definitely more appealing to collectors.  Nevertheless, the Qui-Gon Jinn was all-new at the time, as was this New Jedi Order version of Luke Skywalker.  Three brand new figures in a multi-pack.  What a world we used to live in!

Hasbro got a lot of mileage out of this Qui-Gon Jinn mold, most recently (I believe) being released in 2012 as part of the Great TPM Debacle of 2012, a moment that might be considered a turning point for the Star Wars line, as undesirable product bombarded retail in several confusing formats.  But nevermind all that.  This was 2008, before the dark times.  Qui-Gon was pretty decent at the time.  His soft goods lower tunic (“skirt”) allowed for a full range of motion of his legs, something that the other two figures in the pack (and most others available elsewhere) do not benefit from.  The sculpt is quite good, although the paint appication on the face could have used some work.  Qui-Gon is the only figure of the 3 that comes with a Jedi robe, and as you might predict, it’s big and billowy.  Qui-Gon also comes with his green lightsaber, but it is a straight repack of the Episode I variety, as it’s a bit thicker than modern sculpts, and also lacks the base flare that we are now used to.  Hasbro apparently couldn’t be bothered making a new saber.  This same 1999 era lightsaber would continue to be packed along with the figure through 2012 and Qui-Gon’s appearance in TVC as VC75.

Bultar Swan is likely the most desirable figure for many collectors.  The figure itself looks great, although it is definitely flawed.  The head sculpt is very well executed, with a face that is very similar to the actress (which you can see in promo photos).  The upper body articulation is solid, although the overdone “shoulder pads” prevent Swan from raising her hands high above her head.  She can perform a decent THWG.  The lower tunic (skirt) is made of plastic, and therefore pretty limiting on the lower body movement.  Fortunately the tunic is relatively short, so there’s a bit of give there.  My particular sample seems to be a bit out of whack, and isn’t perfectly straight when standing upright.  She has a definite lean.  It’s almost as if one leg is slightly longer than the other.  You can use the articulation to compensate a bit, but overall, it’s a little wonky.  Bultar comes with a lightsaber as her only accessory.

Luke Skywalker is sourced from the New Jedi Order part of the timeline, set about 20 years or so after the events of ROTJ in the EU (legends) timeline.  I don’t know much about that part of the Star Wars lore, but I’m sure many fans would rather have that Luke Skywalker than the one they saw in TLJ.  Personally, I’m okay with it, and I’ll see how the trilogy plays out before I make any final judgment.  The figure is definitely an older Luke.  He’s very different from the grizzled and bearded Luke from TLJ, he just looks like a slightly more mature ROTJ Luke.  There is, of course, more than 10 years difference in age. In any case, the figure is nothing special, other than it being an older Luke.  The head sculpt is decent, while the figure is a basic Jedi, with some interesting coloring.  Like Bultar, Luke’s posability is limited by the plastic tunic.  A proper Luke today would have full Jedi-Level Articulation, but this one is standard, and further limited by the skirt.  Luke can perform a basic THWG with his lightsaber, and perform a few moves, but is otherwise a rather simple figure. 

This set was repacked a year later in the blue Legacy Collection.  Qui-Gon was recycled many times in some form, but this, along with the TLC re-release, were the only opportunities to get NJO Luke and Bultar Swan.  Overall, due to the dated nature of the figures, the set gets a 6.  The star of the set is definitely Bultar Swan, due to the obscure nature of the character, but the figures are definitely a bit meh.

Verdict: Re-sculpt (Qui-Gon - Med priority) 

Qui-Gon is dated and in need of an overhaul.  A new headsculpt, an updated ligthsaber and separate hilt, a Jedi Communicator, and a full upgrade to JLA (Jedi-Level Articulation) is definitely called for.  Hasbro should look for ways to bring such a figure into the line.  Bultar Swan has room for improvements, but such a minor character is probably not primed for revisiting any time soon.  This version of Luke is no longer canon, and probably will never see the light of day again, although he, too, would be a much better figure today.  Both Bultar Swan and Luke Skywalker are essentially “good enough.” 

Verdict Guide:
Re-sculpt = The figure is not definitive, and a new version should be developed.
Re-issue = This version is definitive (or close enough), and shows sufficient secondary market demand to warrant a straight repack.
No Action = This release does not require new attention.
