Stass Allie was a Tholothian Jedi Master who served as a Jedi General during the Clone Wars. Her training in diplomacy led her to become an advisor to many high ranking officials in the senate. She was also a member of the circle of Jedi Healers and rose to be a member of the Jedi High Council following the death of her cousin and fellow Tholothian Jedi Master Adi Gallia.
In the arc of Star Wars films we see Stass Allie in Episode II Attack Of The Clones alongside the many Jedi involved in The Battle of Geonosis. Allie survives Geonosis and appears in hologram form during a Jedi Council scene in Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith. In the same film we see her demise on the planet of Saleucami, when the clone troopers that she is leading as part of a BARC trooper patrol open fire on her speeder bike after Order 66 is issued by Chancellor Palpatine.
This Minifigure can easily substitute for Adi Gallia who appears in Episode I The Phantom Menace and a number of episodes during the Clone Wars TV series: a character who arguably has a more interesting back story than Stass Allie.
Stass Allie is a unique Minifigure to the 75016: Homing Spider Droid set that was released in 2013. An interesting choice for inclusion in this set as she is not a significant player. Still she was at the Battle of Geonosis (unlike Adi Gallia) so is a welcome addition to the Jedi ranks for those trying to recreate the arena scene. It is fair to assume that we are unlikely to see a second variant or version in the future.
The Minifigure is really well made and distinctive in appearance, The Tholothian headdress is certainly eye catching being white, gold and cream in colour with blue detail lines to the front. The headress is custom made from a rubbery plastic material.
The head is brown in colour with a front print showing purple eyes and a serious expression. There is a print to the rear of the head piece that incorporates a greenish hair line.
The Torso is a double sided print showing a typical Jedi outfit of tan robes with folds suggested by black markings together with a brown belt.
The legs are tan coloured and continue the Torso print design and are in fact one of the only criticisms I have of the Minifigure. The problem lies in the print of the pouch that hangs from the belt on the left hand side of the Torso. The pouch continues on the leg piece but unfortunately leaves an unsatisfactory break in the print. It is a shame that this defect is so plain to see as this minifigure in every other way is fantastic.

With the recent release of this character and the new BARC Speeder/Commander Neyo set that's come out recently, lego seemed to have Order 66 in mind. This is a nice figure to have, even if the only thing you ever do with it is incinerate her as the speeder bike beneath her explodes. Being pro-Empire, I am supportive of spontaneous Jedi combustion.
ReplyDeleteThe icing in the cake would have been if Lego had included a few hand held Palpatine Hologram bricks ("Execute Order 66") in some of these sets. I'm thinking a similar approach to the 'Death Star plans' that the Geonosian Poggle The Lesser was holding in 75017 Duel On Geonosis in 2013.
