INTRODUCTION
"For a thousand years, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, before the dark times, before the Empire..." The resurgence of the Jedi Order begins on the remote desert planet of Tatooine. Obi-Wan Kenobi gives Luke Skywalker a lightsaber that belonged to Luke's father, and when Luke activates the weapon, it marks the beginning of a new generation of Jedi... and a new hope for the galaxy.

This is a excellent Battle Pack that contains all main characters. I think it would have been a better if it would have included Obi-Wan's trunk that contains Anakin's Lightsaber. Otherwise probably one of the best Battle Packs in the red Legacy Collection.

The Battle Pack includes the following items:

  • C-3PO: With just a little bit of dirty paint on him, the worry-prone droid is repaired after an unfortunate encounter with Tusken Raiders while he and Luke search for R2-D2.
  • Luke Skywalker: The young moisture farmer discovers his father was a Jedi Knight as circumstances lead him in a life-altering direction. Comes with Anakin's Lightsaber.
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi: With his Jedi Robe and Lightsaber now known as Ben Kenobi, Obi-Wan is one of the few Jedi Knights to survive the Great Jedi Purge at the end of the Clone Wars.
  • R2-D2: The determined astromech droid carries out his secret mission, resulting in a fateful meeting between Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi.
  • Holographic Leia: A secret message for Obi-Wan Kenobi that Luke Skywalker stumbled upon while cleaning R2-D2 is now played.
