Sideshow Unveils General Obi-Wan Kenobi Mythos Statue With Clone Trooper Armor
New Toy!
Toys are a huge part of Star Wars, and we have been seeing images of lots of good stuff coming out from different companies. Whether it be the Blacks Series, Funko, Hasbro, Hot Toys, or Lego, Star Wars has been given great treatment from different toy companies. There is a lot of variety that is sure to beat up the wallet of an avid toy collector who has to have it all. Now, there are images of something from Sideshow Collectibles that people will surely love to have or even just look at.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of the most popular characters in all of Star Wars. To many, he has, at times, displayed how a Jedi should be. He has been consistently well-portrayed by different actors across media. One of the outfits that is popular among some fans is the clone armor that Kenobi has worn. People who watched the 2003 Clone Wars microseries will remember when Obi-Wan donned this armor on Muunilinst as he faced the Gen’Dai bounty hunter Durge. Kenobi continued to wear clone trooper armor as part of his ensemble for the rest of the microseries. When it came time for the 2008 The Clone Wars TV series, the clone armor made its way onto the series, with Kenobi consistently keeping it as part of his outfit. It has become very iconic. Understandably, Sideshow Collectibles has decided to give the fans what they enjoy seeing.
Their new listing is titled General Obi-Wan Kenobi™ Mythos. This statue is 17.7” tall. It is made of polystone and very detailed. The Jedi General stands victoriously on top of a defeated Super Battle Droid that is on fire. To those who love the Clone Wars era, Super Battle Droids are very prominent to the iconography of that era’s battles. They have even appeared again within the past year on the live-action TV series The Mandalorian and the animated series Star Wars Resistance. So they have definitely not been forgotten. In fact, those shows made a point to show how menacing these droids can be.
The statue also comes with a clone trooper helmet, which, again, looks very well-sculpted. Regarding Obi-Wan’s face, he might not look exactly like Ewan McGregor to some eyes, but the overall look makes it clear that this is, in fact, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Even if it does not look one to one to some, Sideshow Collectibles should be applauded for their effort, and for choosing to depict this Clone Wars-era moment. This is a triumphant moment in time for the Jedi General.
Currently, the statue is listed for $585. There is a limit of two per person. The time of estimated arrival is from July to September 2021. So people would be around a year away from receiving this statue, but it would be worth the wait, especially if you are a huge fan of Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Clone Wars era.

Daisy Ridley Reveals That Rey Was Considered To Be A Kenobi
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker ended the sequel trilogy in 2019, around the time that Lucasfilm took the Star Wars universe to a new direction with the groundbreaking hit TV series The Mandalorian, the second season of which premieres October 30 on Disney+. The show takes place after Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi and long before the rise of the First Order, the authoritarian regime that is a threat to the galaxy when Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens comes around. Since the hype from the last trilogy has died down, we are now at a time where information about the direction that Star Wars has been taking is coming out. The Rise of Skywalker received mixed reviews from critics and fans, many of whom were upset with certain decision they made, including Rey’s lineageand Kylo Ren’s redemption. Finn actor John Boyega was upset and unsatisfied with how the narrative handled his character throughout the trilogy. Many fans were upset with how certain pay-offs played out after they were set up in previous films.

Review of 'Constellation'
I've read and seen many alternate reality stories. Some are caused by quantum entanglement -- the mega version of two subatomic particles colliding and then moving in opposite directions but still intimately and instantly connected -- and some just happen or are already there. I just reviewed a movie here on Vocal with that schema, and have written a few double realities stories and a novel with that premise myself. But none explore the existence and impact of that on families the way that Constellation does. Indeed, none do much of that at all in the at once deep and startling way that this new series on Apple TV+ does.
