The 2020 Star Wars The Black Series Phase I Clone Trooper (Lieutenant) brings the blue‑ranked officer of the Grand Army of the Republic into the Phase IV mural era as a Walgreens exclusive, representing the Attack of the Clones segment of the red‑box mural line. This release updates the classic Phase I clone with the modernized sculpt introduced in 2020, featuring improved proportions, cleaner armor lines, and enhanced articulation. The figure’s blue markings identify him as a Lieutenant, one of the four rank‑color variants seen in the early days of the Clone Wars.
Presented in the Phase IV red/black window box, this figure forms part of the Attack of the Clones mural, with the side‑panel artwork connecting to the rest of the 2020 AOTC lineup. The packaging emphasizes the Phase I helmet silhouette and the clean, angular armor design that defines the earliest clone troopers. As a Walgreens exclusive, this release was distributed in limited quantities, making it a sought‑after piece for collectors completing the rank‑color set.
