Star Wars Black Series Civilians, Aliens & Independents

Not everyone in Star Wars is fighting a war. The galaxy has traders, scavengers, musicians, farmers, children, creatures, and droids who exist entirely outside the conflict between Empire and Rebellion, First Order and Resistance. The Black Series Civilians, Aliens & Independents faction — listed as Neutral in the database — covers all of them: the Jawas picking through Tatooine salvage, the Ewoks defending their forest moon, the cantina band playing for their supper in Mos Eisley, and the holiday and Galaxy’s Edge figures that exist in their own separate registers.

It’s a deliberately varied category. What unifies these figures isn’t allegiance — it’s the absence of one. They’re the background of Star Wars made plastic: the characters who populate the universe’s texture rather than drive its plot.

Jawas — The Faction’s Most-Released Character

The Jawa has more releases in this faction than any other character, spanning the 40th Anniversary wave, the Offworld Jawa from The Mandalorian, the Obi-Wan Kenobi exclusive Teeka, and a Holiday Edition version packaged with Salacious B. Crumb. That breadth reflects how fundamental the Jawa is to the Star Wars visual vocabulary — the hooded, glowing-eyed scavenger is as iconic as any character in the franchise, and the Black Series has treated it accordingly.

The 40th Anniversary Jawa is the cleanest standard version. The Holiday Edition with Salacious B. Crumb is a genuinely fun two-pack that gives you two characters in one purchase. Teeka from the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is a Target exclusive and the most narratively specific of the group — a named Jawa rather than a generic one.

Ewoks — Endor’s Defenders

Wicket W. Warrick is the Ewok faction’s standout, with four releases spanning the 40th Anniversary waves, a Galaxy Collection ROTJ mainline, and a Holiday Edition. Teebo and Paploo from the 40th Anniversary ROTJ waves add two more Endor warriors for display depth. The Ewok (Valentine’s Day Edition) is a seasonal variant for collectors who track the holiday line.

These are genuinely distinctive figures — small stature, organic materials, primitive weapons — that break up the humanoid uniformity of most Black Series shelves effectively. An Ewok village grouping of three or four figures has real visual impact. Paploo in particular is a strong sculpt with the distinctive striped face markings that differentiate him from Wicket.

Tusken Raiders — Tatooine’s Indigenous People

The Tusken Raider appears in multiple versions across the line — the 40th Anniversary version, the Red Line standard release, and the Tusken Chieftain from The Book of Boba Fett, which captures the more detailed live-action version of the character from Boba’s Tatooine storyline. The Chieftain in particular is a well-executed figure, the gaffi stick and wrapped robes rendered with the care the character’s prominent BOBF role deserved.

Watto and Taun We are the faction’s prequel-era alien civilians — the Toydarian junk dealer from Tatooine and the Kaminoan cloner from the AOTC wave respectively. Both are unusual additions to the line and visually interesting for exactly that reason: floating, alien body types that don’t conform to the humanoid norm.

The Cantina and Mos Eisley Aliens

The ANH collection gave the faction some of its best figures. Figrin D’an and Nalan Cheel — two members of the Modal Nodes cantina band — arrived as a wave pair covering the Bith musicians in the Mos Eisley scene. Figrin D’an comes with his kloo horn; Nalan Cheel (a Hasbro Pulse Deluxe) with his bandfill. Together they anchor a cantina musician display that no previous wave had properly covered.

Momaw Nadon — the Hammerhead Ithorian who appears briefly in the original cantina scene — received a Deluxe release in the same ANH wave with cantina accessories, making him one of the more complete alien civilian figures in the line. Constable Zuvio from The Force Awakens and Maz Kanata fill out the alien civilian roster with a TFA-era lawman and the pirate queen of Takodana respectively.

Sebulba, the Dug pod racer from The Phantom Menace, is one of the more unusual creature-scale figures in the entire Neutral faction — four-limbed, aggressive posture, distinctly non-humanoid. He arrived in the 2025 TPM wave and is a strong display piece for any prequel-era alien shelf.

Droids and Independents

The Neutral faction contains several droids whose allegiances don’t fit neatly into other factions. BT-1 and 0-0-0 (Triple Zero) — the homicidal astromech and protocol droid from the Doctor Aphra comics — are packaged as a pair in the Doctor Aphra Comic Set (which sits in the Rebels faction) but also have individual listings here. They’re unusual droid designs that read as corrupted versions of the more familiar R2 and C-3PO archetypes.

Professor Huyang, the ancient lightsaber-building droid from the Ahsoka series, is one of the more distinctively designed figures in the faction — the long, angular droid body and the centuries-old role as Jedi temple craftsman make him a genuinely different presence on a shelf. NED-B from the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is a loader droid that became a fan favourite through his gentle characterisation — the Deluxe release captures the boxy industrial design well.

1-JAC, the droid from the same Kenobi series, rounds out the Obi-Wan civilian and droid presence alongside Teeka the Jawa.

Independents and Wanderers

Some figures sit in the Neutral faction because their allegiances genuinely resist categorisation. DJ from The Last Jedi — the slicer who sells out the Resistance — has two releases and is more opportunist than aligned with any cause. Zorii Bliss from The Rise of Skywalker operates outside established factions as a spice runner turned reluctant ally. Baylan Skoll’s Mercenary variant and Shin Hati’s Arcana variant both reflect their post-Imperial, post-Jedi positions outside conventional faction boundaries.

The Ronin from Star Wars: Visions has two releases — the animated ANIM 01 and the standard VIS 01 — covering the wandering, morally ambiguous samurai-influenced character from the Visions anthology. Starkiller from The Force Unleashed sits here in his civilian gaming appearance, distinct from his Rebels-faction Gaming Greats release.

Jaxxon, the green rabbit smuggler from the earliest Marvel Star Wars comics, is the faction’s deepest Legends cut — a character whose absurdist design caused controversy when he first appeared in 1977, now rendered in full Black Series quality in the 50th Anniversary wave. Zaalbar from Knights of the Old Republic adds a Wookiee companion from the gaming era.

Galaxy’s Edge and Seasonal Figures

The Galaxy’s Edge sub-set adds a cluster of park-exclusive characters: DJ R-3X (the RX-pilot droid from Star Tours turned Oga’s Cantina DJ), R5-P8, and the Droid Depot multi-packs with R2-D2 variants and the K-7R1, CB-23, Pit Droid, and Babu Frik set. These are thematically separate from the standard line — tied to the Batuu theme park experience — but visually interesting for droid-focused collectors.

The Holiday Edition figures that sit in the Neutral faction include the Protocol Droid (C-3PO gold variant), the KX Security Droid holiday version, Wookiee Halloween and Holiday editions, and the Ewok holiday and Valentine’s Day releases. These are distinct from the faction’s mainline character figures and collect as a separate seasonal sub-set.

The Skeleton Crew Kids

The At Attin children from Skeleton Crew — Neel, Wim, Fern, and KB — are the most recent civilian additions to the faction, and the most purely civilian figures in the entire Black Series. Four kids from a hidden Republic world who stumble into the wider galaxy: no weapons, no allegiances, no armour. They’re an unusual proposition for the line and genuinely reflect the show’s coming-of-age tone.

Display Strategy

The Civilians, Aliens & Independents faction doesn’t organise naturally into a single display — its strength is how individual sub-groups work together within broader scene-based arrangements. The cantina musicians (Figrin D’an, Nalan Cheel, Momaw Nadon) integrate directly into any Mos Eisley scene alongside figures from other factions. The Ewoks work with the ROTJ Rebels cast on an Endor shelf. The Tusken Raiders anchor a Tatooine display alongside Jawas, Watto, and Sebulba.

For a dedicated Neutral faction display, grouping by planet or scene — Tatooine creatures and civilians, Endor inhabitants, cantina regulars — creates a more coherent visual logic than mixing the full roster. These are the characters who give the Star Wars universe its sense of a lived-in galaxy, and they display best when that context is preserved.
