Jaina Solo (Legends) — Star Wars The Black Series #56
The Black Series Jaina Solo — Red Line #56, 2017. Han Solo and Leia's daughter from Star Wars Legends. Five accessories including purple lightsaber, blaster, flight helmet and removable vest. 20 points of articulation. The only Black Series Jaina Solo.
Overview
Red Line #56 is Jaina Solo — Jaina Solo Fel, Jedi Knight, ace pilot, and the daughter of Han Solo and Leia Organa in the Star Wars Legends continuity. Jaina is the second Fan Choice Legends character in the Red Line sequence after Darth Revan (#34), her inclusion confirming the line’s commitment to the Legends EU reader base as a meaningful collector constituency. She is the only Black Series Jaina Solo ever produced.
At 20 joints and 5 accessories, this is one of the most generously equipped figures in the entire Red Line sequence — the accessory count alone (purple lightsaber with removable blade, blaster pistol, flight helmet, and removable vest) reflects both the character’s complex canonical identity and the production investment Hasbro made in a Fan Choice winner. MSRP $19.99.
The Character
Jaina Solo’s specific position in the Legends continuity is as the figure who defines what Han and Leia’s children could have been without the sequel trilogy’s choices — Han and Leia stayed together, raised three children (Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin), and Jaina became the New Jedi Order’s best pilot and duelist. Her brother Jacen’s turn to the dark side in the Legacy of the Force novel series, and the specific tragedy of Jaina having to be the one to kill him, forms the emotional centre of the Legends post-ROTJ era.
Her title in the Legends EU is “The Sword of the Jedi” — a prophetic designation placing her as the defining Jedi of her generation. The purple lightsaber and the pilot’s flight suit are both canonical to her specific Legends appearance, and the five-accessory loadout of this figure captures both her Jedi and pilot identities simultaneously.
Accessories: Five in Detail
Purple lightsaber with removable blade — Jaina’s specific saber colour, distinguishing her from both her uncle Luke (blue/green) and the Sith tradition (red). Blaster pistol — the pilot’s sidearm inherited from her father’s tradition. Flight helmet — the pilot configuration that reflects her X-Wing combat role. Removable vest — her layered costume’s outer layer. Five total accessories give this figure more display configuration options than almost any other Red Line release.
20 joints via the extended scheme: dual neck, ball-jointed shoulders, ball-jointed elbows, ball-jointed wrists, ball-jointed upper body, swivel lower body, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, above and below knee swivels, ball-jointed ankles.
Legends Context: Jaina and the Post-ROTJ EU
The Legends Expanded Universe constructed an extensive post-ROTJ Star Wars galaxy across hundreds of novels, comics, and games between 1991 and 2014. Jaina Solo is one of its most significant original characters — born in the Legends continuity, existing only in Legends, and representing the vision of what Luke Skywalker’s generation’s children would have been. The 2014 restructure that designated the pre-Disney material as “Legends” rather than canon ended the story she was part of.
The Black Series figure captures her in the classic Legends costume, making her accessible to collectors who knew the character from the novels and a potential introduction to the EU tradition for collectors who didn’t. Alongside Darth Revan (#34), she establishes the Red Line as a comprehensive franchise collection that explicitly includes the Legends timeline.
The Only Black Series Jaina Solo
One release. No Galaxy Collection update, no Archive reissue, no variant configuration. For any Legends EU display, this is the sole Black Series Jaina Solo option. The five-accessory loadout makes the figure’s completeness on secondary markets easy to verify: all five accessories should be present (saber hilt, blade, blaster, flight helmet, vest).
Secondary Market
Jaina Solo commands above-retail secondary market prices — Fan Choice provenance, Legends collector demand, unique character, no replacement. Verify all five accessories on secondary market purchases. The flight helmet is the easiest to lose; the lightsaber blade is the second most likely to be separated. A complete Jaina Solo has: saber hilt, purple blade (attaches to hilt), blaster pistol, flight helmet, and vest.
Verdict
The only Black Series Jaina Solo. Buy for the Legends EU display, the Sword of the Jedi character significance, or Red Line sequence completion. One of the best-accessorised figures in the Red Line wave.
Jaina Solo’s Five-Accessory Loadout in Detail
The five accessories deserves specific examination because it’s genuinely unusual in the Red Line sequence. Purple lightsaber and blade: the specific colour choice reflects Jaina’s status as a Jedi who has walked the balance between light and dark, in the tradition of Mace Windu’s amethyst blade. Blaster pistol: the Han Solo inheritance — the pilot-Jedi’s practical backup. Flight helmet: Jaina’s X-Wing pilot identity, the “Sword of the Jedi” who is also among the best stick-and-rudder pilots in the New Jedi Order. Removable vest: the layered costume that reflects her dual identity. All five together give the display flexibility that few Red Line figures offer.
The Legends EU and the Black Series
Jaina Solo’s presence at #56 — just one number after Rose Tico, just three numbers after Snoke — illustrates the specific eclecticism of the Red Line’s later numbered sequence. TLJ sequel trilogy figures share the sequence with Legends-era EU characters, with Rebels animated series characters, with original trilogy repacks. The sequence stopped being a wave structure and became something more like a collector’s index of everything the franchise is. Jaina at #56 is the line saying: Legends characters count. Their stories count. The readers who grew up with them are part of this.
The five-accessory loadout also means the figure rewards the kind of close engagement that the best Black Series figures invite. Each accessory tells a story about the character: the purple saber is her Jedi identity, the blaster is her father’s inheritance, the helmet is her pilot life, the vest is the layering of all three. A figure you can configure differently for different display contexts — combat Jaina, pilot Jaina, both simultaneously — is a figure that earns its shelf space beyond mere presence.
