Rey (Jedi Training) — Star Wars The Black Series #44

Overview

Red Line #44 is Rey in her Jedi Training configuration from The Last Jedi — the Ahch-To island training outfit, the specific look of Rey during the portion of the film spent on the island with Luke Skywalker learning what the Force is and who she might be within it. This is a different Rey from the Jakku scavenger of TFA: same person, different context, beginning the transition from Jakku survivor to potential Jedi.

A documented Wound On Arm / No Wound On Arm variant exists. The standard version has a painted wound on Rey’s arm — specifically from the Snoke’s throne room fight in TLJ. The No Wound On Arm variant is an earlier production run that lacks this paint detail. The wound version is the correct film reference; it is the detail that confirms this figure’s TLJ configuration rather than a generic Jakku Rey. MSRP $19.99.

The Character in The Last Jedi

Rey’s Ahch-To arc in TLJ is built on a specific disillusionment: she goes to the island expecting Luke Skywalker to be the legend she’s been told about — the hero who defeated the Emperor, the last Jedi — and finds instead a man who has convinced himself that the Jedi Order was a catastrophic failure and his own participation in it was the worst mistake of his life. The island sequences are Rey confronting the gap between the mythology and the reality, and choosing to believe in something the reality doesn’t directly support.

The training outfit is the costume of that confrontation — simpler than the TFA jacket, more deliberately Jedi-inflected than the Jakku scavenging gear. The specific grey and white colour palette of Ahch-To dresses her in the island’s own tones.

The blue lightsaber she carries is Anakin Skywalker’s weapon — the one that called to her in Maz Kanata’s basement in TFA, the one Luke refuses to take from her at the film’s start, the one she uses throughout TLJ. The specific weight of carrying Anakin’s saber into her first real training is not underlined in the film but it’s present.

Accessories

Blue lightsaber (Anakin’s — with removable blade) and a training accessory consistent with the Ahch-To sequences. The lightsaber fits both hands. The arm wound detail is the primary variant to verify on secondary market purchases.

Articulation: 19 points via the standard Red Line dual neck scheme.

The Wound On Arm Variant: Purchase Guidance

The No Wound On Arm variant lacks the painted arm wound that identifies this figure as the TLJ configuration. Both versions display equivalently at shelf distance — the wound is a small painted detail that requires close inspection to verify. For secondary market purchases where film accuracy matters, examine listing photographs for the arm detail. The wound version is preferred and is the later production run.

Rey’s Full Black Series Configuration Arc

Ten releases across the trilogy. Key configurations: Jakku (2015) — TFA first act, staff only. Jedi Training (this figure, 2018) — TLJ Ahch-To, blue lightsaber. Island Journey (2018) — TLJ island with different accessory configuration. Rey & D-O (2019) — TROS configuration. The Jedi Training version is specifically the TLJ Ahch-To training phase, distinct from the island-in-later-TLJ configuration.

TLJ Rey vs TFA Rey for Display

The two primary Rey configurations — Jakku scavenger and Jedi Training — tell different parts of the same character arc. The Jakku figure is Rey before she has a vocabulary for who she is; the Jedi Training figure is Rey in the middle of acquiring one. Displaying both communicates the arc without requiring any named secondary characters. The staff vs lightsaber accessory swap between the two figures is the visual encapsulation of the change.

Secondary Market

The Red Line Jedi Training Rey is available at modest secondary market prices. The Wound On Arm version is preferred; verify in listing photos. No other production variants documented.

Verdict

Buy for the TLJ Ahch-To training configuration, the specific blue-lightsaber Jedi Training display, or Red Line sequence completion. Verify the arm wound detail on secondary market purchases — wound version is the correct film-accurate production. The wound is a small painted detail on the forearm consistent with the specific throne room fight sequence in TLJ where Snoke’s guard wounds Rey before Kylo Ren kills Snoke. Its presence or absence is the clearest single indicator of which production run a secondary market figure comes from.

The Last Jedi’s Treatment of Rey’s Training

TLJ’s Ahch-To sequences are deliberately structured to subvert the training-montage tradition. Where Luke’s Dagobah training in ESB is visually heroic — Jedi poses, lightsaber practice against impossible targets, Force-lifting of enormous objects — Rey’s Ahch-To training is emotionally charged confrontation. Luke refuses to train her properly; she goes to the dark side cave alone without preparation; she discovers that her questions about her parents have an answer she doesn’t want. The training configuration is the costume of that specific frustration and growth.

The figure’s lightsaber — Anakin Skywalker’s weapon that called to Rey in TFA’s Maz Kanata basement — carries the specific weight of being a weapon the previous generation couldn’t hand off cleanly. Luke threw it aside when Rey offered it to him. It’s still Rey’s to carry.

Rey at the End of the Red Line

Red Line #44 appearing in 2018 marks the transition from the Red Line’s original 2015-2017 concentrated release period into the wave’s later years. By #44, the line has covered every major character era from TFA, Rogue One, Rebels, Classic Original Trilogy, and Legends — the scope the Red Line established continues through 2018 and beyond. The Jedi Training Rey at #44 is the configuration that connects the Red Line’s TFA-era Jakku Rey (#02) to the TLJ-era active Jedi-aspirant, completing the sequel era’s first two films within the numbered sequence.

For collectors building a complete TLJ display: Rey (Jedi Training) alongside a Kylo Ren TLJ figure — the two characters whose Force-connection is the film’s most sustained and inventive storytelling — creates the specific TLJ emotional core in two figures. The Ahch-To training configuration places Rey at the philosophical heart of the film rather than in its action sequences, which is where TLJ is most interesting.
