Star Wars Black Series Siege of Mandalore

The Siege of Mandalore is the finale arc of Star Wars: The Clone Wars — the four episodes that close out the series and run simultaneously with the events of Revenge of the Sith. It’s considered the high point of Clone Wars storytelling, and the Black Series has covered it with a completeness it extends to very few other scenes: every significant character present in the arc has a figure, all from the same Clone Wars sub-line, all at consistent modern production quality. This is one of the most achievable major scene displays in the line, and one of the most rewarding to complete.

The Scene in Star Wars

Ahsoka Tano has been absent from the Republic and the Jedi Order for over a year by the time the Siege of Mandalore begins. She left after being falsely accused of bombing the Jedi Temple and then cleared when the real culprit was found — but the experience of being abandoned by the Council, tried for a crime she didn’t commit, and offered reinstatement as if the whole episode had been an inconvenience left her unwilling to return. She’s been operating independently since.

The Siege brings her back into contact with the Republic’s war effort — not as a Jedi, but as a tactical commander with a specific mission. Bo-Katan Kryze needs help taking Mandalore back from Maul. Anakin and Obi-Wan can’t commit to the operation because of events at Coruscant. Ahsoka takes it on. Rex and the 332nd Company — clone troopers who have painted their helmets with Ahsoka’s facial marking patterns as a tribute to a commander they still believe in — go with her.

The arc’s climax is Ahsoka defeating Maul in single combat on Mandalore’s surface. She captures him. That’s when Order 66 executes, and everything changes. The ship carrying Maul, Ahsoka, and the 332nd becomes a trap — clones who were, minutes ago, comrades and allies are now trying to kill her. Rex, whose inhibitor chip hasn’t fully overridden his identity, fights the compulsion long enough for Ahsoka to get it removed. What follows is a harrowing escape from a ship full of people who have been turned against her by biology rather than choice.

The Siege ends with Ahsoka burying 332nd clone troopers in the snow — troopers who died wearing her face — and dropping her lightsaber among them. She walks away from the Clone Wars, the Republic, and everything that came before. The next time she picks up a lightsaber the galaxy looks completely different.

The 332nd Company

The 332nd Clone Trooper is the display’s visual centrepiece and its best army-building target. The orange facial markings on Phase II armour — applied by the troopers themselves as a tribute to Ahsoka — make this the most visually distinctive clone variant the Black Series has produced. They’re not a standard military unit. They’re a statement of loyalty to someone the Jedi Order discarded, made by people who chose their allegiance over their orders.

For army building, the 332nd are the reason to acquire multiples. Two figures flanking Ahsoka creates an immediate visual impact. A squad of four or more communicates the scale of the tribute. The orange markings are visible across the shelf in a way that standard Phase II white armour isn’t.

Clone Commander Jesse leads the 332nd — the commander with the distinctive Republic cog tattooed across his helmet visor, whose execution of Order 66 against Ahsoka is the arc’s most painful moment. His figure captures the specific helmet design accurately, and his presence in the display gives the Order 66 turn a face rather than an anonymous clone unit.

Ahsoka Tano

The Clone Wars Ahsoka — blue and white, mature configuration, the character at her most capable — is the essential figure for this display. She’s not a Jedi in the Siege arc but she fights like one, and the figure captures the specific late-Clone Wars aesthetic that makes her Rebels and live-action appearances so visually continuous.

The Ahsoka Tano (Padawan) figure is also tagged to this scene — her earlier orange and white configuration, which contrasts with the mature blue-and-white version and communicates how much the character has developed. Both figures together tell Ahsoka’s arc within the Clone Wars sub-line.

Darth Maul and the Mandalorian Faction

The Darth Maul (Cybernetic Legs) is the Siege’s primary antagonist — the Shadow Collective warlord who controls Mandalore and whom the entire mission is designed to capture. The mechanical legs configuration is the Clone Wars resurrection Maul, distinct from the spider legs of his earlier Clone Wars appearances and reflecting the more stable, more dangerous version of the character that the later seasons develop.

The Mandalorian Loyalist and Mandalorian Super Commando are Maul’s Death Watch faction — the warriors who defend his control of Mandalore and who the 332nd Company are fighting through the arc’s battle sequences. As army-building figures they provide the Siege display’s opposing force and visual variety alongside the clone trooper side.

Pre Vizsla connects the Mandalorian political context to the display without being present in the Siege arc specifically — his story predates it, but the Darksaber he wields is the weapon at the centre of Mandalorian succession politics that the Siege is partly about.

Sourcing

The Siege of Mandalore display has a significant Walmart exclusive concentration. Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars), the 332nd Clone Trooper, the Mandalorian Loyalist, and the Mandalorian Super Commando are all Walmart exclusives from the 2020 launch wave. Clone Commander Jesse is also a Walmart exclusive from 2023. Darth Maul (Cybernetic Legs) and Pre Vizsla are standard mainline. Collectors unable to source Walmart exclusives at retail should expect secondary market pricing for the core figures — particularly Ahsoka (Clone Wars) and the 332nd, which are the display’s essential pieces.
