Star Wars Black Series The Last Jedi

The Star Wars Black Series Last Jedi sub-line covers the 2017 film with seven Galaxy Collection figures released between 2021 and 2023 — Photo Real updates of the film’s central characters alongside fresh releases for characters who received only limited Black Series treatment in the original Red Line run. The Last Jedi Red Line produced 14 figures at launch including the film’s most significant new designs, and the Galaxy Collection TLJ sub-line refines and expands on this foundation with current production standards.

The Last Jedi sub-line’s most distinctive contribution to the Star Wars Black Series is its Elite Praetorian Guard coverage — the red-armoured throne room guards whose fight sequence with Rey and Kylo Ren is one of the most choreographed action scenes in the sequel trilogy. The Praetorian Guard (TLJ) at TLJ 03 joins the Red Line’s Elite Praetorian Guard from #50 to give this highly army-buildable design strong representation across both eras.

The Galaxy Collection TLJ Sub-Line

Rey (Jedi Training) at TLJ 01 is the Galaxy Collection version of Rey in her Ahch-To training outfit — grey wrapping, lightsaber, Photo Real face printing for the Daisy Ridley likeness in her most Force-focused configuration. Kylo Ren (TLJ) at TLJ 02 is the unmasked Kylo Ren from the film’s second act — scar across his face, the configuration that distinguishes TLJ Kylo from the masked versions in other sub-lines. The unmasked portrait makes this the most face-print-dependent Kylo Ren figure in the line, and the Photo Real technology makes it one of the strongest.

Praetorian Guard (TLJ) at TLJ 03 is a crimson-armoured throne room guard — a different weapon configuration to the Red Line’s Praetorian Guard, providing army builders with two distinct loadouts for the Snoke’s throne room display. Luke Skywalker (TLJ) at TLJ 04 covers the Ahch-To hermit configuration — grey robes, weathered look, the Luke who has retreated from the Force. Rose Tico (TLJ) at TLJ 05 is the Resistance maintenance worker — a character who received a Red Line figure but whose Galaxy Collection version with Photo Real is the current recommendation. Vice Admiral Holdo (TLJ) at TLJ 06 is the Resistance commander whose hyperspace kamikaze manoeuvre defines the film’s most visually spectacular moment — a civilian command figure in formal attire whose narrative significance far exceeds her accessories. DJ (TLJ) at TLJ 07 is the morally ambiguous codebreaker played by Benicio del Toro — a supporting character who adds criminal underworld depth to the Canto Bight sub-plot display.

The Red Line TLJ Run

The Force Awakens launch established the Red Line; The Last Jedi was the first new film within the Red Line era. The fourteen TLJ Red Line figures — released across 2017 and 2018 — include several characters and designs that have not received Galaxy Collection updates. Snoke at #54 remains the only Black Series version of the Supreme Leader as of 2025 — no Galaxy Collection update despite the character’s throne room significance. Captain Poe Dameron at #53 in his Resistance bomber pilot jacket, Maz Kanata at #49, and General Leia at #52 all appear only in Red Line packaging. The Elite Praetorian Guard at #50 was one of the Red Line’s most popular figures and remains the primary Praetorian Guard army builder given its earlier release and established secondary market.

Snoke’s Throne Room — The Key Display

The TLJ’s defining action set piece is the throne room fight — Rey and Kylo Ren against the Praetorian Guards. The display requires: Kylo Ren (TLJ) unmasked, Rey (Jedi Training) with lightsaber, multiple Praetorian Guard variants, and Snoke from the Red Line on the throne. This is the most display-coherent scene in the TLJ sub-line and one where the army-building Praetorian Guard justifies purchasing multiple figures.

Galaxy Collection vs Red Line — TLJ Assessment

The Galaxy Collection TLJ sub-line covers seven characters with Photo Real updates. For the remaining seven Red Line-only characters — Snoke, General Leia, Maz Kanata, Captain Poe Dameron, First Order Heavy Assault Walker Driver, Resistance Tech Rose, and Canto Bight Police Patrol — the Red Line releases remain the best available versions. Snoke in particular is a notable absence from the Galaxy Collection update programme given his prominence in the throne room scene.

The Last Jedi in Context

The Last Jedi was a divisive film that also proved divisive for the Black Series — its unconventional story choices created unusual collector dynamics. Characters like Vice Admiral Holdo and Rose Tico generated sustained controversy among portions of the collector base that rarely surfaces in the line’s other sub-lines. The DJ figure arriving in 2023 — six years after the film — reflects slow collector demand for a supporting character rather than a production delay. Despite this, the Galaxy Collection TLJ sub-line maintains the line’s standard of quality and the Photo Real Kylo Ren unmasked is among the strongest portrait captures in the sequel trilogy range.

Building a Last Jedi Display

Three primary scene targets exist for TLJ display builds. Snoke’s Throne Room: Kylo Ren (TLJ), Rey (Jedi Training), Praetorian Guard (TLJ) variants, Red Line Elite Praetorian Guard, and Snoke — achievable from a combination of both eras. Ahch-To: Luke Skywalker (TLJ), Rey (Jedi Training) — a sparse but powerful two-figure confrontation display. The Crait assault is covered primarily through First Order Executioner Trooper and AT-M6 Walker Driver from the Red Line TLJ run.

Secondary Market

Galaxy Collection TLJ figures are widely available at or near retail given recent production. Red Line TLJ figures trade at moderate secondary market prices. Elite Praetorian Guard (#50, 2017) is the most sought-after Red Line TLJ figure and commands a premium given its army-building appeal and the precedence of the #50 milestone number. Snoke (#54) is moderately priced and widely available — collecting demand for the Supreme Leader is relatively subdued compared to the film’s primary heroes and villains.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Last Jedi Black Series figure? Kylo Ren (TLJ) unmasked for the most significant character-specific release in the sub-line. Praetorian Guard (TLJ) for army-building value. Vice Admiral Holdo for a uniquely civilian high-command figure.

The Last Jedi — A Collector’s Reassessment

Whatever the film’s reception, the Black Series TLJ figures represent some of the most interesting collector propositions in the sequel trilogy range. Vice Admiral Holdo is the only pure command-civilian figure in the sequel trilogy Black Series — no weapons, no combat accessories, a figure whose display significance is entirely about the character’s narrative arc. Rose Tico similarly challenges the action figure format’s conventional assumptions about who warrants figure treatment. DJ as the morally grey codebreaker represents the kind of supporting antagonist the Black Series rarely produces. Together these three figures make the TLJ sub-line the most character-diverse of the three sequel sub-lines even if its total figure count is modest.

The Praetorian Guard programme — spanning both the Red Line and Galaxy Collection eras — is the sub-line’s strongest collecting argument regardless of film preference. Two distinct weapon configurations, both in high-quality production eras, give the throne room scene army-building depth that few Black Series scenes can match.
