WHAT THIS MEANS
The Mythos line is unique, producing iterations of iconic characters that come straight from the word of legends. Obi-Wan Kenobi has always had the flair for the dramatic, and the Jedi General standing over a downed Super Battle Droid is the man of the hour in the latest Sideshow statue.
General Kenobi here is based on his appearances in both The Clone Wars and the 2D Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series from the early 2000's. Fans of the former are aware that the costume design was worn by Obi-Wan during the first two seasons of the show, while the Clone helmet was donned by the Jedi Master in the original show.
It's always great to see the prequel and Clone Wars era get some love, and the General Obi-Wan Kenobi statue will make a fine addition to many fans' collections. He served the Republic well during the Clone Wars, and now the Mythos Obi-Wan can serve your display case with equal valor.
