Jedi Bob,^[1]^[2] originally known generically as a Jedi Knight,^[3] is a LEGO Jedi Knight minifigure from the Star Wars theme. He was first introduced in 2002.

In 2024 he was reintroduced with the full name Bobarian Afol.

Description[]

Jedi Bob comes with all standard LEGO minifigure body parts. In his original 2002 release, he has a completely earth orange leg piece, a dark grey tunic for his torso piece, completely dark grey arm pieces, two bright yellow hands, and a yellow head. The head piece depicts a man with two black dot eyes, a grey beard, two grey eyebrows and a confident white smile. This Jedi Knight possessed an earth orange cape, earth orange hood, and a transparent flourescent green lightsaber with metalized silver hilt.

Jedi Bob's 2024 rerelease updates retired colors, replacing earth orange with reddish brown, dark grey with dark stone grey, transparent flourescent green with transparent bright green, and metalized silver with silver ink. His face and torso prints are slightly worn akin to Benny, and his face is now dual-sided with the alternate expression being serious. Unlike all other Star Wars human characters since 2004, Jedi Bob retains the original bright yellow skin.

Background[]

Jedi Bob is an original character originally created to represent any generic Jedi Knight. This Jedi Knight was known to have participated in the Battle of Geonosis and flown on a Republic Gunship along with four Clone Troopers. He is likely to have fought against at least one Droideka and two Super Battle Droids, using his green-bladed lightsaber. Further information about this Jedi's history is unknown due to the ransacking of the Jedi Temple during the Jedi Purge, which destroyed many records in the Archives.^[1]

Jedi Bob returns as a major character in LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy. He provides guidance to Sig Greebling after the latter accidentally unearths the Cornerstone.

Naming[]

From 2002 until 2009, this minifigure has been known only as "Jedi Knight" from the product description of the 7163 Republic Gunship. Later on in the year 2009, the 2853402 LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary was released and his minifigure was given an entry titled "Jedi Bob". However, the entry does state that his name only may have been Bob.^[1] It is more likely that the name was given to him for for lack of a better name or him simply being an anonymous character, with no basis. The rerelease of the character in 2024 made the name "Jedi Bob" official, with the name featured prominently in LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy and 75388 Jedi Bob's Starfighter.

JEDI BOB

The end of the Clone Wars sees most Jedi killed and the Jedi Temple ransacked, with many records lost. All we know about this Jedi (whose name may have been Bob) is that he once flew on a Republic gunship (set 7163).
