Behold the BARC Speeder™ Escape set (75378)!! Now I’m going to be honest, as always. For me there is only one reason to really buy this set. That is for the Kelleran Beq minifigure of course! Yet more justice for the great Ahmed Best.
Best known for his portrayal of Jar Jar Binks in the prequels Best was met with so much hate from original trilogy fans that it almost destroyed his career. Totally uncalled for, the man was just doing what he was told to do. Besides Jar Jar is a create character and adds so much goodness to The Phantom Menace!
Best never lost love for the Star Wars galaxy as he first played Kelleran Beq in the TV show Star Wars: Jedi Challenge (That first aired in June 2020). He was known as the dean of the padawans, one of the only jedi’s to only be dedicated to teaching. Also known as a master with a lightsaber, just like how we see him in live action in The Mandalorian S3.
The minifigure itself comes with excellent detail on the torso, just like we see in live action. It also comes with a cape, the best jedi minifigures always come with capes! Like I said before. You have to get it for your collection as we most likely will never get a Beq minifigure again.
Alright, I know I went a little off topic. Back to the actual set. The set retails for £24.99 / $29.99 and has 221 pieces. In total you get 4 minifigures, Kelleran Beq, Grogu and 2 501st Clone Troopers. I’m sure you’ll all agree we’ve been harrassed with the amount of 501st figures we’ve been getting, so I’ll say it one last time, get it for the Beq figure.
