Summary
The previously hinted-atLEGO Star Warsminifigure ofStar Wars Jedi: Survivorprotagonist Cal Kestis has finally been confirmed as part of an upcoming Imperial Star Destroyer set. While the popularLEGO Star Warsline has primarily focused on theStar Warsmovies and shows, there have been sets and minifigures based on the numerous video games over the years. In addition to collectible versions of famousStar Warsgaming characters like Starkiller and Darth Malek, the lovable BD-1 fromStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderhad a model based on it back in 2022.
Rumor had it that Cal Kestis would be joining his faithful droid counterpart as a LEGO minifigure, and it was believed that he would be packaged with a Death Star set released to commemorate theLEGO Star Warsline’s 25th anniversary. This would later be supported by Cal’s appearance in a recentLEGO Star Warspromotional video, in which he and BD-1 dived in to help Saw Gerrera and the crew of the Ghost fromStar Wars Rebelsbattle Imperial Stormtroopers before joining the other plastic heroes of the Galaxy Far, Far Away for a group photo.
It has now been officially confirmed that a LEGO minifigure version ofStar Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Cal Kestiswill be released alongside the upcoming 25th anniversary Imperial Star Destroyer set, which is now available to pre-order onAmazon. This buildable battleship is slated to be released on August 1 and will reportedly cost $159.99. Cal Kestis will come packaged with his trusty lightsaber and a buildable character stand. Other LEGO characters included in the set are Darth Vader, Commander Praji, an Imperial Gunner, an Imperial Navy Trooper, and a Stormtrooper.
LEGO Cal Kestis Minifigure Release Date
Cal Kestis’s inclusion in an Imperial Star Destroyer LEGO set may seem a bit random at first, as theStar Wars Jedi: Survivorprotagonistisn’t immediately associated with the Empire’s dreaded war vessel. However, this does continue theLEGO Star Wars25th-anniversary line’s tendency to place unrelated exclusive minifigures in its sets. For example, the previously-mentioned Darth Malek ofKnights of the Old Republicfame came packaged with an R2-D2 set, while Saw Gerrera was included in a model of Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator fromThe Phanom Menace.
Nonetheless, fans who have been looking forward to seeing Cal Kestis inLEGO Star Warsminifigure form have an official confirmation that he is indeed on the way as the exclusive bonus for theLEGO Imperial Star Destroyerset that will be released in August. In the meantime, players are still awaiting news of the thirdStar Wars Jedigame, which was last hinted at in a job listing at developer Respawn Entertainment.
