Jedi Knight Selig Kennjenn Quick Review

Jedi Knight Selig Kennjenn

Welcome to a quick review of Selig Kennjenn from the Star Wars Toys R'Us exclusive Battle of Geonosis, Jedi Knight Set #2.

This is the first time we've had to photoshop this many lightsabers.

Anyway, Jedi Knight Selig Kennjen is part of a 4-pack that includes: Jedi Knights Que-Mars Redath-Gom and
Khaat Qiyn, and; Clone Captain Deviss.

Of the three Jedi Knights in the pack, only Kennjen would survive the 1st Battle of Geonosis (Jedi Knight Khaat Qiyn's death is not yet set in stone). However, of the three, Jedi Knight Selig Kennjen is the only one who did not appear in Star Wars Episode II's Battle of Geonosis.

In fact he only appears in unused promotional artwork.

MORE AFTER THE JUMP

Leeland Y Chee

Jedi Knight Selig Kennjenn was modeled after a piece of artwork that featured the "Keeper of the Star Wars Holocron of continuity" (He literally maintains the Star Wars Holocron Continuity Database) Leeland Chee (Who goes by the screename Leeland Y Chee). This makes him one of the few Asian based Star Wars characters - like Jedi Knight Bultar Swan.

Though now that the Star Wars Expanded Universe Continuity has been shot to pieces thanks to the new films, we're not sure if he still has a job.

Jedi Knight Selig Kennjenn would survive the initial Order 66, but fell to a Stormtrooper assault along with two other Jedi in the Imperial purge that followed.

WHAT'S TO LIKE ABOUT THE JEDI KNIGHT SELIF KENNJENN ACTION FIGURE?

• He's Asian, that's a good thing.
• Upper body articulation is excellent
• He comes armed with two lightsabers of differing colors - which is unique as far as we can tell. It also makes him a  Jar'Kai user.
• He can dual wield a single lightsaber if he has to.

WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT THE JEDI KNIGHT SELIF KENNJENN ACTION FIGURE?

• Lower body articulation is practically non-existence thanks to the hard plastic used in his tunic.
• He comes with the mounting pegs for a single lightsaber but carries two.
• The lightsabers don't have mounting pegs and you can't remove the blades
• Both lightsaber blades were bent

Given that Jedi Selig was based upon artwork, only has the mounting peg for one lightsaber and comes armed with two of different colors, it might actually be possible that the second lightsaber is not his and belongs to another Jedi who died before he did.

A brand new Star Wars Toys R'Us exclusive Battle of Geonosis, Jedi Knight Set #2 will set you back on Amazon a whopping US$ 189.89 (Roughly PhP 9,684 plus shipping). Wow.
