Emperor's Royal Guard (Coruscant Security) Action Figure: Overview

Chronologically this is our first glimpse of what were to become the Emperor's Royal Guards in the Return of the Jedi. However, this Saga Series Emperor's Royal Guard action figure really feels like he belongs attached to The Revenge of the Sith rather than The Attack of the Clones but since the figure was released three years before The Revenge of the Sith came out at the cinemas he has to go here. These guards do actually appear briefly in the background in The Attack of the Clones and provide us with a subtle reminder of the trajectory of the plot from here on to The Return of the Jedi. In this sense it's quite a nice touch but it's such a fleeting glance that I've never consciously associated these Coruscant Guards with Star Wars Episode II.

Sometimes, the force pike can unfortunately make the Guard figure look like he's holding a blind man's cane and you can imagine him feeling his way around the pavements of Coruscant trying to find his way around. The figure's black visor only serves to compound the impression of his sightlessness. I think the longer pikes on other iterations of the action figure work much better. I had some real trouble attaching the force lightening to the pikes without it falling off.

All Star Wars action figures, vehicles, collectibles and Star Wars toys shown on this website are the 3.75 inch scale and from my own private Star Wars collection unless otherwise stated. Where possible original vintage accessories have been used but in some instances I have placed Kenner Star Wars figures with either reproduction weapons and accessories or for Hasbro figures close approximations have been used. This is mostly the case for modern Star Wars lightsabers where the correct item can be very difficult to identify on some ocassions. Vintage Star Wars action figures are shown with their original weapon or accessory when I have them. When a vintage Kenner action figure is shown with an accessory which is not original I have tried to point this out where possible.

All of the Star Wars action figures shown were purchased second hand, usually incomplete, and in bulk. They have been reunited with their original weapons and accessories where we could get hold of them.
