Koffi Arana has balljointed knees, peg hips, peg waist, balljointed shoulders, peg elbows and peg wrists. The haircut is similar and that's about it. Maybe the changes were made to avoid paying Gervais any fees for his likeness? The figure doesn't bear much of a resemblence to the Koffi Arana seen in the comic, either. He's a distinctive-looking guy, and this figure manages to capture none of it. Yes, this is an Expanded Universe Jedi toy, but that Jedi was still based on a real person: he wasn't just a CGI creation in the movie, you know? Musician Gervais Koffi was born in Bouake in the Ivory Coast, but moved to Australia in 1998, which is where he was cast as an extra for Ep.3. His ensemble is capped off by a grey backpack that almost looks like a Ghostbusters proton pack. There are long strips hanging from the belt - in the comic they're cloth, but for the figure they're just sculpted plastic. The armor has gold highlights, and he's wearing brown clothes underneath. Well, "strange" only in that we've never seen the sort before. Since he's on the run, Koffi has ditched his Jedi robes for strange red armor. The diehard fans can tell you that he was seen exiting a briefing room as Anakin entered in Episode III, but it's a real "blink and you'll miss it" appearance. Arana is based on one of the multitudinous generic Jedi seen wandering the Jedi Temple in the prequel films. This comic pack (number 13 in the series) offers two new Jedi, starting with the impetuous Koffi Arana.
She brings together a handful of Jedi on the planet Kessel and leaks a false rumor that Obi-Wan Kenobi will be there, knowing Vader will take the bait. Bultar Swan has a plan to crush the new Empire: destroy Darth Vader and thus weaken the Emperor and his fledgling rule. The Jedi are on the run or in hiding after Order 66 wiped out most of the venerable order. Thus, it falls to Dark Horse Comics to fill in the gaps, and that's just what they did with their Star Wars: Purge one-shot. Though we got to see the beginning of the Great Jedi Purge in Revenge of the Sith, there was still a long way to go before we reached the point of Yoda and Obi-Wan being the only two Jedi in the universe. Also included with this figure is a folding pamphlet that shows other toys in The 30th Anniversary Collection.B u y t h e t o y s, n o t t h e h y p e.For more information on the Marvel Comics Star Wars comic book one-shot, check out our news story and cover sketch gallery.She brings together a handful of Jedi on the planet Kessel and leaks a false rumor that Obi-Wan Kenobi will be there, knowing Vader will take the bait.and the Jedi will be waiting for him.
