Staff Hobby Feature – Customizable Jedi General and Knight

In the waning years of the Galactic Republic, the Jedi Order found itself pulled from its role as peacekeepers into the heart of a galaxy spanning war. As seen across the Clone Wars, even the most disciplined Jedi were forced to adapt, balancing their ideals with the realities of leading troops into battle.

In this Atomic Mass Transmission, the studio team explores that storytelling through the Galactic Republic Customizable Jedi General and Knight, bringing unique Jedi Commanders to life for their very own armies to battle on the tabletop.

Kevin Kircus
As an avid 212th player, Obi-Wan Kenobi is always my go to Jedi, so when approaching the build your own kit, I had to figure out how to represent a second Jedi within my 212th. I landed on the idea of a special operations Jedi working alongside my clone commandos without formally being part of them. That concept drove the white and dark color scheme, including the black Jedi emblem on his pauldron.

Will Pagani
I built my Jedi Commander as a more regal general, standing behind the lines and directing troops from a distance. That lines up with the equipment and playstyle I plan to use. I enjoy support oriented commanders, so I saved the more aggressive options for a future Operative build.

The color scheme matches my existing Republic army, and I am looking forward to adding this commander to the collection.

Will Shick
For my customized commander, I was really drawn to mixing the armored and unarmored torso and legs. The asymmetry creates a strong visual, but it also helps tell a story. These Jedi have traditionally been peacekeepers and guardians, and now they are being pushed into leading armies across a war torn galaxy. The partial armor reflects that tension. They have not fully embraced their role, and that hesitation comes through in the design.

From a painting perspective, splitting the design also opened up more opportunities to explore different materials within a single composition. If anyone is interested in a similar build, just be aware that it requires a bit of light hobby work, as the connection points between the legs and torso need to be trimmed. It is a small adjustment, but well worth it for the final result.

For my Jedi, I wanted to tie him into my Clone Lucky 13’s color scheme. I went with the nagamaki style lightsaber, the armored body, and the Bith head for something that felt unique and a bit unexpected.

I carried over the worn whites and blacks from my clone scheme and settled on a green lightsaber after testing a few options. I used the ProAcryl AMP sets to finalize the look. Now I just need to go back and freehand a Jedi Order symbol on the shoulder after seeing Kevin’s version. I cannot let him be the only one doing freehand work!

Thanks team! From the battlefields of Geonosis to the Outer Rim sieges, Jedi Commanders have reflected the duality of the Order, warriors shaped by conflict yet grounded in peacekeeping. These customizable builds capture that balance, offering a way to tell new stories within a familiar galaxy.
