Ahmed Best’s Jedi Master Kelleran Beq Minifigure Makes This New Mandalorian/Orer 66 LEGO Set Unmissable

LEGO has released the first official images of their new Star Wars set inspired by The Mandalorian season 3’s Order 66 flashback. Starring Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best who plays the new Star Wars character Kelleran Beq, it was revealed that Best’s character was the Jedi Master who saved Grogu during the tragic events of the Jedi Purge. Now, the duo’s escape is getting the brick-built treatment.

Releasing on May 1st just ahead of May the Fourth, LEGO’s new BARC Speeder Escape (75378) depicts the exciting escape from Coruscant after Beq savs Grogu from the Jedi Temple that was under siege by the newly christened Darth Vader and the 501st Legion. To that end, the new set comes with minifigures of two 501st clone troopers, Grogu, and the first-ever minifigure of Kelleran Beq himself, complete with his dual lightsabers and gold trim on his unique Jedi robes. The speeder itself looks like a fun build as well, including Grogu’s sidecar seen in the Order 66 flashback:

Additionally, the new Barc Speeder Escape (75378) goes perfectly with LEGO’s Coruscant Guard Gunship (75354) which was released in 2023, allowing Star Wars collectors to recreate the chase scene in full before Kelleran and Grogu successfully flee Coruscant to parts unknown.

Ahmed Best Is A Stand-Out From The Mandalorian Season 3

Best Reacts To His New LEGO Figure On Social Media

Without question, Kelleran Beq was a major stand-out character in The Mandalorian season 3, providing major vindication for Best who received all kinds of praise for his return compared to his portrayal of Jar Jar in the Star Wars prequels, a role that’s long been disliked by several Star Wars fans. Despite playing the character perfectly as he was written, Best unfairly received waves of toxic criticism for his first Star Wars role. As such, the love Kelleran Beq is well-deserved and long overdue. Likewise, Ahmed Best himself gave a very sweet reaction to his new LEGO minifigure on Instagram:

Clearly, Ahmed Best understands the heart of the LEGO medium, as it’s very satisfying to see such a heartwarming response to a model that’s only been made due to the outpouring of love Kelleran Beq received after his debut in The Mandalorian. With any luck, Jedi Master Beq will be seen again in future flashbacks. Featuring a great amount of detail, this new LEGO minifigure of Kelleran Beq is one Star Wars collectors won’t want to miss when Barc Speeder Escape (75378) releases on May 1st.
