Do you remember the movie Star Wars Episode i ? Do you recall the scene when Queen Amidala arrives at Coruscant and is recieved by Chancellor Valorum ? He is flanked by two “Coruscant guards” in royal blue wearing black double crested mod versions of ancient Greek helmets. They wore long velvety robes and carried large blaster rifles. In Episode III when Mace Windu meets Anakin after his crash landing & rescue of Chancellor Palapatine they are flanked by an updated version of these silent blue robed sentinels & are now called “Senate guards” this time the helmets have shaded visors covering the face and sport a short single unadorned crest atop their heads. To add what I think is the final concept of this guard the Animated Series ’ Star Wars –The Clone Wars” has reintroduced this slowly disappearing tribute to the old republic with a re-imagined senate guard. I introduce to you the action figure Captain Argyus! Argyus is a Captain in the Senate Troopers, a specialized team of the best senate guards created to assist the Clone Troopers. Argyus here sports a completely new look ‚with a helmet which is removable , he also carries heavy armament a bazooka blaster and a hand blaster. His armor is like a clone troopers with the addition of a left shoulder guard that is enlarged for protection and tattooed with beautiful white decoration. Following tradition the armor and helmet are blue. The helmet resembles a more realistic removable version of the kind of thing you would see in the museum of ancient Greek hoplite armor . The only difference is that this is redesigned to fit into the Star Wars Universe and it does this beautifull. I highly recomend this figure for your collection.
