This unidentified crested Jedi was a Jedi Master in the Jedi Order during the reign of the Galactic Republic. They were remembered in the form of multiple bronzium busts spread throughout in the Jedi Archives.[1]
Behind the scenes
This design was one of many presented as maquettes to George Lucas to choose from for what would ultimately become the character, Dexter Jettster, and his species, the Besalisks.
This design was originally created as a maquette bust by John Knoll and team to serve as a potential design for the character Dexter Jettster, presented alongside twenty-three others for George Lucas to choose from. Though Lucas would eventually request to combine two of the other head sculpts to become the Besalisk species, a handful of the unselected maquettes would be recycled into additional aliens, primarily Jedi, to be used in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones,[2] including the Skakoan species, as well as the Vurk Coleman Trebor, the Ongree Pablo-Jill, and the various busts of famous and infamous Jedi displayed throughout the Jedi Archives, such as Chon Actrion and this one.[1]
