Sporting partial armor in the uniform of a Republic General, Mace Windu continues his role as a senior member of the Jedi High Council. In the micro-series, Windu's battleground will be the plains of Dantooine. This action figure includes a lightsaber and a Clone Wars base.

Asajj Ventress is Count Dooku's protégé, discovered on the violent world of Rattatak. Her origins will be revealed in an episode of the Clone Wars micro-series. This action figure includes two curve-handle red lightsabers and a Clone Wars base.
