Coruscant Senate Guard

A different type of guard, not the Life Guards or Blues & Royals but The Senate Guard, sometimes called the Blue Guard. The Senate Guard was an elite unit, stemming from the Republic Senate Guardsman of old, established to protect senators, the Supreme Chancellor, and other ranking members and buildings of the Galactic Republic government. [source: wookipedia]

The guards of the Galactic Senate wore striking robes of blue, symbolizing the Senate's supreme authority and long tradition of just rule. They carried blaster rifles and acted as bodyguards and police.

This 1/6 scale 12" Coruscant Senate Guard was released by Hasbro in 1999 as a two-pack set together with Chancellor Valorum.

    hi desmond, i didn't get the Medicom Red Guard because i didn't feel that it was value for money - a lot of cloth & nothing fancy PLUS medicom's size always irked me when it comes to Star Wars figures :<
