Plumestriker Plumestriker was an Imperial officer who patrolled the Blockade of Kashyyyk , the Emperor Palpatine Museum and Echo Base on Hoth with his partner Durpin . During the course of his duties , Plumestriker would encounter the scavenging Freemakers on several occasions . Biography . Blockade of Kashyyyk . Plumestriker was an Imperial officer who served as an aide to Lieutenant Commander Durpin during the Imperial Era . Following the Battle of Hoth , Plumestriker and Durpin commanded the Imperial Blockade above the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk . While the Imperial Navy blockaded the planet , the Empire ' s Trandoshan proxies enforced order among the Wookiees . To keep the Wookiees subdued , the Trandoshans imprisoned Chief Attabura ' s son Tantarra in an island fortress as a hostage . When a scavenging family called the Freemakers managed to travel past the blockade in their freighter " StarScavenger " , Plumestriker and Durpin gave orders for their men to pretend the intrusion never happened . However , they themselves ventured down to Kashyyyk ' s surface to catch them . The two officers flew on their shuttle to the Trandoshan island fortress and asked if they had seen anything unusual . When the Trandoshans reported that a group of humans had delivered a wroshyr wood panel , Plumestriker recognized the intruders were around while Durpin sounded the alarm . Despite their efforts , the Freemakers managed to free Tantarra and alert Attabura ; whose forces then attacked the fortress . The Freemakers also managed to obtain the third Kyber Saber crystal . Plumestriker and Durpin managed to trap Zander Freemaker and his younger brother Rowan at the " StarScavenger " . While Durpin made a speech about what they were going to do with the rebels , Plumestriker realized that one more was missing . At that point , Kordi Freemaker resurfaced with the wroshyr wood panel and knocked the two Imperials on the head . Later , Lieutenant Commander Durpin attempted to shift some of the blame to Plumestriker during his report to Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader . However , the Emperor blamed the debacle on the Trandoshans and promoted Durpin to the rank of general . He also gave him more more and resources to get the job done . While Plumestriker was overjoyed , Durpin was despondent . Stint on Naboo . Following the events on Kashyyyk , Plumestriker was also promoted to Commander . He and General Durpin were reassigned to a plush posting : the Emperor Palpatine Museum on Naboo . The Museum had once been the Theed Royal Palace but was now repurposed as a museum dedicated to the Emperor . The two generals were tasked with guarding the exhibits . One day , they encountered Zander who was wheeling in the B1 battle droid Roger as a disguised museum exhibit . The two men failed to recognize the Freemakers due to Zander ' s mustache and joked about the stupidity of breaking into the Museum . Unknown to Plumestriker and Durpin , the Freemakers were planning to break into the Museum and steal the sixth Kyber Saber crystal . Later that night , Roger exited his display cabinet and let the Freemakers inside the Museum . While all this was happening , Plumestriker and Durpin were playing holochess . While Plumestriker was startled by the sound of breaking glass , Plumestriker was too preoccupied with the game . After Rowan accidentally toppled one of Palpatine ' s statues which triggered a chain reaction that collapsed an N - 1 starfighter , Plumestriker raised the alarm despite Durpin ' s objections and ordered the stormtrooper sentries to search the prison . The two officers and their stormtroopers soon cornered Zander , Roger , and Kordi in the former Theed Hangar . While Durpin wanted to let the intruders go , Plumestriker recognized them as the intruders he had encountered on Kashyyyk and ordered their execution . Before the stormtroopers could execute the Freemakers , Rowan arrived disguised as the Emperor himself and ordered the Imperials to release his siblings ; claiming they were generous donors . An apologetic Plumestriker and Durpin left the hangar . The Museum was subsequently destroyed following a duel between the Freemakers , the Sith agent Naare , and the bounty hunter Dengar . Plumestriker and Durpin survived the damage but found themselves in trouble . Reassignment to Hoth . Following the debacle at the Emperor Palpatine Museum , Plumestriker and Durpin were demoted to Sub - Ensign and Ensign respectively . The two were reassigned to the former rebel base Echo Base on the icy planet of Hoth . While Plumestriker regarded the reassignment as a punishment and sought to get back in the Empire ' s favor , Durpin was happy that they were away from the galaxy ' s problems and strife . When the Freemakers and Roger arrived on a makeshift snowspeeder sledge drawn by two tauntaun s , Plumestriker wanted to alert Imperial High Command . However , Durpin did not want anything to disturb their quiet exile and tried to drive the Freemakers away with his blaster . However , the baby wampa that the Freemakers befriended grabbed his leg . Durpin called for Plumestriker to shoot at the wampa but he missed . This provoked the wampa ' s mother who attacked and pursued the two Imperials . Despite the scuffle , Plumestriker managed to send a distress signal that was picked up by Naare and her ally Graballa , who were hunting the Freemakers and the seventh Kyber Saber crystal . Later , a fleeing Plumestriker and Durpin ran over Naare while being pursued by the mother wampa and her child . Manning the blockade . Plumestrike and Durpin were later reassigned to command a " Gozanti " - class cruiser which blockaded a planet where the rebel agents Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca were stranded . Since their ship " Millennium Falcon " lacked a fuel intermixer , they were unable to escape offworld . The Imperial officers ' " Gozanti " cruiser later intercepted the Freemakers ' starship " StarScavenger " in space . After being boarded , the Freemakers pretended to be sick with the Gamorrean flu . Plumestriker quickly recognized the Freemakers as being on the Empire ' s Most Wanted List . Durpin was convinced but Plumestriker realized that human s could not contract the Gamorrean flu . He ordered his stormtroopers to arrest the Freemakers and confiscate their cargo . The Freemakers were thrown into the brig but managed to escape with the help of their droid Roger . The Freemakers then stole a fuel intermixer and detached their ship from the " Gozanti " cruiser . Plumestriker tried to alert Durpin but found that his superior was fretting about contracting Gamorrean flu . The Freemakers managed to use the stolen fuel intermixer to help Lando and Chewbacca escape aboard the " Millennium Falcon " . Personality and traits . Plumestriker was an ambitious and hardworking but unreliable Imperial officer . Unlike his complacent superior Durpin , Plumestriker was actually interested in fulfilling his duties as an Imperial officer . He determined that the Freemakers had infiltrated the Tradoshan island fortress after learning that a group of humans were delivering a wroshyr wood panel . Plumestriker welcomed his comrade Durpin ' s promotion to General as a sign that that they would get the men and resources they needed to deal with the rebels . While serving his posting at the Emperor Palpatine Museum , the alert Plumestriker tried to warn Durpin about the presence of intruders . However , Durpin was only roused when the Freemakers triggered a chain reaction that toppled an N - 1 starfighter exhibit . Plumestriker could also recognize faces when he discovered the Freemakers in the Theed Hangar . Plumestriker was willing to execute prisoners but was easily fooled by Rowan ' s charade as Emperor Palpatine . Following the destruction of the Emperor Palpatine Museum , Plumestriker regarded his posting at Echo Base as a punishment and sought to get back in the Empire ' s good books by alerting Imperial High Command to the Freemakers . He exhibited poor marskmanship when trying to shoot a baby wampa that was biting Durpin ' s legs . Plumestriker was also more knowledgeable than his comrade Durpin . When the Freemakers feigned symptoms of the Gamorrean flu , he pointed out that humans could not contract that disease . Recognizing them as Imperial fugitives , Plumestriker ordered his men to imprison them aboard the ship ' s brig . However , Plumestriker was unable to attend to the Freemakers ' escape since Durpin was preoccupied with his own fear that he had contracted the Gamorrean flu . Behind the scenes . Plumestriker is voiced by Jeff Bennett in the 2016 Disney XD animated series " " .
