Igar/Legends

Igar served as a Imperial commander in the Imperial Army. He was stationed at the Sanctuary Moon of Endor at the time of the Rebel Alliance's attack to the shield generator that protected the second Death Star.
==Biography==
Igar was born on Kuat. Prior to 3 ABY, he joined the Imperial Army and attained the rank of Commander. In 3 ABY, he served with General Maximilian Veers' Blizzard Force at the Battle of Hoth. In 4 ABY, he was assigned by Darth Vader to coordinate the surface defense of Endor, alongside Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod and Colonel Dyer as part of Emperor Palpatine's trap for the Rebels. Palpatine planned to trick the Rebels into attacking the incomplete Death Star II, which orbited the Endor moon, by releasing information that showed the battle station's location. Palpatine hoped the Rebels would send a strike team to the forest moon to deactivate the Death Star's shield generator, only for them to be captured by Igar's defenses.
As part of the plan, Igar deployed 74-Z speeder bikes and AT-STs. He selected the most dedicated stormtroopers to serve him and he also had a personal honor guard. Igar served as the commanding officer of the AT-AT Tempest 1.
When a member of the Rebel strike team that Palpatine had lured there, Luke Skywalker, surrendered to the Imperial forces, Commander Igar took the prisoner to Lord Vader, and expressed his belief that more Rebels were hidden in the forests, regardless of Skywalker's claims to the contrary. He handed Skywalker's new lightsaber to Vader and returned to Tempest 1 to start his search for the Rebels. Later, when the Rebel commando team infiltrated the shield bunker, Igar and Dyer were expecting them and sent in troops to capture them. Though Dyer was killed in the capture, the Imperials were initially victorious until a tribe of Ewoks assisting the Rebels attacked them, resulting in chaos.
==Behind the scenes==
In the novelization of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, in place of Commander Igar, a stormtrooper captain and his men turn over Luke Skywalker to Darth Vader. The captain says the same lines as Igar, and it is he who continues the search for Rebels in the Endor forests.
