Kensaric

Kensaric was a human male who served as a corporal in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire. In 4 ABY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the Battle of Endor to 4 ABY. Major Bren Derlin selected Kensaric to be a member of a strike team of volunteer commandos that the Alliance was sending to the moon of Endor to disable a shield generator there that protected the Imperial Death Star II superweapon. The corporal's role would be to cover the team's tracks on the forest moon.
Deploying to the moon in the stolen Imperial shuttle Tydirium, the team made its way to a security bunker at the rear of the generator and, with the aid of the local Ewok population, defeated an Imperial trap waiting for them there before destroying the generator. This then allowed the Alliance Fleet to destroy the Death Star. Kensaric had light skin, brown eyes, and brown hair. He wore a brown jerkin over a white shirt with a green helmet.
==Behind the scenes==
In the current Star Wars canon, Kensaric was pictured in an entry for Rebel troopers on the StarWars.com Encyclopedia. The character was then identified in the English release of "The Battle of Endor and the Fall of the Empire," an entry in De Agostini's Star Wars Encyclopedia series that was originally released in Spanish on June 29, 2021.
The image used in the Encyclopedia entry was a promotional photo taken for the 1983 original trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi,Star Wars: Behind the Magic although Kensaric does not appear in the film itself. The photo depicts Kensaric, portrayed by stuntman Paul Weston, and other commandos stood with protagonist Luke Skywalker as their prisoner in one of the Death Star II's corridors. The name Kensaric originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it first appeared on a card in the 1999 Endor Limited expansion set of the Decipher Star Wars Customizable Card Game.
