Rebel Honor Guard/Legends

The Rebel Honor Guard was a guard on Yavin 4. They were present when Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca were awarded medals by Princess Leia for their bravery during the Battle of Yavin. They usually wielded a staff, and a blaster, and wore a helmet similar to that of the Rebel Vanguard trooper. Their original uniforms were green, with a brown pocket on the side for a blaster, and black boots.

A constant scarcity of materials means that many Alliance officers lack dress uniforms. However, a few of the survivors of Alderaan - a planet once rich in ceremony - have retained theirs. It is these survivors who serve as honor guard to Luke, Han and Chewbacca in thanks for their efforts in destroying the Death Star over Yavin.

In 2007 Hasbro released a Rebel Honor Guard action figure, as part of their Star Wars: 30th Anniversary Collection.
