Wallen

Wallen was a Human male stormtrooper who held the rank of sergeant, and was assigned to Colonel Dyer's command on the Forest Moon of Endor in 4 ABY during the construction of the second Death Star prior to the Battle of Endor. Governor Yount of the Wakeelmui garrison recommended his unit to Commander Igar. When Igar and a squad of stormtroopers brought Rebel Commander Luke Skywalker to his father&mdash;Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader&mdash;at a landing station during the early stages of the Battle of Endor, Wallen and another stormtrooper stood by and overheard the conversation between the Rebel and his father, where Skywalker unsuccessfully tried to turn Darth Vader from the dark side of the Force, before bringing the Rebel to Vader's Lambda-class shuttle upon the Sith Lord's request.

Biography
The Human male Sergeant Wallen was among the stormtroopers under the command of Colonel Dyer who were stationed on the Forest Moon of Endor during the construction of the second Death Star in the year 4 ABY. His unit was recommended to Commander Igar by Governor Yount of the Wakeelmui garrison.

During the early stages of the Battle of Endor, Wallen and another stormtrooper were present at a landing station on the moon when Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader arrived from his Lambda-class shuttle, shortly before Commander Igar and several other stormtroopers aboard the AT-AT Tempest 1 brought Rebel Commander and Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker to Lord Vader&mdash;his father&mdash;after the young Rebel surrendered to the Imperial forces. Wallen and his partner watched as the commander delivered Skywalker's lightsaber to the Sith Lord, claiming that weapon was all the Rebel was armed with. Skywalker denied that there were more Rebels in the Endor forests, but the commander believed otherwise and requested to continue his search for Rebel commandos. Upon Darth Vader's consent, Igar left along with his stormtroopers to continue his search for Rebels, and Sergeant Wallen and his partner stayed behind where they overheard the conversation between Vader and Skywalker. The Jedi tried to persuade his father to let go of his hate, but Vader remained loyal to his master, Emperor Palpatine, and told his son that the latter did not know the true power of the dark side of the Force and that Palpatine would show Skywalker the true nature of the Force as the Jedi's new master. As Vader finished, he motioned for Wallen and his partner to escort Skywalker to the shuttle, which then brought both the Rebel and the Sith Lord to the Death Star.

Personality and traits
Wallen wore full white stormtrooper armor. He wielded a standard E-11 blaster rifle.
