Hebsly was a human who served as a lieutenant in the Galactic Empire's Imperial Navy. In 4 ABY, he was part of a line up of Imperial officers on board the Death Star 2 superweapon that stood by as the Sith Lord arrived in one of the station's hangars. Hebsley then piloted a TIE/ln space superiority starfighter during the Battle of Endor, in which the Alliance to Restore the Republic destroyed the Death Star.

Biography[]

Hebsly[2] was a human[1] pilot who served in the Galactic Empire's Imperial Navy, holding the rank of lieutenant in the officer corps[2] during the Galactic Civil War against the Alliance to Restore the Republic.[1] In 4 ABY,[3] he[2] was among the Imperial forces on board the Death Star II superweapon while it was under construction in the Endor system. When the Sith Lord Darth Vader arrived on the Death Star in order to increase the speed of its construction, Hebsly was part of a line up of Imperial officers who awaited the Sith's arrival in one of the station's hangars, remaining still as Vader disembarked from his shuttle and greeted Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod.[1]

After Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine also arrived on the station, the fleet of the Rebel Alliance arrived in the Endor system to try and destroy the Death Star, falling for a trap that Palpatine had set. Imperial forces surronded the rebels and attacked, but the Emperor ordered only the Imperial starfighters to engage so that he might demonstrate the power of the Death Star's superlaser on the larger ships.[1] Hebsly flew a TIE/ln space superiority starfighter during the battle and at one point was tailed through debris by a rebel X-wing starfighter.[2] The rebels ultimately claimed victory, destroying the Death Star after the apparent death of the Emperor.[1]

Personality and traits[]

Hebsly had light skin and brown hair.[1]

Equipment[]

While on the Death Star, Hebsly wore a black Imperial officer's uniform including an Imperial kepi with an officer's disk.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

Hebsly first appeared in the original trilogy film Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi,[1] which was released on March 25, 1983.[4] In the current Star Wars canon, Hebsly's name was first used on a card in the 2024 Battle Over Endor Scenario Pack set for Atomic Mass Games' Star Wars: X-Wing Second Edition board game.[2] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, Hebsly was first identified in Legends in 2000 on a card in the "Death Star II Limited" set for the Star Wars Customizable Card Game published by Decipher, Inc.[5]

Footage of Vader's arrival on the second Death Star was reused for the Sith Lord's return to the Executor from Bespin in the Special Edition release of The Empire Strikes Back. As such, Hebsley's actor is seen in the Special Edition version alongside other extras who portrayed Imperial officers in Return of the Jedi,[6] however, this article assumes these to be separate characters.
