Rebel sentries[3] were Rebel Alliance personnel who monitored incoming and departing starships[2] and kept watch for Imperial scouts and other hazards[4] from the top of a recon-tower near the Massassi Temple, the Rebellion's headquarters on Yavin 4.[2] Osleo Prennert was a Rebel sentry posted during the Millennium Falcon's arrival at Yavin 4 in 0 BBY and during the moon's occupation by the Galactic Empire.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Rebel sentry first appeared in the first Star Wars film, Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, released on May 25, 1977.[2] The sentry was played by Industrial Light & Magic's Lorne Peterson, who said that he conducted the dangerous job of standing in the recon-tower because he was the only one in the special effects crew who had no children. The device that Peterson was holding during the scene was a pair of light meters taped together.[5]
