Star Destroyer Commander was a figure released in 1980 as part of The Empire Strikes Back collection.

Major Variation(s)

Card

Originally named Death Squad Commander this figure was renamed to the "more PC" Star Destroyer Commander on The Empire Strikes Back cards and has stayed as such on every card printed afterwards.

This figure first appeared on the Star Wars 12-back card.

Though this figure became better known as Star Destroyer Commander, he was introduced to the original Star Wars Generation as Death Squad Commander. It didn’t take long for Kenner to reevaluate its "macabre" name selection and, in a truly Orwellian manner, ‘New Speaked’ it to the name ‘it always was called’.
