My guess is it's a generic Imperial officer like the generic Theed guard in the Flash Speeder that is in (...) (24 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

Hi Jay, Very nice work... though I thought the Z-95 had triple cannons on the wingtips? Or is this another case of "multiple books with different info"? I really like the laser cannons on the X-Wing. Nicely shaped. (I cross-posted to .starwars (...) (24 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars)

I know it wouldn't make sense with the other figs being Palpatine and the guards, but if they put Chewie with the AT-ST, why not Han with the shuttle?
