Death Squad Commander
If there is any controversial Kenner figure, it's this one. Originally named Death Squad Commander, Kenner got backlash and just changed the name for when it was released for The Empire Strikes Back (Star Destroyer Commander). Other than the name, the figure isn't half bad.
Again, simple 5 POA and he comes with a Stormtrooper blaster so if you wanted to give Han or Leia his weapon you could. This figure looks more like the Imperial detention guards, but instead of a black outfit it's gray. Again, not a bad figure and not screen accurate but a lot of fun nonetheless. He could interact with the Kenner Death Star Playset or even on Vader's Star Destroyer Playset.
If there was a reason to get this figure however, you probably didn't use him as a bad guy. Add a little blue, white and brown paint and he can double as a Rebel Fleet Trooper! Making this likely the 1st ever figure people felt comfortable customizing!
From a 1978 sculpting perspective, this figure works. The lines on the uniform, the helmet sculpt, etc don't feel out of place at all. It's a well scaled figure! While it may not be prominent in your displays and gets replaced by the Imperial Gunner later on for your Death Star Playset, he is a needed figure in your collection!
