Odan (impostor)

An Impostor of Odan was an Imperial commander on Akuria II during and around the time following the Battle of Yavin. He was the head of Polar Base, the Imperial garrison on Akuria II, and impersonated the local Rebel group leader, Colonel Odan, in order to deceive Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa into giving away the Rebel Alliance's plans. The pair of Rebels eventually realized that he was an impostor, but the man kept Organa prisoner while setting the War Sled on a course to the Geyser Sea with Skywalker tied up inside. The real Rebels rescued Skywalker and helped him save Organa, capturing the impostor in the process. He managed to get away from them when the group attacked Polar Base but was later killed by Skywalker, who was using a captured TIE/LN starfighter.
