Renz was an Imperial officer, holding the title of Lieutenant, stationed at the bunker on Endor, and leader of one of the Imperial legions during the Battle of Endor[1]. Following the disposal of Colonel Dyer, Renz captured the Rebels who had infiltrated the bunker, and ordered a lockdown following the beginning of the battle[1]. Shortly before the end of the battle, Han Solo, disguised as an AT-ST pilot, gave a false signal to the Imperials that they had won the forest battle and reinforcements were needed to continue pursuing the fleeing Rebels[1]. Renz was taken prisoner before the Rebels destroyed the bunker.
Personality and traits
Renz was loyal to the Galactic Empire and hated the Rebellion, referring to Solo as "Rebel scum."[1]
Equipment
Lieutenant Renz carried a DL-21 blaster pistol.
Behind the scenes
Renz was portrayed by Barrie Holland.[3]
Renz's line "You Rebel scum" was the inspiration for the name of popular fan website Rebelscum.com. The site's staff even commissioned an exclusive Gentle Giant Lt. Renz minibust.
