[edit] Biography

Dyer was responsible for the defense of the bunker, and worked with Moff Jerjerrod to make it impenetrable. He was aided by Lieutenant Grond. One of the stormtroopers who was assigned to Dyer's command was Sergeant Wallen. The colonel was ordered to have a legion of Palpatine's best troops in reserve if the bunker were to be attacked, and when the Endor Strike Team entered the bunker, so did Dyer and his men. After jumping out from behind a wall, holding a gun on Solo, Dyer was killed when he fell over a ledge after being hit by an explosive charge thrown by Han Solo. After his death, Lieutenant Renz took over Dyer's post.

[edit] Behind the scenes

The name of this character may have been inspired by the real Colonel Dye.^[2]

The character was played by sound designer Ben Burtt.

The scream Dyer makes when he is knocked off the catwalk is meant to be an attempt at replicating the famous Wilhelm scream, which Burtt in his role as sound designer has attempted to include in all the films he has worked on.
