A bandit commander was a human member of the Sith Bandit Troopers led by Kouru. Kouru led her bandit gang to attack a village for plunder. The bandits, some of whom sported stormtrooper helmets, rounded up the villagers in the square. The commander stated that this was a direct order and demanded to know who the chief was. A child then identified himself as the village chief and told the bandits that they had taken enough. The bandit leader asked if he really was the chief or if his father had run away. The bandit leader asked the boy how he was going to stop them, telling him that he knows he can. Suddenly, several of the bandits, including the commander, were shot by a sniper.[1]

Behind the scenes

The bandit commander first appeared in "The Duel," a non-canon short film directed by Takanobu Mizuno, written Takashi Okazaki, and released as part of the first volume of the Star Wars: Visions series.
