Lieutenant Bastion

Lieutenant Bastion is a minor character in the Star Wars franchise primarily appearing in the 1980 film "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back." He serves as a military officer in the Rebel Alliance, fighting against the Galactic Empire. Bastion's role is mostly background, and he is known for being present during key moments on the ice planet Hoth, particularly during the Rebel evacuation in response to the Imperial attack.

Despite his limited screen time, Lieutenant Bastion adds depth to the portrayal of the Rebel Alliance's military structure. His presence during the Hoth sequence helps to emphasize the logistical and operational challenges faced by the Rebels as they struggle against a better-equipped and more powerful enemy. His character exemplifies the bravery and resilience of the Rebel officers who operate largely behind the scenes but are crucial to the Rebellion's efforts.

The character of Lieutenant Bastion has gained a modest following among Star Wars enthusiasts, who often appreciate the minor yet significant roles these characters play in the larger narrative. Over time, background characters like Bastion have been developed further in Star Wars expanded universe materials, such as novels, comics, and games, contributing to the rich, interconnected lore of the Star Wars saga.
