Expanded Universe Imperial Sentinel Action Figure

      In 1996, Hasbro attempted to introduce a small line of character from Star Wars not directly related to the films and based on the Shadows of the Empire action figure line which was part of a multimedia project which included a novel, Nintendo 64/PC Game and Comic Books by Dark Horse Comics. One had to read the novel, play the game and read the comic in order to fully understand the intertwined plot.    

     1998 marked Hasbro's return to the Expanded Universe of novels, games and comics which mixed both characters that were well known and characters from other media. Hasbro switched the packaging from Freeze Frame Action Slides which were utilized in the Power of the Force action figure line to cards which could pop out to open three dimensional scenes where one could place the characters on them. The backs had small slits for this very creative idea of these very useful backgrounds.

Imperial Sentinel

     Imperial Sentinels were responsible for guarding the citadel of the reborn Clone Emperor on planet Byss. Planet Byss is in the outer regions of space. These armored cloaked warriors stood guard with their Pole-Axes.  Little is known of their origin and some speculate that they are cyborgs or perhaps droids created by an ancient race of beings unknown.
