With the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Blu-ray now on sale, Entertainment Weekly is featuring five days of new behind-the-scenes stories from director J.J. Abrams. Here’s the final installment… A Star Wars whodunit, finally answered.

EPISODE V: WHO KILLED CONSTABLE ZUVIO?
First off, maybe he’s not actually dead. How can you kill something who barely exists?

Whatever his fate in the Star Wars universe, Constable Zuvio was effectively exterminated in ours, with his disappearance becoming one of the most enduring real-life mysteries of The Force Awakens.

The character burst into the pop-culture consciousness as one of the alien creatures revealed last September during the merchandise bonanza known as Force Friday. First there was a toy – not just the cheaper, kid-friendly action figure built for heavy-duty backyard play, but an elaborately rendered 6-inch Hasbro Black Series collectible for the serious Star Wars completists.

Then in November, with just a month left before the movie’s debut, a First Look photograph made its debut, showing a close-up of this saucer-helmeted lawman with the exceptionally angry eyes – flanked by two similar-looking deputies in the background. Zuvio even had a posse.

The anticipation kept building: How would Constable Zuvio fit into the new saga? Was he aligned with the Resistance or the First Order – or did he have some separate agenda of his own? The possibilities for this galactic denizen seemed endless.

But the questions remain, for one simple reason…

Constable Zuvio wasn’t in the movie.

Like, at all.
