Zuvio Zuvio was a Kyuzo male lawman who lived approximately thirty years after the Battle of Endor and served as the constable of Niima Outpost , a frontier trading post on the otherwise lawless planet Jakku . Zuvio headed both the Niima Outpost Militia and the Office of the Constable and distributed justice when necessary alongside deputies Drego and Streehn . At some point , Zuvio investigated the robbery of a starship owned by the Kubaz Rikard Lovas , which appeared to have been conducted by the constable office secretary droid CZ - 1G5 . Battling a posse of other droids along the way , Zuvio tracked CZ - 1G5 across the Jakku desert and confronted the droid , which ended in a shootout between the two — CZ - 1G5 crumpled to the ground after being beaten by Zuvio ' s draw . However , the droid had actually been reprogrammed as a fall guy for the real culprit : Lovas . The Kubaz ' s scheme was foiled and Zuvio sentenced Lovas to life in prison for his crimes against the citizenry of Niima Outpost while CZ - 1G5 was reinstated at the Office of the Constable . Sometime afterwards , Zuvio and a deputy were conducting business in the Niima marketplace when First Order TIE / fo starfighters attacked the outpost while tracking a fugitive droid . Biography . Constable of Jakku . Zuvio was a Kyuzo male who at some point came to live on the planet Jakku in the fledgling Niima Outpost . As the need for structure rose from the dust , so did too , the need for someone to police the actions of the beings who were unconcerned with victimizing their fellow settlers . As such , Zuvio was thrust into the position of constable , which saw him as the head of both the Office of the Constable and the Niima Outpost Militia . Zuvio ' s two cousins — Drego and Streehn — became his deputies , whose jobs included patrols . Zuvio ' s job often kept him busy with only a handful of downtime at his disposal . His work included the monitoring of incoming and departing starship s , cases of theft and assault , interrogation of ship captain s , and paperwork . Because of his role as constable , one of Zuvio ' s perks was part - time use of Niima ' s CZ secretary droid CZ - 1G5 . Despite CZ - 1G5 ' s age — Zuvio estimated him to be roughly three - hundred years old — the droid was impressively fast with his work , and made Zuvio ' s paperwork that much easier . The droid also accommodated Zuvio ' s archaic preference for paper stock over digital documents . Over time , Zuvio came to consider CZ - 1G5 the closest thing he had to a friend . The great starship robbery . A fistful of credits . On a notably hot day for Jakku , Zuvio was managing paperwork without CZ - 1G5 , as the droid was nowhere to be found . When CZ - 1G5 did show up , Zuvio found the droid ' s lateness and behavior unusual , but before he could investigate further , an explosion occurred outside of the office . Zuvio rushed to the scene alone where he found a damaged bank ing ship that belonged to the Kubaz banker Rikard Lovas , who regularly appeared on Jakku to manage financial transactions of credit s for the Western Reaches Exchange and the people of Niima . By the time Zuvio reached the scene , Drego and Streehn were already investigating the explosion . Zuvio assigned the deputies to crowd control as Lovas personally confronted the Niima constable about the damage done to his ship . After a quick inspection of the ship , Zuvio found that the cargo hold was emptied and that the computer core held no financial records at all . Constable Zuvio ' s jurisdiction : the ship had been robbed . Although Lovas claimed that such a task was impossible due to the core ' s encryption , Zuvio noticed that the core used the exact same kind of encryption module that was located in his own office . Zuvio quickly suspected CZ - 1G5 — who was equipped to access such modules — due to the droid ' s earlier behavior . When the constable returned to his office CZ - 1G5 was gone , having taken the office ' s weapon supply and a speeder bike with him . Zuvio grabbed the only weapon he had left , a small blaster pistol , and planned to take the office ' s second speeder into the desert to look for the rogue secretary droid . Knowing that CZ - 1G5 could not afford to buy his way off of the planet with a ship in Niima , Zuvio believed that the droid ' s only logical direction was an abandoned smuggler s camp that was used to hide ships and avoid docking fees . Constable Zuvio contacted his deputies and ordered them forward any evidence they acquired for the robbery investigation to his personal comm system before he embarked into the Jakku wastelands . However , Zuvio was puzzed as to why CZ - 1G5 was suddenly betraying the Niima community . The good , the bad , and the rusty . CZ - 1G5 ' s trail was easy to spot for the seasoned lawman , as the office speeders hugged the ground when they flew and left distinct patterns in the sand . The trail led to an abandoned freighter that had been hastily converted into a two story moisture farm by residents that had long since moved on . While nearing the compound , Zuvio realized that he made the error of underestimating the droid ' s intelligence . Slamming on the brakes , Zuvio barely escaped a rogue , rusted BD - 3000 luxury droid sniping at him from the farmhouse with a Czerka - 93U hunting rifle ; the rifle was one of the weapons CZ - 1G5 had stolen before his flight from Niima . Zuvio jumped from the speeder and evaded a second shot which destroyed the repulsorcraft . Discovering that his comlink was jammed , Zuvio hid to avoid a third shot from his distant assailant . However , Zuvio now had the upper hand . Aware of the weapon being used against him , the four - shot weapon had only one round left to fire , after which it would take three - seconds to reload the weapon ' s cartridge . In addition , the weapon was equipped with a faulty aftermarket targeting computer which suffered from Jakku ' s grit . The only reason Zuvio never bothered to replace it was because he did not require its use ; the Kyuzo had excellent long - range vision . Gamling , Zuvio stood and threw sand into the air to deliberately mess with the targeting computer . As expected , the next shot missed , and Zuvio returned the favor with three shots from his own pistol . The luxury droid was violently incapacitated . However , a J57 cam droid had spied on the exchange , and revealed itself to the constable when it made a getaway . Realizing that his adversaries were droids , Zuvio jumped from his hiding place and ran for the farmhouse . Another assailant tried to shoot him and failed , allowing Zuvio to reach the farmhouse ' s roof . He kicked his way through a window on the second story where he encountered a larger droid force , including the broken - down astromech droid B33 , a RIC - series general labor droid , a WED Treadwell repair droid , a DD - 13 Medical Assistant Droid , and an MSE droid . Zuvio fought the lot of them , playing to their deficiencies and causing the droids to wipe themselves out . As Zuvio recovered from the melee he spotted CZ - 1G5 running from the room and gave chase . Zuvio ' s chase was quickly cut short by an EG - 6 power droid that had the constable office ' s supply of grenade s strapped to it . Zuvio ran back into the previous room and jumped through the same window he had entered as the suicidal power droid exploded . Injured and weary , Zuvio picked himself up from the ground when he noticed the heavily damamged , but online B33 , whom Zuvio had kicked out of the window during their brawl . To his surprise , the droid had a restraining bolt , which meant that the droids were not rogue at all , but under someone else ' s influence . Zuvio moved on , recalling that CZ - 1G5 had also been wearing a foreign restraining bolt . CZ - 1G5 ' s sand - prints , which zigzagged across the sand , led the constable to his friend , who had otherwise ran out of places to run . Feeling sadness for the potential outcome of their inevitable face - off , Zuvio approached the droid . Yet , Zuvio considered the possibility that CZ - 1G5 had been reprogrammed . Holstering his pistol , Zuvio called out to the droid , admitting that he hadn ' t inspected the droid close enough earlier in the day to notice the restraining bolt on the droid ' s chassis . Compiling what he knew , Zuvio talked to the droid , trying to piece together CZ - 1G5 ' s turn , not believing that the droid simply turned bad and built a posse of droids himself . However , CZ - 1G5 claimed that he had always been bad and that he had always been a bank robber , a claim that Zuvio also did not believe , since CZ - 1G5 was not aware of what happened to the money records that vanished from the ship . Confused and agitated , the droid warned the constable of possible violence as Zuvio attempted to close the gap between them . Eventually , Zuvio ' s questions inadvertently caused CZ - 1G5 to reveal that the robbery ' s real mastermind was none other than Rikard Lovas , the banking ship ' s owner . Satisfied , Zuvio talked peace one last time before he was finally forced to shoot the droid dead . Case aftermath and later career . Zuvio returned to the Niima Outpost with CZ - 1G5 ' s carcass in tow , and arrived at the constable ' s office just in time to shoot down one Lovas ' droids as it attacked his deputies . During Zuvio ' s absence , Drego and Streehn had also pieced together the crime ' s timeline and confronted Lovas about it personally . The Kubaz responded by trying to kill them with another " rogue droid . " Lovas was arrested by the department and was sentenced to life in prison for his crimes against Niima and the constable ' s office , although Drego believed that the punishment was too light . The constable ' s office also helped itself to Lovas ' personal bacta supply which used to treat those wounded in the bombing . The office also came to regard Lovas ' plan as idiotic , as the laundering scheme could have been easily found out by the Niima government accountants . CZ - 1G5 was rebuilt and went back to serving the Niima community alongside a repaired and reprogrammed B33 . Little remorse was felt by either Zuvio or CZ - 1G5 for Lovas ' s fate , and overall Zuvio felt that a day spent foiling a corrupt bankers plot was better than a quiet one . Thirty years after the Battle of Endor , Constable Zuvio remained in the Niima outpost , heading the Niima Outpost Militia . After soldier s of the First Order attacked the Jakku village of Tuanul , Zuvio was present in Niima the following day when scouting First Order stormtroopers gave chase to two individuals harboring a fugitive droid . The fugitives ran past Zuvio and a deputy during their escape shortly before TIE / fo fighters opened fire on the outpost . Personality and traits . A Kyuzo of few words , Constable Zuvio had an unwavering sense of justice immune to bribery . Honorable and tough , he worked his post to the best of his ability and built a reputation for himself in the Niima community . Despite this , Zuvio ' s office was still known to answer to the Niima junk boss Unkar Plutt , an individual who controlled Niima through threats and strong arms . Zuvio also afforded a loyal demeanor to those close to him , as seen during his desperate attempts to turn CZ - 1G5 ' s against his modified programming . Zuvio regretted shooting the droid immediately thereafter , but he brought the droid back to Niima anyways to have him repaired , reprogrammed , and reinstated as a fixture in the Niima community , which allowed their friendship to continue . Constable Zuvio ' s trek after CZ - 1G5 also proved Zuvio to be both resourceful and tenacious , having been able to play the attacking droids to their errors — when B33 accidentally latched its cable onto the DD - 13 droid , Zuvio kicked the astromech droid out of a window , which snagged and pulled away the DD - 13 as well — while ignoring the variety of injuries he sustained so that he could confront his friend and solve the case of the robbery . Zuvio was also able to piece together elements of the crime using what evidnce he had , and successfully used reverse psychology to have CZ - 1G5 reveal Lovas ' hand in the robbery . Zuvio was known to carry an expression of eternal disgruntlement due to his always furrowed brow and squinted eye s . However , this was merely a result of the Kyuzo having poor short - range vision that could be marginally improved by squinting . However , his farsightedness was excellent to the point that he did not require optics on weapons to improve his accuracy . His eyes also tended to be useful in watching out for signs of troubles , and locals who strayed to close to visiting starships could find themselves under Zuvio ' s concentrated glare . Constable Zuvio was a Kyuzo who stood 1 . 6 meter s tall and possessed yellow eyes and grayish - pink skin , though it was described as being just gray . Equipment . Constable Zuvio wore snug fabric clothing that covered most of his body and face as to protect his skin from the harsh Jakku environment . He wore green and red colored body - armor over it , which included shoulder plates , a breastplate , and gauntlets . He also adorned his head with a Kyuzo war helmet which shared the same colors as his body armor , just as at least two other members of the Niima militia wore similar body armor with matching war helmets . Zuvio ' s choice of weaponry included a small concealable blaster pistol and a large staff with a blade on it . He also kept a Czerka built rifle with an after market targeting computer . The computer was faulty , however , but Zuvio never thought to replace it as he was proficient with the weapon without the computer . He also carried a large backpack that had an antennae - like device sticking from the top of it . Zuvio owned a quadjumper equipped with seismic charge es . Behind the scenes . Constable Zuvio was created for the 2015 film , the seventh installment of the episodic " Star Wars " films . Zuvio himself was first revealed in the film ' s proceeding merchandising efforts , including two different action figures that were released on Force Friday , a massive marketing push that took place on September 4 . Zuvio ' s first appearance in the " Star Wars " canon , though , was in the short story " High Noon on Jakku " by author Landry Q . Walker . " High Noon on Jakku " was first released as an eBook on December 1 . Zuvio finally appeared onscreen two weeks later on December 18 when " The Force Awakens " premiered . Despite the pre - release material featuring Zuvio , the character ' s scenes ended up being largely cut from the film , and as such Zuvio only appears in roughly three frames of the film during the Niima Outpost chase scene . Zuvio developed a following among fans for having such a large marketing push despite being absent from the majority of The Force Awakens . Originally , Zuvio would have broken up the fight between Rey and Unkar ' s thugs , then escorted Rey and BB8 home while his lieutenants apprehended the thugs . In this early version of the script , Rey ' s encounter of Finn would have happened in a later scene .
