Ilco Munica

Ilco Munica was an Abednedo male who lived as a member of the Church of the Force in the village of Tuanul on the planet Jakku. He was captured and then executed by stormtroopers of the First Order when they attacked Tuanul while searching for the retired explorer Lor San Tekka.

Biography
The Abednedo male Ilco Munica lived in the sacred village of Tuanul around thirty years after the Battle of Endor. Like the other residents of the village, he was a member of the Church of the Force, a religious group who praised the virtues of the Force, despite not being able to use it.

When a force of sixty stormtroopers serving the First Order assaulted Tuanul in order to locate Lor San Tekka, one of Munica's fellow villagers]], the Abednedo was amongst the villagers captured by the troopers during the battle. He and the others survivors were then rounded up and forced to their knees, watching as the First Order agent Kylo Ren arrived and killed Tekka. The execution drew the Resistance pilot Poe Dameron out of hiding nearby, as he attempted to attack Ren and take vengeance, but the attack was unsuccessful and Dameron was captured and taken prisoner. On Ren's orders, Munica and the other remaining residents of Tuanul were then executed by their stormtrooper captors.

Personality and traits
Munica had mottled pink skin and black eyes. Like all residents of Tuanul, he rejected comforts and luxuries in favor of living an ascetic lifestyle. Although not a pacifist, he chose to use weapons he and the other villagers had made themselves instead of those manufacturer by large corporations that profited from violence.

Equipment
While living at Tuanul, Munica wore a green pilgrim's robe and a pair of brown insulated boots. In battle he used a blaster rifle built with parts including a pump-action recharger and a salvaged industrial power shunt. The weapon's stock was weighted and so allowed the weapon to double as a club.

Behind the scenes
Ilco Munica first appeared in the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, which was released in 2015. The character was not named in the film, but was identified one day later when Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, a reference book written by Pablo Hidalgo, was released.
