Power shunt

A salvaged industrial power shunt was one of several parts used in the construction of a blaster rifle carried by the Abednedo Ilco Munica while he lived in the village of Tuanul on the planet Jakku around thirty years after the Battle of Endor.

Behind the scenes
A power shunt first appeared as part of a prop in the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, which was released in 2015. The part was not identified in the film, but was first named in Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, a reference book written by Pablo Hidalgo and released the same day as the film.
