The most interesting thing about Jek Pugilio is his name. It seems to somehow be a play of Jek Porkins, but with a stereotypical Italian mobster flare. Jek Pugilio was Tenk Lenso’s gunner. He was reportedly killed by an AT-AT. He never had a chance.

Jek is right up front during the pilot briefing, which is to say he’s on screen but he’s facing Leia so all we see is the back of his helmet. His helmet is the “generic blue” seen on such other forgettable pilots as Wenton Chan. The only reason to make this guy is if Hasbro wants an excuse to use their patented banana-visor technique in the premium collector line.
