Behind the scenesEdit

Though Officer Evax first appeared on a card for the A New Hope Limited expansion set of Decipher's Star Wars Customizable Card Game, he does not actually appear in the film A New Hope. His picture was merely one of many convincing images created artificially for cards in the SWCCG, using a scene from A New Hope as the background. Evax was later given a brief entry in 2008's The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.
