The Movies

Space slugs are colossal, worm-like creatures that reside within the furrows and craters of asteroids and airless planetoids. The slug's bizarre biology allows it to survive in the vacuum of space.

Expanded Universe

Silicon-based lifeforms, the typical space slug rarely exceeds 10 meters in length. They are most often found on asteroids, where they metabolize minerals through an intricate root system that taps into the rock.

Behind the Scenes

The deep space Star Wars equivalent of a whale, the space slug was developed in sketches by Ralph McQuarrie and Nilo Rodis-Jamero. Jamero took extra care to ensure the proper scale when developing the creature's texture.
