The Movies

Out in Tatooine 's Dune Sea, lying at the base of the Great Pit of Carkoon, rests a gruesome creature known as the Sarlacc . The omnivorous, immobile beast is almost entirely concealed beneath the desert sands.

Expanded Universe

The Sarlacc has been a puzzle to xenobiologists for years. Very few specimens exist, the largest being on Tatooine . The creature is so remote and so dangerous that extended study has yet to be deemed worthwhile.

Behind the Scenes

Several original design sketches show a lively Sarlacc creature with moving tentacles and pronounced beak, a look that simply could not be realized for 1983's Return of the Jedi .
