#StarWars #Kenobi #Tatooine
On the sand swept durnes of Tatooine, Jabba the Hutt and his favorite bounty hunters, Boba Fett and Black Krrsantan, made use of one of the desert planet's natural predators: the Sarlacc. Whenever they needed to execute someone, they made sure to use the pits for the job. But did you know that they actually had an origin story? This is that tale.

Star Wars is so popular that literally everything you see on-screen has an extensive backstory. Including the monster pit that appears for less than 5 minutes.

[@GaMeRfReAkLIVE]

*Boba Fett starts sweating*

[@MrZega000]

Or any of the bounty hunters that have 8 seconds of screen time

[@ChadDidNothingWrong]

Too bad it's gay af now

[@els349]

Storm troopers with one line

[@lightborn9071]

Toothbrushes have their own entry in the wiki.

[@ReviveHF]

Then that particular Baby Sarlacc was killed by a Seimic Charge.

[@GlassShardsInMyFeet]

Sesame seed

[@Muggalomaniac]

Baby Sarlacc do do do do do.

[@wesleydamen2018]

So the sarlac mist be one of the most durable beings in the galaxy because damn

[@UnderratedMomentsfromStarWars]

haha, exactly. Thanks for checking out this video Damen! Hope you stick around.

[@ZoraCatone]

Pretty sure that particular Sarlacc had been alive for over 4 thousand years, not four.

[@DejaLuMusic]

30k in legends

[@jitogee4206]

I literally searched how do sarlac’s reproduce 😅

[@youthoughtaboutit6946]

Is it still a childhood if it can’t really be qualified as a child (or a “youngling” in general).

[@googesowders8622]

Really enjoyed this story

[@galvinstanley3235]

Only one sarlack pit?

[@Iguana5k]

Wait, I thought they die when giving birth to billions of spores in an explosion that is strong enaugh to even shoot them into space. Or is that from legends?

[@vitiate5093]

@Michael Petini so they kill themselves to give birth lol

[@lightningleopard8877]

I think I saw some say legends, cause I just came from a video saying the sarlacc fell on tatooine in a high republic book but didn’t explain further 😅

[@jayc4890]

Great video

[@JaycodaJr]

did you just say beskock instead of beskar? 💀

[@pinburrito3481]

You know what they say about "he who has the beskock"...

[@Tsumefan2]

he also assumed the gender of the sarlaac the bigger sarlaac in the pit is the female while the male is smaller

[@user-kl5zd2oe3e]

"You will therefore be taken to the Dune Sea and cast into the Pit of Carkoon. The nesting place of the OLD Carkoon Sarlacc..." Can't be this one. 3PO makes it seem like the Carkoon Sarlacc has been there for a long time.

[@TheScreenScience]

"The Sarlacc of Carkoon was an innocent little baby...blah blah" Even though it's not canon, sure sounds like Disney infused Star Wars, where nothing can be inherently evil like the "misunderstood Rancor".

[@andrewbarker8631]

It comes down to realism. Factually speaking nothing is entirely evil. SW is an odd franchise. the first 3 movies were so bad. TCW made them make sense lol.

[@thunderstudent]

If you want to get technical they aren’t inherently evil. They’re just animals doing what they need to do to survive. It’s what people like Jabba use them for that makes them into monsters. Tatooine is a harsh and unforgiving world.

[@joseestevezhernandez558]

In the case of the sarlacc, rancor, etc... Makes sense, they are just animals , plants and stuff... Not really sentient to be evil per se

[@TheScreenScience]

@@thunderstudent Sure, technically SW was made to sell toys, and is pure fantasy. So really why not have an entity/being that is inherently evil? I don't think everything that was once evil needs a documented redemption arc. But I digress, poor 8 year old me and my memory of how terrifying the rancor was is now gone forever lol.

[@thunderstudent]

@@TheScreenScience I can agree that not every villain needs a redemption arc or something to make them sympathetic. But in the case of the rancor and sarlak they are just animals. If you’re looking for an irredeemable monster then look no further than the owner of the rancor, Jabba the Hutt.

[@bearskorner9790]

what comic book is that

[@Tsumefan2]

sarlaac of carkoon is female

[@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462]

Hail the EU.

[@Bencrackers]

First again

[@g.h.milanboseblut5616]

Sarlacc swallowed his first victim, Susejo (that's his name, his race is Choi) and merged his consciousness. So..... sarlacc is now sentient (and partly Choi)

[@timwells5696]

Grubba got his curse too come true and can thank Luke Skywalker for jabba s death and swallowing boba Fett but Fett was smarter than grubba thought as boba escape the great pit of carkoon
