Gaderffii stick


A gaderffii stick, also known simply as a gaderffii or gaffi stick, was a bladed club used by the Tusken Raiders. They were used to jab and pummel their victims. The bent end of a gaderffii, called the traang in Tusken, could be doused with sand bat venom, which had paralyzing properties. Though a primitive weapon, it was nevertheless extremely deadly in the right hands. The weapon also served as a tool for more mundane tasks, such as cleaning the teeth of a bantha.

While Luke Skywalker was searching for the wandering astromech droid R2-D2 in the Jundland Wastes, he got an uncomfortably close look at the gaderffii of a bellicose Tusken named A'Koba.

Around 5 ABY, while on Tatooine, former bounty hunter Boba Fett trained in the use of the gaderffii stick after he joined the ranks of a Tusken tribe. After leading the raid on a Pyke repulsortrain, Fett earned the right to wield a gaderffii stick of his own, which he crafted himself in the Gaderffii stick workshop. He used a branch of a wortwood tree that he found in the desert and made it with the help of a craftsman, who utilized a Tusken Adze.

He carried this stick on his back in 9 ABY as Din Djarin left Mos Pelgo following his exploits in aiding the townspeople. Fett would later wield the weapon on Tython against stormtroopers with brutal efficiency, easily piercing through and even outright shattering their armor with it. Fett later attempted to utilize it while being attacked by Krrsantan. Later, he used the weapon to kill Cad Bane.
