In the new Star Wars canon, Jungle Felucians were mentioned in the 2015 magazine Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon 21. The species was originally developed for the 2008 Star Wars Legends Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video game and surrounding multimedia project. They were mentioned prior to the release of the game in October of 2007 in an article that was part of a series titled The Force Unleashed Preview, published by Wizards of the Coast on their website to promote the upcoming The Force Unleashed-themed Star Wars Miniatures line.
