Arch Canyon was a specific area included on the Mos Espa podrace circuit. A majority of races chose to traverse the Dune Sea rather than passing through Arch Canyon, however, the Boonta Eve Classic was an exception.
Within the non-canonical 2022 video game LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Arch Canyon is depicted as a section of the Mos Espa circuit. During the Battle of Naboo, Anakin Skywalker draws a parallel between piloting an N-1 starfighter inside the Lucrehulk-class Droid Control Ship Vuutun Palaa and podracing within the canyon.
