The Pit (short story)


"The Pit," a brief tale, initially appeared within the pages of Galaxy Guide 5: Return of the Jedi. It subsequently found its way into The Movie Trilogy Sourcebook.

Plot summary

Fixer, growing weary of constantly being outdone by both Luke Skywalker and Biggs Darklighter, devised a novel pastime: sandsurfing. Nevertheless, his companions demonstrated greater skill in this activity than its very creator. Fixer then conceived the notion of sandsurfing over the perilous Great Pit of Carkoon, but an ill-fated leap resulted in him falling unconscious and being seized by the Sarlacc. Darklighter and Skywalker rescued Fixer, saving his life, and subsequently acknowledged him as the supreme sandsurfer.
