[edit] Plot

The story carries on from the events in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi during which Boba Fett falls into the Great Pit of Carkoon, aka the Sarlacc. It elaborates on the fate of the creature's victims as they are slowly digested over the centuries, and especially of the creature's first victim, Susejo. Inside the Sarlacc, for some time Fett is immobilized and his armor heavily damaged by the creature's digestive system, but eventually by goading Susejo, Fett makes the Sarlacc contract around his jetpack, creating a means of escape.

[edit] Behind the scenes

• The tale that the unidentified female Jedi Knight tells Susejo is taken almost word for word from a Zen Buddhist koan, a kind of riddle used to focus the mind during Zen meditation. The animals that feature in the koan were changed to ones from the Star Wars universe for the Jedi's tale.
