Dasha Promenti's blaster pistol had a handle made from a dune zaywar's tusk.
Dune zaywars were a species of tusked creature. The Church of the Force devotee Dasha Promenti used a blaster pistol with a handle made from a dune zaywar's tusk while she lived on the planet Jakku, around thirty years after the Battle of Endor.[1]
Behind the scenes
The tusk of a dune zaywar first appeared as part of a prop in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, a film released in 2015. The substance was not identified in the film, but was named in the reference book Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, written by Pablo Hidalgo and released the day after the film.
