- "What the?!"
- ―Magaloof
Magaloof was a criminal Leffingite male from Almak who worked as a speeder thief[1] on the planet Coruscant.[3] In 22 BBY,[4] he was joyriding in a stolen speeder past the Bonadan Embassy when he narrowly avoided colliding with Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was hanging from the assassin droid ASN-121[3] as it flew through the busy skylanes of Coruscant.[1] The sight caused the Leffingite to exclaim in confusion[2] as although he had seen a lot since coming to Coruscant, a Jedi dangling from a droid kilometers above the ground was new even to him.[1]
Magaloof was later mentioned in an artist's journal, which was restored, expanded, and displayed at the Graf Archive[5] by 34 ABY.[6] The Leffingite had blue eyes and orange skin, and stood 1.4 meters tall.[1] He wore a red shirt with a white collar during his joyride.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Magaloof first appeared in the 2002 prequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones,[2] in which he was voiced by[7] supervising sound editor[2] Matthew Wood.[7] In the current Star Wars canon, the character was first identified in an entry on the StarWars.com Databank,[1] which had been published by February 8, 2016.[8] The name originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first used in the 2003 reference book Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, which was written by Curtis Saxton and Simon Beecroft.[9]

- ↑ Star Wars: Alien Archive
- ↑ Star Wars: Alien Archive establishes that the restored in-universe journal discussed Poe Dameron's mutiny against Amilyn Holdo, which is depicted in Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi. The Star Wars Book places the events of The Last Jedi in the same year as the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY, meaning the document must have been published no earlier than that year.
