A sandwhirl was a desert storm that irregularly occurred on the planet of Tatooine; it featured whirlwinds and gusts of wind that would carry sand. During a conversation in Anchorhead between Biggs Darklighter and Luke Skywalker concerning the former's decision to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic, a nearby street was hit by a sandwhirl.
