HistoryEdit

Throughout history, several different types of whips existed. One type was the Sancretti Arms version, which was made of spun bantha hide cables.

Another type of whip was discovered in 1 ABY, alongside a unique type of hat called a fedora. This whip was considered to be archaeologically significant, and could be worn around one's waist on a belt. At least one spacer was known to have used this type of whip during the Galactic Civil War.

Behind the scenesEdit

In the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies, the developers temporarily reactivated the accounts of many players who unsubscribed from the game between January 1st 2008 to September 15th 2010. To encourage these players to log on, the developers offered all active players a free fedora and whip. These items would only be given to players who logged on anywhere from November 23rd to November 30th. On the 30th, the developers gave players the option to turn the decorative version of the whip into an actual wearable version, which could be colored up to two times.

The whip added to the game was almost certainly meant to reflect the one worn by Indiana Jones.
