Circus/Legends



A circus was a travelling entertainment show that displayed exotic animal species from around the galaxy, sometimes pitting them against each other in gladiatorial matches. Other creatures and being performed tricks and acrobatic feats, all for the entertainment of the audience.

History
Circus Horrificus was a well-known show in operation before, during and after the Clone Wars. They were famous for pitting fierce creatures against each other in matches to the death. Prior to the Clone Wars, around 31 BBY, the circus was involved in the illegal smuggling of akk dogs. When an arqet escaped and killed a dozen members of the audience, the scandal caused the operation to fade into relative obscurity and all but shut down completely. It was during this time that the circus owner sold his wrangler to Jabba the Hutt.
