Beggar's Canyon

"It'll be just like Beggar's Canyon back home!"

- Luke Skywalker to Biggs Darklighter during the Battle of Yavin

Beggar's Canyon was a canyon on the desert world of Tatooine. In their youth, pilots Luke Skywalker and Biggs Darklighter flew T-16 Skyhoppers through the narrow canyon. They later recalled Beggar's Canyon while fighting in the Battle of Yavin; during the Rebel Alliance's assault on the Death Star, the two pilots entered into a narrow trench leading towards the planet-destroying space station's reactor shaft, and the trench reminded them of the canyon.

Behind the scenes
In 2015, Beggar's Canyon appeared in the Korean web-comic simply titled Star Wars. The comic depicted a young Luke Skywakler racing his friends through the canyon in his T-16 Skyhopper, crashing the vehicle soon after. However, due to cultural leeway, the comic's canonical status is in a "grey area."
