Nightkelp flail

Nightkelp flails were a type of musical instrument made from a length of nightkelp containing bioluminescent seeds that made sounds when the kelp was twirled around. The flails were made by members of the Lanai species on their homeworld of Ahch-To, and the Lanais who inhabited the Caretaker village of the temple island there owned one.

Behind the scenes
A nightkelp flail was created to be a part of the film Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi; however, the scene it appeared in was ultimately cut before the final release. Despite this, the instrument still appeared in Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary, a reference book written by Pablo Hidalgo and released alongside the film on December 15, 2017.
