- "Diablo Cut! No one's ever done it before… probably for the good reason that it's impossible…!"
- ―Biggs Darklighter, to Luke Skywalker
The Diablo Cut was a treacherous portion of Beggar's Canyon on Tatooine, notable for its allure to daredevil pilots.
History[]
Just before leaving for the Imperial Academy, Biggs Darklighter and his Anchorhead friends held a celebration and one last race through the canyon. The race ended in battle, however, when a group of Tusken Raiders attacked. When Darklighter was injured by a gaderffii stick, Luke Skywalker was forced to pilot him to safety with his skyhopper through Diablo Cut.[1]
