- "Folks say those dragonets are young krayt dragons. Don't know about that, but be careful anyway."
- ―Pfilbee Jhorn, to a spacer
Dragonets were reptile creatures native to the planet Tatooine.[1] Sometimes compared to young krayt dragons,[2] they were often found in lairs made of bones.[1]
History[]
- "Dragonet flank steaks are the main course. Their meat is so succulent! Yes. Flanks. Dragonet flanks."
- ―Porcellus, to a spacer
During the Galactic Civil War, Jabba the Hutt's cook, Porcellus, used to cook dragonet flanks for his master.[3] In 1 ABY,[4] Imperial Custodial Officer Pfilbee Jhorn tasked a spacer to eliminate dragonets prowling around the trash compactors in Bestine.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Dragonets appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[5] In the game, the dragonets had the same appearance than the dune lizards, the scyks and the rills.[1]

- ↑ According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
