"It looks like the Sandpeople did this, all right. Look. There's gaffi sticks, bantha tracks."
―Luke Skywalker[5]

A gaderffii stick, also known simply as a gaderffii or gaffi stick, was a bladed club used by the Tusken Raiders.[6] They were used to jab and pummel their victims.[7] The bent end of a gaderffii, called the traang in Tusken, could be doused with sand bat venom, which had paralyzing properties.[8] Though a primitive weapon, it was nevertheless extremely deadly in the right hands.[9] The weapon also served as a tool for more mundane tasks, such as cleaning the teeth of a bantha.[10]

History[]

TuskenRaider-SWApp

While Luke Skywalker was searching for the wandering astromech droid R2-D2 in the Jundland Wastes, he got an uncomfortably close look at the gaderffii of a bellicose Tusken named A'Koba.[5]

In 5 ABY,[11] while on Tatooine, former bounty hunter Boba Fett trained in the use of the gaderffii stick after he joined the ranks of a Tusken tribe. After leading the raid on a Pyke repulsortrain, Fett earned the right to wield a gaderffii stick of his own, which he crafted himself in the Gaderffii stick workshop. He used a branch of a wortwood tree that he found in the desert and made it with the help of a craftsman, who utilized a Tusken Adze.[4]

He carried this stick on his back[10] in 9 ABY[12] as Din Djarin left Mos Pelgo following his exploits in aiding the townspeople.[10] Fett would later wield the weapon on Tython against stormtroopers with brutal efficiency, easily piercing through and even outright shattering their armor with it.[9] Fett later attempted to utilize it while being attacked by Krrsantan.[13] Later, he used the weapon to kill Cad Bane.[14]
