Wroshyr wood was a type of wood whittled from the wroshyr trees of Kashyyyk. It could be used as a material to build Auzituck anti-slaver gunships and weapons favored by Wookiees. During the Siege of Lasan, the Wookiee soldiers who fought alongside Lasats against the Empire were armed with weapons made of wroshyr woods.[1] Maz Kanata's curio box was made up of ancient planks of wroshyr wood.[2] Republic Chancellor Lina Soh kept a wroshyr-wood desk above her flagship, the Coruscant Dawn.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Wroshyr wood originated in the 1991 Star Wars Legends Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn. It first appeared in the current canon in Michael Kogge's 2014 young reader novel The Rebellion Begins.
Wroshyr wood also appeared in the non-canon animated television series LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures episode "Peril on Kashyyyk." There the main protagonists, the Freemakers scavenging family, have to rescue Chief Attiburra's son Tantarra in order to obtain a piece of wroshyr wood which Kordi Freemaker needs to pay off their debts and overdue rent.[4]
