The Zugga Challenge was a podracing course located on Mon Gazza.[1] Between the years 4 and 34 ABY,[2] the Spice Runners of Kijimi carried out a heist on Mon Gazza, during which they were forced to outrun a New Republic patrol through the old Zugga Challenge course. The course shared its name[1] with Zugga Entertainment, a company involved in podracing.[3]

Behind the scenes[]

The Zugga Challenge was mentioned in the current Star Wars canon 2019 reference book Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, written by Pablo Hidalgo.[1] The Zugga Challenge was originally introduced in the Star Wars Legends continuity in Star Wars: Episode I Racer, a 1999 LucasArts video game.[4]

  2. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary states that the Spice Runners of Kijimi was formed after the death of Jabba the Hutt, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 4 ABY. Additionally, The Star Wars Book states that the New Republic was destroyed by the First Order in the Hosnian Cataclysm, which Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY. As such, the Spice Runners of Kijimi's heist on Mon Gazza must have occurred between the years 4 and 34 ABY.
