Their deployment on Naboo is their first use in open combat, but the tanks have seen considerable training action, leaving them scarred and weathered. The AAT is designed for head-on combat in formal battle lines and is accordingly very heavily armored up front. In fact, the nose of the AA

    34 MILLENNIUM FALCON ONCE FAMOUS AS one of the galaxy's fastest starships, the Millennium Falcon has fallen on hard times, languishing beneath a tarp in Jakku's dilapidated spaceport. Unkar Plutt won't say how he acquired the battered freighter and has refused to let Niima Outpost's scavengers strip her of useful components, insisting that the Falcon can still fly and that he has big plans for her. Beneath her shabby exterior, the old smuggler ship remains full of surprises: Her sublight engines

They are lifted by a repulsorlift array and propelled by Podracer-style jet engines or propeller pods, and are steered by knife-like keels and rudders. Wookiee catamarans are normally used as fishing or sports craft, and are not equipped with built-in heavy weapons. But when Kashyyyk is invaded, hundreds of these unarmed craft are conscripted to bear W

    44 ELABORATE TRAP From the start, it is the Emperor's plan to lure the Rebels into a trap. By deliberately sabotaging supply convoys, Palpatine's agents delay construction of the second Death Star, thus creating the impression that it is vulnerable to attack. To bolster this subterfuge, Imperial agents see to it that Bothan spies are provided with disinformation regarding the state of readiness of the battle fortress' superlaser.

Rare, enormous beasts, one Sarlacc rests in the basin of the Great Pit of Carkoon in the Northern Dune Sea on Tatooine. The Sarlacc's three-meter-wide mouth is the only part above ground level, and is otherwise completely concealed beneath the desert sands.
