Sold scrap to Mexico[edit]

Does anybody know exactly to whom the scrap was sold to? You can't sell it to a country, it must have been sold to some organization in the country. Imagine saying the scrap was sold to the USA.--200.14.108.1 (talk) 17:27, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image request[edit]

Hello! We need an image on this article! Scorpionman 01:08, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Revision[edit]

I have revised this article to conform to the guideline Writing about Fiction. I have also merged the the article Great Pit of Carkoon with this article, since it contains information that is found here. Dmoon1 04:18, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent work! Great job on getting this up to GA status! – Mipadi 13:25, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A Part Of Culture?[edit]

"Like other aspects of Star Wars fiction, the Sarlacc quickly became part of Western popular culture. Aside from Star Wars fiction and merchandising, the creature has appeared in critiques of the films and works of popular fiction as a descriptive term for slowness, a reference to the Sarlacc's extended digestive process."

Could someone perhaps cite a film critique or two which uses Sarlacc as a descriptive term for slowness to back up this claim? I've never heard of this creature being a non Star Wars fan, so the Western popular culture bit I'm not too sure about, although if someone wishes to cite references to prove this, then that would be cool. LuciferMorgan 23:11, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This whole "part of culture" claim has to be one of the more ridiculous things I've ever read on Wikipedia. Puh-leeze. 66.26.95.207 (talk) 04:32, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the body of the article under the heading "Sarlacc in popular culture". I can put refs in the lead too, I guess. Dmoon1 00:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah true you've cited some examples on the popular culture, and that's cool. Maybe you could still cite a major film review which has used the Sarlacc reference, or maybe a certain film reviewer is fond of using the term which you could cite? Hope I'm not being a pain, these are just suggestions. I like your Star Wars articles even though I'm not into the films, still intrigued though. Most would have gone for Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo, etc. characters firstly to rewrite, or maybe even the films. You may have encountered more annoying editors though. LuciferMorgan 00:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I edited this section a little, added another example. Dmoon1 02:22, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually spelt Sarlaac. Screw doing the editing myself as I do not have the time to correct every word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.105.38 (talk) 01:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Entire Sarlacc[edit]

On Wookiepedia there was a cross section of what the Sarlacc looked like underground. Would it be useful on this page?Maddogfilms (talk) 02:02, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

Corrected vandalism by user Boba Fett, who had apparently changed the text of the page to say "SARLAC IS TOTAL A GIANT FUCKIGN SPACE PUSSY." Kurosau (talk) 03:33, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Inspiration[edit]

Could the Sarlacc have been inspired by the Yothga plant from The Scarlet Citadel? Years of feeding on a man's mind, used as a punishment by a villain.Omeganian (talk) 20:18, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Origin in Herbert's Dune[edit]

Lots of Star Wars ideas come from Frank Herbert's "Dune", especially because of the attempt to make a film based on "Dune" in the first half of 1970s. Sarlacc is obviously the giant worms of Arrakis, the dune planet. It would be fair not to pretend that sarlacc was an original invention in Star Wars, as it clearly was not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.92.110.254 (talk) 13:50, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
