- "Crikking Jedi"
- ―A Besalisk
Crik,[2] crikk or crikking was a vulgar expletive. It was once used by a Besalisk on Jedha during the High Republic Era.[1] It was still used during the Imperial Era, once said by Scout trooper Dooze to his commanding officer Altadan Igar.[3] As Phaedra maneuvered the Millennium Falcon through a tumultuous dogfight in the skies, her limited piloting experience became evident when she exclaimed, "Crik... I am in deep poodoo here," indicating her awareness of the trouble she was in.[2]
Behind the scenes
"Crik(k)"[1][2] and its variant "crikking"[1] are phonetically similar to the real-world noun "frick"[4] and the corresponding intensifier "fricking,"[5] which are euphemisms for the swear words "f*ck"[4] and "f*cking."[5]
