Geta

Geta were a type of footwear.^[1] A geta consisted of a flat rectangular base that could be strapped to an individual's foot with two rectangular supports on the bottom of the base that elevated it off the ground. While walking on^[2] Mount Hakamori,^[1] a snowy mountain on an astronomical object, the Jedi known as Shogun wore a pair of geta^[2] with a heating function that always kept the soles of their feet warm.^[1] Shogun's geta had two small round red lights and a horizontal yellow light on the front of their bases.^[2]

On the planet Genbara,^[5] an RA-7 protocol droid serving as a bodyguard wore a pair of geta while defending a village from bandits.^[3] On the planet Olcatz, the CZ protocol droid CZ-D16 wore geta while working at the To-Ba mobile gambling hall and during a battle against the Crusaders^[4] Jedi sect^[6] on Tkoku Island.^[4]

Behind the scenes

Geta first appeared, albeit unidentified, in "The Duel," a short film in the non-canon Star Wars: Visions series. The animated short, produced by Kamikaze Douga, was released on Disney+^[3] on September 22, 2021.^[7] Before the short's release, they were first pictured in a video uploaded to the official Star Wars YouTube channel on July 3, 2021.^[8] Concept art of the RA-7 protocol droid wearing geta by Takashi Okazaki was included in The Art of Star Wars: Visions, an art book written by Zack Davisson^[9] that was published on October 5, 2022^[10]

Geta also appeared in the one-shot comic Visions 1, written and illustrated by Okazaki and published by Marvel Comics^[2] on October 12, 2022.^[11] On June 15 of that year, a StarWars.com article revealed concept art created for the comic by Okazaki that depicted Shogun wearing their geta. The concept art labeled the footwear in Japanese as 下駄^[1] (geta). In the real world, geta are a type of traditional Japanese wooden sandal.^[12]

Geta appeared again in "The Duel: Payback," a sequel to "The Duel" released as part of the third volume of Visions. The short was produced by Kamikaze Douga and ANIMA and released on Disney+^[4] on October 29, 2025.^[13] Okazaki created concept art of CZ-D16 wearing geta that was included in the short's accompanying episode guide.^[14]
