- "Last one to it is a rotten gorlap egg!"
- ―Maz Kanata to Kai Brightstar and Marlaa Jinara
Gorlaps were creatures that produced eggs that were known as gorlap eggs. They were referred to in the phrase "last one (…) is a rotten gorlap egg," which was used to urge people to get to a place swiftly, e.g. "Last one to it is a rotten gorlap egg!" said by Maz Kanata to Kai Brightstar and Marlaa Jinara; "Last one there is a rotten gorlap egg!" said by Jinara to Kanata and Brightstar;[1] and "Last one to the dig site's a rotten gorlap egg!" said by Brightstar to his friends.[2]
