"You owe him an apology."
"I'd rather be digested by a jakobeast."
―Breha and Leia Organa — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[3]

Jakobeasts were a brown-furred[1] type of animal that inhabited the valleys between mountains on the snow-covered Outer Rim Territories planet Gigor.[2] In 9 BBY,[4] when Princess Leia Organa[3] of the Core World[2] Alderaan was told by her mother, Queen Breha Organa, to apologize to her cousin Niano for insulting him, Leia responded that she would rather be digested by a jakobeast.[3] Navigator Plesko Marno wore a coat with sleeves make of jakobeast-fur while on the planet Kijimi[5] in 35 ABY.[6]

Behind the scenes

Jakobeasts were introduced to the current Star Wars canon in the 2018 Star Wars Roleplaying sourcebook Dawn of Rebellion, published by Fantasy Flight Games.[2] Jakobeast-fur later appeared in the 2019 film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, the ninth installment of the Skywalker saga films.[1] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the jakobeast was first introduced in Wizards of the Coast's 2002 Power of the Jedi Sourcebook, written for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game.[7]
