This article covers a Star Wars Legends subject that was published under the Infinities label or that Lucasfilm otherwise declared non-canon within the Legends continuity.

"Etro and Droza Edthatt described the humans as 'silver, longitudinal beings who wavered on two points and spoke in a high-pitched gibberish that reminded us of Mocking Trees.'"
The Galactic Gossip[1]

Mocking Trees were a type of tree. At one point, the newlywed Duros couple Etro and Droza Edthatt were kidnapped by Humans from the planet the pair believed was named "Urthha." There, the speech of the abductors seemed to the Edthatts like a "high-pitched gibberish" that reminded them of Mocking Trees. The comparison was later mentioned in an article in the August 8, 6094 issue of The Galactic Gossip publication that covered the pair's kidnapping.[1]

Behind the scenes

Mocking Trees were mentioned in the 1993 book Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, a publication that combines creature designs and photographs from various projects of George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars franchise, with original text by Bob Carrau.[1] Lucasfilm employee Leland Chee, who maintains the Holocron continuity database, has indicated that information contained in Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas is non-canonical with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity.[2]
