"They took my beautiful Shan'ri away. I want to hurt them like they hurt me.
What do you mean they took her away? Who is Shan'ri?
My daughter, my beautiful, wonderful daughter. They killed her. They used her up and they killed her as sure as if they put a blaster to her head and pulled the trigger.
"
―Begol Toulin and a spacer[2]

Shan'ri Toulin was a female Bothan who lived on Tatooine during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Shan'ri lived in Mos Eisley where she died after getting hooked on death sticks. Her father Begol later asked a spacer to enact revenge against a number of spice dealers.[2]

Behind the scenes

Dialogue pertaining to Shan'ri Toulin appeared in the directory tree files for the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] According to these files, introduced with the 2005 "New Game Enhancements," Shan'ri would have been mentioned in the quest "Destroy the Spice," a quest given by Begol Toulin during the Mos Eisley part of the "Legacy Quest." However, Begol Toulin is not known to have appeared on the game's live servers as a proper non-player character.[2]

Notes and references

  1. The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
