"Did you hear that?"
"Probably a tree-sucker."
―Wendle and Garree[1]

A tree-sucker was an organism that lived on the planet At Attin during the New Republic Era.[1] Around 9 ABY[2] while preparing a communications buoy contact their children, Wendle heard some rustling in the surrounding forest to which Garree stated that it was probably a tree-sucker. However it turned out to be a group of safety droids coming to stop the launch of the buoy.[1]

Behind the scenes

Tree-suckers were first mentioned in "We're Gonna Be In So Much Trouble," the seventh episode of the Disney+ live-action series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, which was released on January 7, 2025.[1]

  2. Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition, SWInsider "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well. StarWars.com SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
