Sideshow Collectibles
"This is no cave..." - Han Solo
Space is always thought of as an empty, barren vacuum, but even here, in the absence of atmosphere and at the mercy of wild temperature extremes, life exists. Fleeing a fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers, the Millennium Falcon encountered one of the legendary inhabitants of the void when the ship was almost swallowed by a giant Space Slug. The vast creature had taken up residence in an asteroid, somewhere in the Anoat Sector, near the frozen planet Hoth. Mistaking the beast's maw for a cave, Han Solo had flown inside and put the ship down in the monster's gut to elude hunting Imperial fighters. It was only while cleaning parasitic Mynocks off of the ship that he discovered the true identity of the "cave" they had entered.
Growing slowly and steadily over millennia, Space Slugs can reach gargantuan proportions. The most massive specimens recorded reached almost a kilometer from nose to roots, though legends speak of great monsters even larger than that. The one encountered by the Millennium Falcon must surely have been one of the biggest. In time, the oldest Slugs eventually petrify and become caves themselves, returning to the stone from which they grew.
